2018 GMC Canyon is a mid-size pickup truck that looks almost same as Chevy Colorado but it is slightly bigger in size. Canyon will pose a stiff challenge to Tacoma and Frontier after it launches. It has been incorporated into a pattern of innovative styling and operating efficiencies.
The previous version of Canyon was a huge hit because of its overall look and performance, so 2018 is likely to come up with new powertrain but a little tweak in exterior and interior styling. Keeping in mind about its previous sale the company is hoping that the 2018 version would live up to the expectation.
Exterior
The exterior won’t undergo any radical change, but there will little makeover in various parts of the body. This mid-size pickup truck is always known for its overwhelming towing capacity, muscular outlook and strength. Canyon would come up with its same traditional outlook because GMC doesn’t want to lose its patent outlook. This new model will have a low body weight because it will be built using aluminum and other lightweight body parts which will in-turn increase mileage, aerodynamics, and performance.
Build quality
The front end of the car will have a large black grille with chrome stripes embedded in it. In the front, there will be rectangular headlamp with crystal rectifier technology, new fog lamp, and broad, sturdy bonnet. At the side, it will have chrome touch in door locks. The body colored chrome side mirror with power folding feature, large footstep and 18 inches aluminum wheel. At the end, it will have a long bed liner, soft folding tonneau cover, and chrome beltline, large rear bumper with chrome linings, EZ lift, and high capacity tow.
2018 GMC Canyon Cabin
2018 GMC Canyon would come up with some little change in the interior but the trendy and equipped essence won’t change. The cabin’s look would be subtle, nicely designed and really quite. It will have a leather bucket seats, 4-way power adjustable driver seat, heated front seat and lumber controlled seats. It will be also equipped with single zone air conditioning, ambient lighting, rearview camera, leather-wrapped steering wheel and power window. For entertainment, it will have 7 premium Bose speakers, USB, AM/FM SiriusXM and large touchscreen infotainment system. It will be equipped with various standard safety features and security technologies.
Under The Hood
Under the hood, it will have a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that is capable of producing 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque. It might also get an optional 3.6-liter V6 engine that will produce 300 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.
Transmission and Mileage
2018 GMC Canyon will be mated with an 8-speed automatic gearbox with the option of all-wheel drive.
As it is using lightweight body material the mileage will gradually increase. The EPA rating that it may come up with is 19 mpg in city roads and 26 mpg on the highway. The V6 engine would have an EPA rating of 18 mpg on city roads and 25 mpg on the highway.
