  • All Canyons also feature the wide-track off-road suspension like the Colorado Z71 and Trail Boss.
  • That suspension also means all Canyons have a roughly 2” lift over base Chevy Colorados.  The AT4X will have a 3” lift.

  • The Denali features real wood trim with laser etchings. It also gets lots of real leather and fancy stitching. Naturally it gets all the interior goodies such as the 11-inch instrument display (8-inch is standard on lower trim Canyons), 11.3-inch infotainment screen and GMC-exclusive head-up display. The AT4X loses the wood, but it gets a bold black and white interior with bright red accents all around.
  • These new screens enable the truck to provide drivers with up to 10 different camera views, including HD Surround Vision and waterproof underbody cameras with a washing system.
  • All Canyons come with Android Auto & Apple Carplay
