Which 2027 GMC Canyon trim model is best?
For 2027, the Canyon offers four trim models — the Elevation, AT4, AT4X, and Denali — but the one that’s best depends on what you want from a midsize pickup.
The entry-level Elevation offers both the Canyon’s lowest MSRP and a handsomely equipped cabin, with standard features that include automatic climate control, an integrated trailer brake controller, and a bevy of driver safety aids.
The AT4 adds to the base lineup with trail-capable performance upgrades like four-wheel drive, a 2-inch factory lift, and an Off-Road drive mode. Then there’s the AT4X, which can travel rougher terrain, thanks to its 3-inch factory lift, upgraded Multimatic DSSV suspension, and front and rear locking differentials.
And finally, for those in search of the most luxurious choice, there’s the Canyon Denali. It not only looks the part, with Teak interior accents and leather-appointed seating, but it also features premium tech like a Bose premium sound system and 6.3-inch, multicolor head-up display.
Does the 2027 GMC Canyon have a big touchscreen?
The 2027 Canyon comes standard with an 11.3-inch central touchscreen and an 11-inch digital gauge cluster. You’ll also find the Premium GMC Infotainment System in every trim model. Its Google-based software gets solid reviews, with Edmunds calling its Google-based navigation app “particularly useful.” Plus, Google voice controls let you perform a number of tasks — from searching the web to adjusting the AC — without lifting a finger.
