2025 GMC Canyon Denali

The 2025 GMC Canyon is a midsize pickup that slots between the smaller Colorado and full-size Sierra, offering a more premium take on the segment. It competes with the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and Jeep Gladiator, but leans further upscale than those rivals. The Canyon drives with a composed, stable feel on pavement, and its off-road trims add real capability for trails. The cabin is a clear step up from its corporate cousin, with nicer materials and a large touchscreen across trims. The Denali is the luxury choice in the Canyon lineup, adding more standard equipment and a plusher interior than the AT4 or Elevation trims, so you give up some off-road hardware but gain a noticeably nicer cabin. Every Canyon uses the 2.7L I4 making 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with a eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive; it pulls strongly from a stop and tows with confidence, though the EPA estimates 19 mpg combined. The Denali's standard adaptive suspension is a real bonus on the highway, smoothing out bumps that would jostle you in a lesser Canyon.
