Professional Reviews

• “The base Canyon has a no-fault interior right down to its rubber floor mats so you can get in with muddy work boots and not feel guilty. The SLE, however, has more comfort-minded interior with carpeting and more luxurious fabric on its seats.” — New Car Test Drive
• “Perhaps the cheapest interior around, flimsy front seats, cramped rear seat in extended-cab models, thrashy base engine” — Car and Driver
• “Less impressive is the overall design and quality of the interior, as it still wears the drab gray plastic panels of its predecessors.” — Edmunds.com
• “The dinosaurs of GM's lineup, the Chevy S-10 small pickup and its twin, the GMC Sonoma, are dying a slow death.” — Car and Driver
• “GMC's Canyon and its Chevy Colorado companion focus on the light-duty non-commercial user -- assuming heavy haulers will move up to the full-size Sierra and Silverado.” — Consumer Guide
• “Although the truck is marginally shorter than its predecessor, the Sonoma, its about four inches wider inside.” — New Car Test Drive
• “With 220 hp, the optional 3.5-liter engine gives the Colorado and Canyon the highest horsepower rating in the class, but like its six-cylinder cousin, the power is situated higher in the power band than on most truck engines.” — Edmunds.com
• “The GMC Canyon is a handsome light-duty pickup that looks good on paper. But out on the road or trail, where passenger comfort and refinement really count, it doesn't quite measure up.” — Edmunds.com
