The All-New 2015 GMC Canyon Elevates Midsize Truck Segment, Notes Ferman Buick GMC

    TAMPA, FL, January 19, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As an affordable alternative to full-size pickups, the all-new 2015 GMC Canyon enters the midsize truck segment with powerful and efficient new engines, (1) high-tech options such as OnStar 4G LTE connectivity, and modern exterior and interior styling. (2) The vehicle is also expected to offer quite a few segment bests, according to Ferman Buick GMC of Tampa. (3)

Buyers are no longer faced with a full-size commitment when their needs can be met with a smaller vehicle. (1) The 2015 Canyon raises the bar with its standard 2.5-liter inline-4 engine generating 200 horsepower, along with a payload capability of at least 1,450 pounds and a maximum trailering rating of no less than 6,700 pounds when properly equipped. In all three of these areas, the new Canyon is expected to deliver a segment best. (3)

Furthermore, GMC of Tampa would also like to note that consumers can opt for either the available 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 305 horsepower or a powerful and efficient 2.8-liter turbodiesel, which will be offered in 2016. The new 2015 Canyon is also offered in three trims: base, SLE and SLT and will include a choice of two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems. (3)

On the inside, buyers can enjoy a quiet and refined interior with premium materials, in addition to several available connectivity elements, such as OnStar 4G LTE with built-in Wi-Fi hot spot, Siri Eyes for iPhone users and GMC AppShop. A Teen Driver feature for parents, navigation system and IntelliLink with an 8-inch-diagonal display is also offered on the new Canyon. Consumers can also choose to include safety features like forward collision alert and lane departure warning, both of which are segment firsts. (3)

Available with a starting price of $20,995 MSRP, (4) production of the all-new 2015 GMC Canyon began this past fall.
