The 2020 GMC Canyon has engaging handling, a smooth ride, and excellent power and towing capabilities from its two optional engines.
The GMC Canyon comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque, and it’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Optional powertrains include a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 308 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque that’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a turbodiesel 2.8-liter four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque mated to a six-speed automatic.
The base four-cylinder engine is sufficient for everyday driving and light-duty work, but the optional V6 delivers more impressive acceleration and power. The optional turbodiesel likewise offers ample torque and the best tow rating in the lineup.
The diesel engine returns the best fuel economy in the lineup at 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. The four-cylinder engine gets up to 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, while the V6 earns ratings of up to 18/25 mpg city/highway.
The Canyon has a comfortable ride over most surfaces, responsive steering, and well-controlled body motions. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive is optional.
