The verdict

What's good

Multimatic DSSV dampers — same technology as Raptor and Jeep Rubicon 392 — standard
Front and rear locking differentials plus a crawl-ratio transfer case all standard
Mid-size footprint makes trailhead parking and urban maneuvering far easier than full-size
Bose audio and wireless Apple CarPlay included in AT4X base price

What's not

2.7L turbo-four sounds coarse under hard acceleration compared to V6 rivals
Fuel economy is poor for a four-cylinder — trails mid-size diesel rivals notably
AT4X price creeps into full-size Sierra AT4 territory on sticker
On-road ride is noticeably firm even on highway — daily-driver fatigue is real

The engine

L3B

2.7L Turbo I4

GMC's 2.7-liter turbo-four makes a V6's worth of torque low in the rev range, giving the midsize Canyon strong, efficient pulling power for work and trail duty.

GM engineered this large-displacement four specifically for trucks, with a three-stage sliding camshaft and active thermal management built for towing.

It makes more torque than many competitor V6 engines.
A sliding camshaft switches between three cam profiles depending on load.
