2021 GMC Canyon Denali Changes, Updates, New Features
The 2021 GMC Canyon Denali receives a mild mid-cycle refresh for the 2021 model year, consisting of updates to trim exterior, interior, trim levels and powertrain, representing the seventh model year of the second-generation Canyon.
A mid-cycle refresh can otherwise be referred to as a facelift or a mid-cycle enhancement (MCE) in GM parlance. To note, we initially expected the Canyon refresh to arrive for the 2019 and 2020 model years, which did not take place.

Exterior

- Addition of two exterior colors

Interior
