2026 GMC Canyon
Car and Driver says the Canyon gets a few new additions for 2026: a factory lift kit is now available for the AT4X trim adding Multimatic Jounce Control Dampers, black badging comes standard on Denali Black Edition and Nightfall Edition models, a new Nightfall Essential package adds all-terrain tires and 20-inch wheels on non-AT4X trims, and the optional 18-inch wheels drop their dark grey finish for gloss black only, alongside a new Coastal Dune exterior color. MSRP runs $40,995-$67,995. MotorTrend measured a Canyon Denali's 0-60 time at 6.8 seconds and an AT4X slightly quicker, and says the sibling Chevrolet Colorado provides pretty much everything the Canyon does at a lower price, though the Canyon still represents a clear step forward from the previous generation; MotorTrend lists top-ranked competitors as the Chevrolet Colorado, Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Jeep Gladiator.

Black badging has been added to the Canyon's order sheet, coming standard on Denali Black Edition and Nightfall Edition models. A new Nightfall Essential package can be ordered on all non-AT4X Canyon trims, which comes with all-terrain tires, 20-inch aluminum wheels, and black badging. Finally, the optional 18-inch aluminum wheels are no longer available in a dark grey finish; they are now only available in gloss black.

Record summary
What to know first
MY2026 is a real, sourced lineup update from MY2025: AT4X joins as a new top-off-road trim above AT4/Denali, and the 310-hp 2.7L TurboMax engine now carries the TurboMax name across the whole four-trim range.
Model-year note
AT4X is new for 2026; it did not exist as a Canyon trim in 2025, so the three-trim 2025 lineup no longer applies. The AT4X's maximum towing of 6,000 lb is lower than the other trims' 7,700 lb because of its off-road-specific gearing.
