2017 GMC Canyon
The GMC Canyon has received the same mechanical
updates as 2017 Colorado, including the 3.6-liter V6 powertrain.
Featuring continuously variable valve timing, direct injection and
Active Fuel Management, the 3.6-liter lump is rated at 308 HP and 373 Nm of torque, identical to the Chevy Colorado.
Channeling output to the wheels is GM's
8-speed automatic gearbox, which replaces the previous six-speed unit and and
helps supports a maximum trailer capacity of 7,000 pounds, second only to the
Canyon's 2.8-liter Duramax turbodiesel and its 7,700 pounds.
New across the range is the most
off-road-capable version of the Canyon yet, the All Terrain X, which is offered
on the SLE trim and adds off-road suspension and transfer case shield, hill
descent control, 17-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires and
all-weather floor liners. It also benefits from body-color grille surround and
rear step bumper, 3-inch diameter round step bars, spray-on bedliner, automatic
climate control and sliding rear window, and remote start.
The 2017 GMC Canyon Denali features a specific chrome grille, 20-inch
tubular chrome assist steps, spray-on bedliner and V6-only polished exhaust
tip. The range-topping model also gets leather-wrapped heated and ventilated
front seats, heated steering wheel, Denali-logo sill plates and floor mats,
IntelliLink with navi, 8-inch touchscreen, Bose premium sound system, automatic
climate control and 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, among others.
The updated 2017 GMC Canyon will reach
dealerships across the nation in the fourth quarter of this year with pricing
to be announced.
