2019 GMC Canyon: Falling Behind the Competition

In contrast to the Ridgeline, the 2019 GMC Canyon struggled to impress in MotorVero’s comparison. While its engine performance received praise, the Canyon fell short in several key areas. The brakes were described as vague, with inconsistent deceleration relative to pedal pressure. Additionally, the transmission hesitated during brisk acceleration, detracting from the overall driving experience.

Inside the cabin, the Canyon’s materials quality was a disappointment, especially in the top-tier Denali trim. For a truck positioned as a premium option, the lack of refinement was glaring. MotorVero’s review concluded that the Canyon is in dire need of a full redesign to remain competitive in the evolving mid-size pickup market.

• Engine: Strong performance from the available 3.6L V-6 engine.
• Brakes: Inconsistent and lacking feedback.
• Transmission: Hesitant under acceleration.
• Interior: Subpar materials quality for a premium trim.
