If you’re in the market for a mid-size pickup with a powerful performance, the 2024 GMC Canyon could be your perfect match. We’re taking a closer look at just six features that make the GMC Canyon a great truck to drive.

1. Canyon Pro Safety

The Canyon Pro Safety package can help put drivers at ease by acting as another pair of eyes on the road. Canyon Pro Safety uses assistive driving functions to prevent common causes of accidents. This package includes:

  • Forward Collision Alert
  • Following Distance Indicator
  • IntelliBeam
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking

These functions monitor your truck’s surroundings and alert you to potential hazards or obstacles in your path. The combination of digital cameras and radar sensors can get a 360-degree view of the space around your vehicle, reducing the risk of collisions with pedestrians or other vehicles.

2. GMC Premium Infotainment with Google Built-In

The Canyon comes with an 11.3-inch diagonal Infotainment touchscreen for all of your entertainment needs. This system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone connectivity. It also features SiriusXM radio for music channels, A-list celebrity interviews, news coverage, and sporting events. With Google built-in, you can use your Infotainment system to schedule appointments, read and send emails, and look up GPS navigation.

3. Off-Road Suspension with 2-inch Factory Lift

Adventurous drivers will appreciate the increased clearance in the new 2024 Canyon. With an improved approach and enhanced departure angles, you can take on more off-road terrains without worrying about damaging your truck!

4. Hitch Guidance

The Canyon’s Hitch Guidance feature makes it easier for you to attach your trailer to your hitch by creating a visual guideline for alignment. Using a rearview camera and radar sensors, Hitch Guidance also allows you to monitor your trailer while traveling.

5. StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control

StabiliTrak is a safety feature that keeps your vehicle upright in the event of rapid emergency maneuvers. StabiliTrak automatically adjusts your brakes and engine torque to maintain your truck’s stability. It also reduces engine power to maintain traction when you encounter wet or icy spots on the road.

6. OnStar and GMC Connected Services Capability

The new GMC Canyon has OnStar and GMC Connected Services capability to give you some added peace of mind when driving. This feature helps you get immediate assistance during car accidents or medical emergencies behind the wheel. Simply press the OnStar button to be connected with an emergency advisor who can send first responders to your vehicle’s location.
