The 2012 GMC Canyon - Highlights

 

 

           

 

A World of Choice.

 

Canyon makes it easy to get your truck, your way. Choose from Regular, Extended and Crew Cab body styles. Two-wheel drive or 4x4 drivetrains. Z85 standard, Z71 Off-Road and ZQ8 Sport suspensions. Manual and automatic transmissions. And two available box sizes. Best of all, no matter how you spec it out, you can count on your new Canyon to deliver professional-grade GMC performance, year-in and year-out.

 

Vortec Power Under the Hood

 

Muscle and efficiency come standard on every 2012 Canyon. The VortecTM 2.9L powerplant puts out the most power and torque of any 4-cylinder pickup engine in Canada^, yet consumes just 7.8L of gas per 100 highway kilometres^^. The 242 hp VortecTM 3.7L engine combines the performance of a V6 with the efficiency of a 4-cylinder. And when performance is the top priority, there's no substitute for Canyon's available VortecTM 5.3L V8 with its 300 hp and 320 lb.-ft. of torque.

 

Go Protected

 

In the event of a crash, Canyon is equipped for your protection with frontal and roof-mounted head-curtain side impact air bags. Better yet, Canyon is engineered to help keep you out of trouble in the first place, with StabiliTrak®, an electronic stability control system that automatically helps correct lateral skids, usually before you know they've begun. Research shows that electronic stability control systems like StabiliTrak® reduce fatal single-vehicle light truck crashes by an impressive 63%.†

 

Equipped for Living

 

Canyon's spacious, versatile cabin is ready for whatever you've got in mind. The standard amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, a tilt adjustable steering column and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Every Canyon also makes it easy to make and receive hands-free calls, with Bluetooth® mobile phone connectivity standard on every model. Move up to Canyon SLE-2 Crew Cab and you'll enjoy luxury touches like dark tinted window glass, power assists for the windows, door locks and exterior mirrors and a CD player with MP3 compatibility.

 

OnStar: The New Way to Stay Connected

 

Canyon is the only truck in its class to offer the safety and convenience of the revolutionary OnStar® system. OnStar can perform a huge range of valuable services, including tracking your truck via GPS if it's stolen.
