If you’re looking for an old-school truck that sports modern amenities and tech, then look no further than the 2022 GMC Canyon. Still holding tight to its somewhat boxy exterior in a class that’s shed the aesthetic for a more flowy, rounded one, the 2022 Canyon looks both modern and old-school at the same time.
A no-nonsense, masculine vibe proved to be a winning bet as prospective buyers just like you are flocking to get their hands on one. But a truck is more than its looks. So here are three extra reasons why you should have the 2022 Canyon high on your shortlist this coming year.
- Powerful and reliable engine choices
The mid-sized truck can be equipped with one in three engines, one of which is a turbodiesel.
The base model comes with a respectable 2.5-liter inline-4 gas engine that can produce 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. That’s enough to tow upwards of 3,500 pounds, which is not that impressive, but we’re just getting started.
The first available upgrade is the 3.6-liter V6 engine that will churn out 308 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque, upping the Canyon’s towing capacity to 7,000 pounds.
Finally, there’s the 2.8-liter turbodiesel inline-4 engine that can belt out 186 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. It has an EPA rating of 30 miles per gallon on the highway and it can tow a whopping 7,700 pounds.
2. Great standard features
Produced in four different trims, the base model is dubbed the Canyon Elevation Standard and it comes with perks such as – a 4-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, Bluetooth audio and video streaming, satellite radio, a 7.0-inch color touch paired with one of the best infotainment systems on the market.
It also comes with cloth upholstery plus extended cab mode and a long bed.
3. Perfect price Vs value ratio on middle trims
We see that most retail buyers will probably start considering the GMC Canyon from the Elevation trim up. And rightfully so, considering that the GMC Elevation includes all the features listed above to which it adds keyless entry, multizone climate systems, and fog lamps.
But what makes the 2022 Canyon a truly outstanding truck is that even the top trim, the Canyon Denali is accessible. Order it and you’ll get perks such as high-end leather upholstery, open-pore wooden trim, and chrome accents.
