2022 GMC Canyon

The 2022 GMC Canyon represents the eighth model year of the second-generation mid-sized pickup truck. Notably, the GMC Canyon received a light update for the 2021 model year (see 2021 GMC Canyon details), consisting of updates to exterior, interior, technology and powertrain. As such, the Canyon receives a few minor changes for the 2022 model year.

Powertrain

The 2022 GMC Canyon is offered with the following three engine and transmission choices:

Engine Transmission Horsepower @ RPM Torque @ RPM Rear Axle
2.5L I-4 LCV (Gasoline) 6-Speed Automatic (MYB) 200 @ 6300 191 @ 4400 4.10
3.6L V-6 LGZ (Gasoline) 8-Speed Automatic (M5T) 308 @ 6800 275 @ 4000 3.42
2.8L I-4 LWN (Diesel) 6-Speed Automatic (MYB) 181 @ 3400 369 @ 2000 3.42

Platform

Like all second-generation units of the GMC Canyon, the 2022 Canyon continues to ride on the GMT 31XX platform directly shared with the 2015 and newer Chevrolet Colorado.

A modified variant of the same architecture is used by the following vehicles:

  • 2013 and newer Chevrolet and Holden Colorado for international markets (also known as Isuzu D-MAX or Chevrolet D-MAX)
  • 2014 and newer Chevrolet Trailblazer, also known as the Holden Colorado 7 and Holden Trailblazer

Production

The 2022 GMC Canyon is assembled by GM USA at the GM Wentzville factory in Missouri.

Availability

The 2022 GMC Canyon followed the regular GM model year rollover sequence, and launched during the third quarter of the 2021 calendar year. Notably, complications caused by COVID-19 caused a bit of a delay.

Beyond 2021

We expect the current, second-generation GMC Canyon to remain in production for the 2022 model year, and that an all-new, future GMC Canyon will launch on or after the 2023 model year.
