GMC has published a dark teaser image that previews the all-new 2015 Canyon midsize pickup. The Canyon is scheduled to greet the public for the first time next week at the Detroit Motor Show.
Keeping in line with tradition, the Canyon will be closely related to the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado that was introduced in Los Angeles last November. Details are scarce, but expect the Canyon to be positioned as a more premium alternative to the Colorado thanks to extra standard features, upmarket trim on the outside, a better-finished interior and a noticeably higher price tag.
Canyon buyers will be able to choose from a 193-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a 302-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 mill. The latter engine will enable the Canyon to tow at least 6,700 pounds when properly equipped, and both mills will feature direct fuel-injection, jet-spray piston cooling and dual overhead cams.
GMC has confirmed a 2.8-liter turbodiesel four will be available at an extra cost later in the production run. Power and fuel economy figures have not been published yet.
Base models equipped with the 2.5-liter will be offered with a six-speed manual transmission while better-equipped, higher-volume variants will only come with a six-speed automatic unit. Both rear- and all-wheel drive variants will be offered.
