GMC Canyon being tested in Australia
Launched in 2014 just after the Chevrolet Colorado on which it is based, the US-built Canyon is currently offered with three powertrains – a 3.6-litre petrol V6, 2.8-litre diesel and 2.5-litre petrol four-cylinder.
The diesel is the same Thai-made VM Motori unit as the sole engine offered in the Holden Colorado. The Canyon version generates less power – 138kW compared with 147kW in the Holden – but the same torque (500Nm).
It is conceivable that GMC might have opted to ramp up the Canyon’s diesel power to the Holden levels, perhaps to counter the Ford Ranger should the Blue Oval company be tempted to slot its premium 157kW 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine into the American vehicle.
So far, Ford North America has only announced a 2.3-litre four-cylinder EcoBoost petrol engine with 10-speed automatic transmission for the Ranger that is slated for sale in early 2019.
The 2.0-litre Ford diesel – also hooked up to the 10-speed auto – is set to debut in Australia late this year in the flagship Ranger Raptor.
