Shortly after the related Chevrolet Colorado debuted last week, GMC announced on Tuesday the 2023 Canyon will debut on Aug. 11. The company also said the Canyon will get a special Edition 1 package for the AT4X off-road variant.
GMC confirmed the Canyon AT4X in April, making the mid-size pickup truck the second GMC model to get the AT4X treatment after the full-size Sierra 1500. GMC previously said the standard AT4X will have 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, but it hasn’t disclosed other details.
A newly released teaser photo of the AT4X Edition 1 shows a push bar with an LED light bar, and a GMC press release mentioned a factory lift kit, but it’s unclear which features are specific to the Edition 1 and which will be offered on the standard AT4X. The Edition 1 will be available for customer reservations at launch, GMC said, with exact timing to be announced at a later date.

We do know that the Canyon will get the same upgrades as the redesigned 2023 Chevrolet Colorado revealed last month. That means it will have a new frame with the front axle moved forward 2.9 inches and a 3.1-inch wheelbase stretch, as well as more standard driver-assist technology, an updated infotainment system, and wheels that use the same bolt pattern as General Motors’ full-size trucks.
Like the Colorado, expect the current Canyon’s inline-4, V-6, and turbodiesel engines to be replaced by a single 2.7-liter turbo-4, with different outputs depending on trim. Every 2023 Colorado also gets an 8-speed automatic transmission, and we expect that to be the case with the Canyon as well.
