The 2023 GMC Canyon made its official debut this week, arriving with four trim levels: base Elevation, off-road ready AT4, ultra-capable AT4X and range-topping Denali. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the Denali trim level, which continues as the most luxurious Canyon variant available, offering up chrome exterior trim, large 20-inch wheels and a lavishly appointed cabin.
The GMC Canyon Denali stands out from the Elevation, AT4 and AT4X trim levels with its chrome exterior trim, which adorns the faux front skid plate, grille and mirror caps and frames the exterior GMC logos. The Denali trim level also comes standard with chrome running boards, LED headlights, taillights, daytime running lights and fog lamps, as well as a widened stance and two-inch factory suspension lift.
The cabin of the range-topping Denali is the most important aspect of this luxury-focused truck. The well-equipped interior includes a 6.2-inch diagonal head-up display, 11-inch diagonal driver’s display and an 11.3-inch infotainment display, along with laser-etched open-pore wood trim, a heated steering wheel, a seven-speaker Bose stereo, Jet Black leather upholstery with Teak accents, heated and ventilated power front seats and a drive mode selector with four available modes.
Power in the 2023 GMC Canyon comes from GM’s turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B gasoline engine in the available High Output tune, which is rated at 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. All Denali units will come standard with four-wheel drive, with the new GM eight-speed automatic serving as the sole transmission option. Completing the package is an available sunroof, adaptive cruise control, GM’s Safety Alert Seat and a host of other active safety features such as automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, following distance indicator and more.
The new 2023 GMC Canyon will be available in the first half of the 2023 calendar year. Production is scheduled to start on January 25th, 2023 at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri.

Price?
Say you can get a loaded Denali for mid 50s. Your old Denali is still worth $30+. If you can’t afford to finance $25k, why are you buying the Denali?
@GMC Fan ..C8.R just asked price. And you rip him a new one… WTF, take a chill pill. It is obvious you drink the GMC Kool-Aid and get triggered as soon as someone talks what you deem as bad toward your brand.
I read $63k on another site. Unreal, but trying to separate/differentiate GMC from Chevy.
I understand the 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X Edition 1 is around $63K. And I hear the Denali will be in the $50K range. Prices are ridiculous and a huge increase from the previous year. It took the excitement right out of it IMO.
Yeah, I am still waiting for our incomes to at least match the ridiculous increases in vehicles over the last twenty years or so.
Remember the old days when somebody not a MD could afford a nice full size SUV? Now downgraded to a CUV. Trucks are head d that way. $80k+ otherwise you are now little truck buyer for life
Small or mid-sized trucks that are narrower and then with the short bed too are pretty useless in my opinion. I don’t understand why every variant of this truck is off-road focused. They’ve turned it into a over-priced lifestyle vehicle that can’t actually haul much of anything and will never be taken off-road. It’s become pointless. I like that they’ve offered an off-road version in the past for those who desire that and will use it but I don’t understand forcing everyone into that going forward. I think GM is ratcheting these models back and preparing them for elimination.
I have two Canyons but I have no interest in this. If I wanted a short-box over-priced lifestyle truck, I’ll buy the Gladiator. It’s at least cool and the Jeep is free of GM’s obnoxious culture.
I delivered several Gladiators for the local dealer when they first came out. They had a lot of slop in the steering. I hope that’s improved now for your sake.
Once again this will sell and sell well The GM sheep will flock to the dealership and place the orders and pay the markups given to them. GM can’t loose . It’s a nice truck in full-size price range but who cares right 😎😂😂🇷🇺
I know what you mean I bought a 1978 Chevy Blazer brand new it wasn’t 4-wheel drive but it had a 4-speed stick in it and was capable of driving off-road in the mountains. And I look at the new Chevy Blazers and it is a luxury SUV that I wouldn’t even think of taking off-road.
Part of the problem with the auto industry is a lot of the parts are made in China and imported here to be built as cars and trucks. And also, what gets me is a number of years back when the auto industry hit that slump and the Federal Government bailed them out with my tax money why the top executives still made millions of dollars in salary and we still have to pay for it.
I look for the 2024 canyon to be released next summer in 2023 with a 6 ft. bed
I sure hope youre right. I’ve waited a year for the new truck and now no truck bed, just grocery getter?
I have a 2020 Sierra Denali with 20K miles. I’m 65 with bad knees and am looking forward to the 23 Denali. They’ve squared up the body and leveled it off. The interior upgrades are better than what my 20 has. I guess everyone has their own opinion!
Still not a real Denali. Why can’t gm actually give us a version that’s comparable with the Sierra or Yukon offerings.
Does a 2023 Canyon Dinali have a locking gas cap and does it have electric seats full electric with the back support electric also because my 2018 has neither one of those and it’s a Denali I would think that it would have
