2024 GMC Canyon Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

GMC offers the 2024 Canyon in Elevation, AT4, AT4X and Denali trim levels. The new AT4X AEV is an option package instead of a separate model.

Every Canyon has a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine (310 horsepower, 430 lb-ft) and an eight-speed automatic transmission. With Elevation trim, two-wheel drive is standard, and an automatic four-wheel-drive system with a single-speed transfer case is optional. The AT4, AT4X and Denali include a standard four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case and a true low range.

Speaking of standard and optional equipment, keep reading for our editorial breakdown of the Canyon's features.
