GMC Introduces Canyon Denali

Car & Driver / November 17, 2015

As we’ve suspected pretty much since GMC reintroduced its Canyon mid-size pickup for 2015, there will be an upscale Denali trim level, and it’s coming late next year as a 2017 model.

GMC has finally revealed the Canyon Denali, and it traces the now-familiar (and 17 years old!) luxe Denali theme perfectly.

The Denali package includes the anticipated chrome grille, chrome body trim, and dazzling—and surprisingly not-chrome—machined 20-inch wheels.

Each of the six available paint colors come paired with a Jet Black cabin swathed in “Mulan” leather seats (the fronts are heated and ventilated), Denali-inscribed doorsills and floor mats, and a standard heated steering wheel, eight-inch touch screen, navigation, automatic climate control, and remote engine starting.

The Canyon’s 3.6-liter V-6 is standard, as well, but buyers also can opt for the lineup’s newly available 2.8-liter diesel four-cylinder.

Being top-of-the-line, the Canyon Denali comes only with the four-door crew-cab body, although the choice of two- or four-wheel drive is left up to the consumer.

There’s no word yet on pricing, but don’t be surprised if the Canyon Denali costs more than $40,000.
