2015 GMC Canyon First Look - MotorTrend Magazine
The 2015 GMC Canyon is all-new this year, with it (and the related 2015 Chevrolet Colorado) looking to completely revamp the stale midsize pickup segment. The GMC Canyon aims to bring innovative features for "lifestyle" pickup drivers. The 2015 GMC Canyon's base engine is a 2. 5-liter I-4 producing 193 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. In 2016, GMC will offer a segment-exclusive 2. 8-liter, turbodiesel I-4, which is expected to produce 185 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque and improve both towing performance and fuel economy. The GMC Canyon will feature extended and crew cab configurations, with either a 5- or 6-foot bed. While the Chevrolet Colorado looks to be more of a lifestyle truck compared with the GMC, the Canyon will likely focus on those who need a truck for work, but don't need a Sierra. Loosely based on the global Chevrolet Colorado, the 2015 GMC Canyon is all-new this year. Unlike the old Canyon, the new one looks to lead the segment thanks to its big V-6 engine and an optional turbodiesel I-4. The Canyon also sports a full-boxed ladder frame for durability, optional four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case,... For every Chevrolet pickup, there is an equal but non-identical GMC pickup. Source: www.motortrend.com
