The 2015 GMC Canyon’s design is all rugged. The front end, tailgate, and bumper are all similar to the other GMC trucks. The Canyon sets itself apart with a lower widow line that sweeps up towards the rear. Both modern and foreign at the same time, the Canyon has had success with this look in foreign markets for a few years now.

2015 GMC Canyon Performance
The 2015 GMC Canyon rocks two engines: 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. The inline-four packs 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque into a small space and is offered with both a manual and automatic transmission. The four-cylinder is ideal for those moving tools, mulch, dirt and other yard necessities. The 3.6-liter V6 is rated at 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, perfect for towing and hauling a heavier payload.

2015 GMC Canyon Efficiency
There’s only a few miles difference between the four-cylinder and V6 engine options. The four cylinder hits 22 combined mpg, decent fuel economy for a midsize pickup truck. The V6 is a little lower at 20 combined mpg, which isn’t a bad tradeoff for the increased towing and payload.
