Spy photos: GMC Canyon AT4 2023 tests begin

GMC Canyon AT4 in a brand new look.. with the possibility of a four-engine engine and a ten-speed transmission

Earlier this month, GM body spies caught the upcoming 2023 GMC Canyon undergoing testing for the first time. This model appears to have finished in the range-topping Denali segment, as evidenced by the bright chrome wheels and low-hanging chrome plates. Today, we spot another prototype that looks like the off-road Canyon AT4.

And despite the fact that this 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 prototype is covered from bow to aft in a large amount of vinyl camouflage, we can clearly see that it has an absolutely imposing front. There are also signs of an upgraded exterior design with an aggressive flat surface visible under all this camouflage, including the prominent fender flares and aggressive front fascia. We also note that this prototype does not have any running boards, unlike the lower-suspension chrome units seen on the Canyon Denali model. We anticipate that the 2023 Canyon AT4 will be offered without running boards as standard for optimal off-road clearance, while a range of bolted units will be offered as an option.

Additionally, this prototype features high definition front-end processing. In fact, some camouflage slipped off the front bumper cover and wheel. Let’s be sure that the facade will provide a good angle and attractive design.

At the top of the front end of the 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 is a set of alternating headlights with the signature LED at the top followed by what appears to be a vertical light source. This arrangement is similar to what we saw on the 2023 GMC Sierra HD models and model. Additionally, this front-facing setup is significantly different from the configuration on the 2023 Chevy Colorado, which gets a set of high, horizontally directed beams close to the general lighting arrangement seen on the Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

This 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 prototype features a set of Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires, the same rubber used in prototypes of the upcoming Chevy Silverado ZR2 Trail Boss models. The Maximum Traction MT tires feature a unique design for increased grip on the sidewalls and appear to be more aggressive overall than the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires used on the current version of the 2023 GMC Canyon AT4.

These wheels are surrounded by a set of 20-inch silver wheels with black accents. Contrary to what one might expect upon hearing these dimensions, those 20 inch wheels don’t result in a low sidewall. Instead, the tires on the prototype were metered at a healthy LT265/60R20, with gauge estimates putting the tires at 32.5 inches. This size is slightly longer than the 31″ DuraTrac tire used on the current Canyon AT4.

GMC Canyon AT4 Engine

As previously reported by GM, the 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 will ride on an updated version of GMC’s existing mid-size platform GMT-31XX, which will be called the 31XX-2. The car will get an all-new exterior and interior design, along with an all-new engine in the form of a 2.7-liter I-4 L3B turbo petrol engine that is currently available on the Sierra 1500. In this implementation, the engine is a four-cylinder booster, and will produce 310 horsepower and 348 horsepower. pound-feet of torque. It will be mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission from General Motors.

GMC’s mid-size pickup truck will also adopt GM’s new global electrical engineering – known as the Vehicle Intelligence Platform, or VIP. Besides allowing for over-the-air (OTA) updates for all vehicle systems, the Global B also allows for the latest infotainment and active safety technologies.

Manufacturing of 2023 GMC Canyons, including the AT4 Canyon, will continue at GM’s Wentzville, Missouri plant along with the new 2023 Chevy Colorado model. GM has invested $1 billion in this facility specifically for new mid-size pickups.

Sales are targeted for 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 plan that will include all three North American countries, including the United States, Canada and Mexico. Om n is also possible that the next generation of the 2023 GMC Canyon is available AT4 in the Middle East, the only remaining market outside North America , where it enjoys the brand GMC of General in the presence of a broad field and achieve high sales.
