The 2026 GMC Canyon is among the most luxurious midsize pickup trucks and among the most capable off-road.
Don’t expect variety in the 2026 Canyon. There are four trim levels, but this midsize truck is available only in a crew-cab, short-bed configuration, equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive (4WD) is standard in Canada. For the 2026 model year, a new Coastal Dune paint colour debuts, the Canyon AT4 is available with a Nightfall Essential Package, and you can add a lift kit to the AT4X.
Verdict: The GMC Canyon isn’t a bargain, but it’s an undeniably appealing truck. Good looks, a stout powertrain, user-friendly tech, and terrific off-roading capability are the selling points. The Canyon’s fuel economy, value, and safety ratings need improvement. Nevertheless, it's a likeable pickup truck.

What people say
Nice truck. Awesome features, but weaker engine than I expected. My 2020 6 cylinder had more guts.
Nice style but dont waste your money unless you want a 4 x 4 then spend. The lifted and mud tires are good but on 4wheel drive not on RWD.
