2024 GMC Canyon Release Date: Improved Cabin With More Quality Materials – New 2024 GMC Canyon medium truck has been unveiled, which is good news given that the outgoing model as well as its Chevrolet Colorado companion were the elder statesmen in a fiercely competitive sector. Fortunately, the new Canyon features significant upgrades that aim to bring the truck upscale by improving design, technology, and off-road prowess.
2024 GMC Canyon Changes
Exterior Design
The new Canyon has a more powerful appearance than its predecessor. That’s because the factory lift as well as off-road suspension kit are standard features on every 2024 Canyon. All but the new AT4X get a 3″ boost, with the basic Elevation, AT4, as well as Denali getting a 2″ increase more on that later.
Despite the Canyon’s more commanding attitude, it would not be a GMC without a sinister grille. The typical LED lights are given extra emphasis by the large, vertical grille with X-shaped sides. Much more dramatic folds in the sheet metal are developed on the hood and sides.
To accommodate the wider track of the entire Canyon range, certain models feature steel fender flares in place of the plastic ones that came standard. The plastic is reserved for the wheel openings moldings, which include an integrated light for both form and function, especially useful when reversing into tight places after dark. It’s the smallest things that can make the biggest differences.
The Canyon’s tailgate contains a hidden chamber that may be used as a cooler for pregame tailgating. This hidden compartment is watertight and has a drain. The bed has eight conventional tie-down points, and the tailgate has a midway-open capability so that you may transport plywood or drywall lying flat. Any 2024 Canyon you buy will be a Crew Cab with a short box.
GMC should offer an off-road capable vehicle since less than a third all Canyon sales are AT4 variants. Here comes the AT4X, which takes many cues from the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. The AT4X is equipped with a wider track and a 3-inch raise, as well as Multimatic DSSV shocks, cast-iron control arms, 17-inch wheels with 33-inch mud terrain tires, front featuring rear e-lockers, chassis skid plates, and a special Baja drive mode.
The AT4X has increased ground clearance of 10.7″ (regular Canyons having 9.7″) because to its off-road enhancements, including its unique front bumper and the absence of the back corner bumper steps. 2024 GMC Canyon Release Date
If indeed the Canyon AT4X makes it sound like your ideal pickup, you’ll be happy to know that it’s available with an optional Edition 1 package that includes underbody cameras, an off-road front fender of safari bar, the front 30″ grille, a front powerslide plate, a reprogrammable bed rail system, and just a special Edition 1 tailgate emblem. GMC claims that just a “very small number” of a Edition 1 will indeed be produced. After the limited supply of Edition 1 trucks are sold out, other accessories for the new pickup truck, including the safari bar as well as winch, will be made available at dealerships.
Interior Design
Luxury-seekers should splurge for the top-of-the-line Canyon Denali trim, which adds quilted leather upholstery, genuine wood accents, and more soundproofing at the firewall. 2024 GMC Canyon Release Date
The standard 11.4″ multimedia display in the Canyon has wireless Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto, access to Google Apps, plus a seven-speaker Bose sound system. Up to ten different cameras, with front as well as back waterproof underbody camera lenses, as well as an off-road performance monitor, are accessible from the central screen. The digital instrument cluster in the front of the Elevation as well as AT4 Canyons is 8 inches in size, but in the Denali and AT4X models it is 11″ in size.
All 2024 Canyons are equipped with advanced safety features such as automated emergency braking, forward collision warning, keeping assist, lane departure, automated high beams, as well as a follow-distance alert. Some optional extras include a 360º video system, cruise control, blind-spot, as well as the detection of both pedestrians and vehicles behind the driver’s vehicle. Denali or AT4X Canyons provide a head-up display that is 6.4″ in size.
2024 GMC Canyon Engine
A 2.7L turbocharged engine producing an estimated 311 horses as well as 431 lb-ft of torque would propel the AT4X, as it does every 2024 Canyon. This engine will be paired with an eight-speed automated transmission. GMC has discontinued its V6 or diesel engines in favor of the turbo four, which produces as much power as the previous six-cylinder but also nearly as much torque. Towing capacity varies from 5,501 to 7,700 pounds, based on trim level.
