2026 GMC Canyon
Canyon is GMC's midsize truck counterpart to Colorado — similar powertrain map with GMC trim language (AT4X). Trade-offs: same mpg physics as Colorado when tires/stance match; premium trim pricing is a brand bet.
What's confirmed (EPA 2026)
- Canyon 2WD 2.7L: 20 mpg combined (19/23)
- Canyon 4WD 2.7L: 19 mpg combined (17/22)
- Canyon Mud Terrain Tires 4WD: 18 mpg combined (17/20)
- Canyon AT4X 4WD: 17 mpg combined (17/17)
- Canyon AT4X AEV 4WD: 16 mpg combined (16/16)
Practical notes
2WD leads efficiency; AT4X/AEV sit with Colorado ZR2/Bison in the mid-teens combined. Cross-shop Colorado first on price/content, then Ranger/Tacoma.
Safety
Score pending pending IIHS/NHTSA 2026 Canyon matrix fetch.
