A First Look at the 2015 GMC Canyon

It’s coming! GM’s introduced the newly redesigned GMC Canyon for 2015, which is set to arrive in October. The 2015 Canyon offers a much more efficient option for those who don’t require a full-size pickup. With its manageable size, much-improved interior, new engines for better power and efficiency, the 2015 Canyon is nothing like its predecessor. It truly redefines the segment and raises the bar for everything from efficiency and horsepower to quietness and refinement.

Let’s take a quick tour of all the features that will be available for the 2015 Canyon.

Exterior

The GMC Canyon has been redesigned to make it simple to manage your cargo and protect your truck bed. With three body configurations: an extended cab model with a six-foot bed, a crew cab with a five-foot bed or six-foot bed, as well as integrated CornerStep rear bumper for easy access to the box and available EZ lift and lower tailgate, loading has never been easier.

The attention to detail is really what sets the Canyon apart. Whether it’s the Canyon’s signature C-shaped LED front lighting, the segment’s only standard projector beam headlamps, the chrome grille, or chrome mirror caps and door handles, which are available on SLT models, these details truly enhance the bold front-end styling of the Canyon.

Interior

The interior of the GMC Canyon is built to be comfortable, equipped and well connected, making it a nicer place to sit and drive. The Canyon’s seats are designed for the long-haul, blending in a touch of sedan-like themes in the cup holders, bucket seats and door armrests.

A central dash control centre boasts a standard 4.2-inch or an available 8-inch diagonal customizable colour touch screen with IntelliLink, which lets you customize your media and connect your smartphone with ease. With the available OnStar 4G LTE and built-in WiFi hot spot available, the Canyon lets you stay connected anywhere you go. USB inputs, GMC’s AppShop, Navigation, Siri Eyes Free Mode for iPhone users and even the new Teen Driver feature are all options available. The new Teen Driver feature allows parents to set a radio volume limit, establish a speed warning and set a speed limiter. It even automatically mutes the radio when the driver or front passenger seatbelt is not fastened. This and so many other features are customizable using a locked PIN, which is set by the parent.

Mechanical (Performance)

The 2015 GMC Canyon offers the segments best horsepower, payload of at least 1,450 pounds and best maximum trailering rating with the capacity to tow up to 7,000 pounds. There are two engines that will be available: a 2.5L I-4 with 200 horsepower with 191 lb-ft of torque or a 3.6L V-6 with 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. Each engine features direct injection and variable valve timing to make the most of power and efficiency. Both engines have been optimized for the demands of a truck, which includes torque at lower RPMs for better towing power that will make you feel more confident while pulling a trailer.

Safety

The Canyon is designed to help keep occupants safe on the road, with standard features including: six air bags, large rear-view mirrors, rear-vision camera system for greater visibility and StabiliTrak stability control system. In addition, optional safety features are available, which include the segment first forward collision alert and lane departure warning. These available features let you know when you’re leaving your driving lane or may be approaching another vehicle too quickly.

Mills opinion: We love this truck for two reasons: improved fuel economy and the size. The Canyon’s fuel economy is greatly improved with the use of an aluminum hood, active aero grille shutters and careful work on the exterior to improve aerodynamics. The size of the Canyon is perfect for those who want the functionality of a truck with the convenience of a crossover and the ability to easily park in the garage or in those tight parking spots.

We can’t wait for its arrival!
