2025 GMC Canyon AT4 AEV Launches as Ultimate Mid-Size Truck

URGENT UPDATE: The highly anticipated 2025 GMC Canyon AT4 AEV has officially launched, setting new standards for mid-size trucks. As of today, this vehicle is making headlines for its blend of off-road capability, comfort, and style—all at a competitive starting price of $45,700.

The Canyon AT4 AEV is designed to cater to the evolving needs of truck enthusiasts, moving beyond traditional workhorse roles to become versatile lifestyle vehicles. This shift is critical in a market increasingly focused on multi-purpose utility, and GMC is leading the charge.

Equipped with the robust 2.7L Turbomax 4-cylinder engine, the Canyon delivers impressive performance, ensuring drivers have the power they need. Our tester featured the $10,000 AT4 AEV Off-road package, enhancing its ruggedness with wheel flares, skid plates, and striking 17-inch beadlock wheels. Additionally, the $6,000 AT4X package further boosts its off-road prowess, complete with locking differentials and underbody cameras, making it a formidable contender in the segment.

Despite its capabilities, the Canyon’s fuel efficiency has taken a hit with these upgrades, achieving 16.4 MPG during our testing. However, the aesthetic appeal of the Volcanic Red Tint paint job was an undeniable highlight, turning heads wherever it went.

Incorporating advanced technology, the Canyon also comes with the Technology package and AT4 Premium Package, enriching the driving experience with cutting-edge features. This strategic approach positions GMC favorably in the competitive truck market, as they continue to innovate and meet consumer desires.

While the base price remains accessible, the cost can escalate significantly with additional features—underscoring a growing trend in the truck industry where consumer demand for customization is on the rise.

Notably, users have reported that towing with GMC models provides an unexpectedly comfortable ride, comparable to premium sedans. This is a game-changer for those who require both utility and luxury in their vehicles.

As GMC continues to dominate the truck market, the release of the 2025 Canyon AT4 AEV signifies a pivotal moment for both the brand and truck enthusiasts alike. With its blend of style, functionality, and performance, it’s poised to redefine what consumers expect from mid-size trucks.
