GMC teases 2023 Canyon in AT4X trim

The next-era GMC Canyon will get an AT4X off-street variant, GMC verified Thursday in a press launch.

Scheduled for a summer months 2022 unveiling, and possible to go on sale as a 2023 design, the new Canyon will be the second GMC model to get the AT4X remedy, following the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 comprehensive-measurement pickup.

The Canyon AT4X will have 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, but GMC didn’t disclose any other information. Assume the AT4X to be a little bit extra hardcore than the present GMC Canyon AT4, nevertheless. Released for the 2021 design calendar year, the AT4 provides a 1.-inch suspension leveling package, rocker panel defense, and entrance and mid skid plates. GMC in 2021 also showed a seriously accessorized AT4 strategy automobile aimed at overlanding.

The AT4 proved to be somewhat milder than some hoped. When it was originally teased, hopes were being high that it would be a reskinned Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. Perhaps the AT4X will get nearer to that.

The latest generations of both the Canyon and Colorado date back again to the 2014 model year, so they are definitely ready for a redesign to hold pace with fresher mid-sizing pickups like the Ford Ranger and Nissan Frontier.

New versions are believed to be dependent on an update model of the latest models’ 31XX system, but spy photographs of a Colorado point out a bit much larger dimensions. Sticking with the present platform suggests powertrains can be quickly carried over, so the 2023 Canyon and Colorado may well keep on with the recent gasoline and diesel inline-4s and gasoline V-6. A hybrid selection could be additional to the lineup as nicely.
