The interior is laced with spectacular features. Moreover, the 2015 GMC Canyon provides a fair gas mileage. Let’s look at the Canyon in detail:

Engine Specifications

The 2015 GMC Canyon is available in a V-6 and an inline engine. The V-6 produces enough power to make the Canyon ones of the most powerful trucks in the market. There are two engine variants for the 2015 GMC Canyon. The first and the less powerful engine is an inline engine with four cylinders. This engine has a capacity of 2.5 liters. The second engine variant is the V-6. The capacity of this engine is 3.6 liters. Both these engines produce immense power and deliver an excellent gas mileage.

Performance

Both the engine variants are quite reliable and produce a fair amount of power for their capacity. The inline 4-cylinder engine is rated to produce 193 horses and 184 pounds of torque. This variant may not work for extreme hauling and payload. However, it will prove effective for basic utility work. The smaller engine variant will be helpful if you need a truck for basic tasks. In some cases, people use their trucks as a daily driver. The smaller engine can suit such needs effectively.

However, the V-6 engine variant strictly means business. This engine is rated to produce 302 ponies and 270 pounds of torque. For a mid-sized truck, the 2015 GMC Canyon’s V-6 variant produces exceptional power. The V-6 variant is rated for towing a load of 6,700 pounds.

Features

The 2015 GMC Canyon comes with numerous fancy features including a rear camera. To support the camera, there is an 8-inch LCD screen installed on the dashboard.
