All-New 2015 GMC Canyon Elevates Midsize-Truck Segment

The all-new 2015 GMC Canyon is expected to deliver class-leading capabilities with the brand’s signature refinement – all in an efficiently sized, maneuverable package.

GMC has a reputation for rugged, reliable vehicles that have the strength to stand out as workhorses and the features and comfort to accommodate personal trips as well. And with vehicles such as the all-new 2015 GMC Canyon in the manufacturer’s lineup, there is no question that the reputation is well-earned. The 2015 GMC Canyon is poised to be a segment-defining release, as this midsize truck offers strength, durability, and high-tech features all in one reasonably sized package. In a way, the 2015 GMC Canyon is the logical extension of all of GMC’s releases up to this point, as it cherry-picks the best features from past models and combines them with the latest technology available for a unique driving experience.

The 2015 GMC Canyon is poised to be a class leader thanks to unique ability to deliver the features and capabilities that serve both the business and personal demands of drivers. At the forefront of the all-new Canyon’s appeal is power. The 2015 GMC Canyon will offer what is projected to be a class-leading 193 horsepower from the base four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine, as well as a stunning 302 horsepower for drivers who opt for the 3.6-liter, V6 engine. The latter option allows drivers who thirst for full-sized power without the additional expense and reduced maneuverability to get that power in a smaller, more versatile package.

The power of the GMC Canyon also allows the midsize truck to pull full-size loads; the model offers a payload of at least 1,450 pounds, along with a maximum trailering rating of at least 6,700 pounds. In addition, GMC expects to introduce a Duramax 2.8L turbodiesel engine in the next model year to add to the Canyon’s capabilities.

The 2015 GMC Canyon isn’t simply about pushing the boundaries of the midsize truck segment with strength, however. The model also offers unparalleled amenities such as available 4G and built-in WiFi hotspot technology. The high-tech Canyon also allows users of the RemoteLink smartphone app to lock and unlock their vehicles and remotely start the engine and flash the truck’s lights with their mobile devices.

Additionally, features previously only seen on luxury sedans such as rearview camera, collision alert system, and lane departure warning, are available on the 2015 GMC Canyon, adding to its segment-leading resume.

The 2015 GMC Canyon offers a quiet, comfortable, spacious cabin with plenty of head and leg room, high-quality construction, and a 4.2-inch color display screen for information and entertainment. Concerned parents can make use of several teen driver settings, such as speed limiting and maximum music volume. The Canyon also features six airbags, rollover mitigation technology, and hill assist modes. And drivers can adapt the Canyon to their travels by switching between 2WD, 4WD, or auto mode.

With impressive technology, top features and outstanding power, the 2015 GMC Canyon is in a class of its own.
