We are on the cusp of an all-new GMC Canyon. The midsize pickup makes its debut later this week, and apparently it’ll be quite adept at ferrying the driver and passenger to nowhere. That’s the message of a short teaser video from GMC, reminding us that the new truck is almost here.
In fact, the teaser wants GMC Canyon owners to find nowhere. If the Canyon is anything like the recently unveiled Chevrolet Colorado, it should be more than capable of venturing off the beaten path. And it will be very similar to Colorado, as the trucks are twinned under the General Motors umbrella. We also know that an off-road-focused AT4X trim level will be available, lifting the truck up while bolting on aggressive off-road tires and, most likely, an upgraded suspension to better handle rough terrain while searching nowhere. .
We also expect the new GMC Canyon to mimic the streamlined design and powertrain of the Colorado. Chevrolet only offers its midsize truck in a crew cab configuration with a single bed length. Under the hood, there’s also a choice of engine – a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder offered in three different power levels, depending on the version chosen. We’ve only seen GMC Canyon test vehicles in crew-cab format, which backs up current theory when it comes to body styles. The outgoing Canyon/Colorado trucks feature matching engine options, so it makes sense that the next-gen models will continue that trend.
If so, you can expect 310 horsepower (231 kilowatts) and 430 pound-feet (583 Newton-meters) of torque as standard in the top-spec Canyon trims. The same power with 390 lb-ft (529 Nm) of twist is the next step down, while lower trims will get the same engine with 237 hp (177 kilowatts) and 259 lb-ft (351 Nm) of torque.

What’s in store for the new GMC Canyon? We’re just days away from the debut, which takes place at precisely 11:00 a.m. EDT on August 11. You can find out all about it as soon as the covers come up here at Motor1.com. In the meantime, learn a little more about Colorado and embark on a “nowhere” motorcycle trip in a very special Rambling About Cars podcast, available below.
