Can I Order a 2025 GMC Canyon Today?
When looking at the 2025 Canyon, you can order one today. This year’s model comes with minimal new features. This is thanks to a redesign being done a few years ago.
The features you can find are 3 new colors and a new “Nightfall Edition”. The ProGrade trailering system now comes standard on the Elevation, AT4, and Denali trims. The Safety Plus package also comes standard on the Elevation and AT4 trim, further increasing the stock.
For the Chevy Colorado, you can get one today, but the changes in 2025 may make it even worse than before. This year, now has one standard engine, cutting back on the options from before.
Some new colors are also added, with even more being discontinued. The rest of the “new” features are optional features becoming standard.
What is the Starting Price of a 2025 GMC Canyon?
With the GMC Canyon having a higher starting price at $40,095, some drivers may think it’s better to opt for the less expensive Colorado. But we’re here to tell you why that may not be the best idea.
While the Canyon does have a higher starting price, it also comes with some of the best features. Looking at the Denali trim that starts at $53,695, you can look for a premium Bose sound system, wireless phone connectivity, and a 6.3-inch heads-up display.
The Chevy Colorado has a lower starting price, coming in at $33,595. While it does start at a lower price, it makes sacrifices elsewhere. Edmunds notes that the base engine for this model lacks power and sounds bad. While the rear seats lack comfort.
Going to the high-end trim, the ZR2. Higher price means better features, right? Not exactly. While yes, it does come with better features for the Colorado, and almost the same price as the Denali, it comes with worse features.
While it does feature wireless phone connectivity, it doesn’t come ah a heads-up display, nor a premium sound system. The one that you can find on the ZR2 is your average 6-speaker system.
