Which GMC Canyon trim should I buy?

The 2026 GMC Canyon offers these trims:

• Elevation: This is the entry point, and it suits you if you want the Canyon’s core capability and standard 2.7-litre turbocharged powertrain in the most straightforward package.
• AT4: This trim adds a more off-road-focused setup and is a strong pick if you want extra trail capability without moving all the way to the top of the range.

What GMC Canyon do most buyers choose?

The GMC Canyon years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2025.

What is the GMC Canyon's resale value?

Most Canyon model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to benefit from softer pricing.

The 2023, 2024, and 2025 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
