The 2023 GMC Canyon introduces a brand-new third generation for the midsize pickup nameplate, ushering in a long list of updates and changes. Now, we’ve once again spotted the 2023 GMC Canyon out testing.
GM Authority previously caught a 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X prototype wearing minimal covering, and now, we’re once again getting a gander at the pickup’s exterior bits, as covered in thin black-and-white camouflage.
Notably, this latest 2023 GMC Canyon prototype was caught in a convoy of new GM pickups, which also included a next-generation 2023 Chevy Colorado, as covered by GM Authority previously.
Back to the Canyon. Up front, we see a set of production headlights, which, while covered by black-and-white camo, still give us a pretty good idea what the overall design will be. As seen here, the fascia will incorporate a two-tiered lighting design, with signature lighting elements up top, and the primary forward lighting units mounted lower in front fascia. Also notable is the high-clearance bumper design.
In the corners, this 2023 GMC Canyon prototype is running a set of 18-inch wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT tires, sized at 265/65R18. The 18-inch wheels stand in contrast to the simple steel wheels seen on the AT4X prototype spotted previously. Wheel sizing is expected to range between 17 and 20 inches in diameter.
In addition to a completely new exterior design, the next-gen 2023 GMC Canyon will also feature a completely overhauled interior, the layout of which will take after the refreshed 2022 GMC Sierra 1500, as previewed in GM Authority spy photos captured earlier this year. Under the hood, the Canyon will feature just a single powertrain, namely the turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine. When equipped by the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500, the 2.7L I4 L3B is rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
Under the skin, the 2023 GMC Canyon will ride on an updated version of the GMT31XX platform, dubbed internally as 31XX-2. The truck will also feature the GM Global B electrical architecture. Vehicle production will take place at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri.

Looks like GMC may be moving away from the C-clamp LED light signature. It looks similar to the sketch GM Design released last year on their Instagram.
Yep, those C-Shape LED’s have been around for a while now, I personally think it’s time for a new approach on how GMC should make those LED’s noticeable.
These are taking too long to be revealed.
The Front-End has a look that’s almost similar to the upcoming 2023 Hyundai Palisade, I believe this design will look good.
I’m thinking this could end up looking pretty cool
How are you sure it’s a GMC? The stacked headlight design has been a hallmark of the new Chevys more so, while GMC has remained committed to its C shaped lighting signature. My gut says this is the Chevy not the Gmc, but maybe I’m wrong.
I think it’s a GMC because of how the wheel
wells are shaped. They look more inline with the Sierra.
As I have gotten older, I have come to appreciate having a truck for multiple reasons. And I’ve usually had full size trucks. But I recently traded a full size for a mid size and appreciate the maneuverability and compactness over the more-than-I-need capability of the full size. Full size trucks are more comfortable and have V8s, but do I really need that? My truck is a six speed manual, 4×4, and convertible all in one though. so I still have fun with it. But if I didn’t own what I own, I would still own another mid size truck and these upcoming gm twins look interesting and promising. Unlike turbo charged engines replacing V8s in full size trucks, I’m actually ready for turbo charged engines to replace V6s in midsize trucks. I wish Jeep would make a Gladiator 2.0T I4 with a six speed manual.
