The release of the 2025 GMC Canyon has us all excited because this is an impressive truck with impressive capabilities. Let’s review the elements that make it stand out, including its engine, performance, fuel efficiency, dimensions, safety, and towing and hauling capabilities.

Engine, Powertrain, and Performance 

The 2025 GMC Canyon offers two engine options: a V-6 and a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. The latter is standard on most models. If you need to haul extra cargo, consider switching to the V-6. But if you just want a versatile and capable truck for everyday work and play, the standard engine option is more than enough. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive, but you can also opt for all-wheel drive.

In terms of performance, the new GMC Canyon offers a solid ride with firm pedals, perfectly weighted steering, and a smooth-shifting transmission.

Fuel Efficiency 

EPA estimates for the 2025 GMC Canyon are as follows:

  • Front-wheel drive: 19 mpg city and 23 mpg highway
  • Four-wheel drive: 18 mpg city and 22 mpg highway

In other words, the latest GMC Canyon is the best midsize truck for you if you’re concerned about fuel economy. Its aerodynamic body and design help reduce fuel consumption. Not to mention, fuel-saving features such as Auto Start Stop and extended range will also help you save fuel and make fewer stops at the gas station.

Dimensions, Weight, and Capacities

Here’s a quick breakdown of the 2025 GMC Canyon’s dimensions and weight:

  • Length:  213.2 inches
  • Width: 72.4 inches (without mirrors) and 84.4 inches (with mirrors)
  • Height: 79.8 inches
  • Wheelbase: 131.0 inches
  • Ground clearance: 9.6 inches
  • Bed length: 61.7 inches
  • Weight: 6,100 pounds (gross) and 4,110 pounds (curb)

The dimensions and weight of the latest GMC Canyon show that the truck is more than capable of handling light—and medium-duty work and driving around town.

Safety Features and Ratings

Designed to be a safe and capable truck, the 2025 GMC Canyon comes with a wide range of safety and driver-assistance features so you can focus on the road. Standard safety features in the Safety Plus Package include blind-spot monitoring with towing, rear cross-traffic braking, and rear park assist. Standard driver assist features on all models include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. Other safety features include airbags, a rearview camera for better visibility, and a steel safety cage.

As per the ratings, the latest GMC Canyon received a four-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The GMC Canyon is a truly safe truck with many features and advanced technology to keep you safe at all times.

Towing and Hauling Capabilities

As expected from a GMC midsize truck with such a powerful engine, the towing and hauling capabilities of the 2025 GMC Canyon are out of this world, regardless of the trim you choose. The maximum towing capacity is 7,700 pounds for the Elevation, AT4, and Denali trims, which is more than enough for heavy loads. It then drops to 5,000-6,000 pounds for the Canyon AT4X trim, depending on the configuration you choose. Payload capacity is 1,390 pounds for the lower trims and 1,670 pounds for the upper trims.

Advanced Technology Highlights

As mentioned above, the 2025 GMC Canyon is packed with world-class technology to make driving easier and more fun. The infotainment system comes with an 11.3-inch touchscreen that gives you access to navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, media, truck settings, and satellite radio. The trucks also come with built-in Wi-Fi, so you and your passengers can stay connected throughout the trip. Here are other technology highlights we think you’ll enjoy:

  • A Bose Premium audio system
  • Head-up display
  • Digital gauge
  • Wireless phone charger
  • Dual-zone remote control
  • Underbody camera

The truck’s technology also covers the safety department, so expect features that help you park more easily and intelligently, monitor your trailer, remotely start the truck, and more. There’s a reason this truck is number one in its category.
