By Zaheer on Aug 10, 2011 with Comments 0
There are of course some new changes to this GMMC Canyon for the new 2011 model; this has now got a choice over engines which will include the V-8 5.3 liter engine that comes along with a good three hundred or horsepower especially with the extended and crew cab models.
The trims that come with the car will be the SLT, the SLE and the Work truck; the engine choices are going to be the inline five 3.7 liter engine, or the inline four 2.4 liter engine. They are going to come with the option over the four or five speed transmission however.
This new Canyon is going to have a four or two wheel drive for this car no matter which trim is purchased. The customer can also look to buy the six foot truck bed or the five foot truck bed. With the V-8 engine they are really very capable in towing a massive six thousand pounds in total.
This new Canyon is going to come with the Bluetooth connectivity as well as the OnStar system with some nice chrome finishes to the car.
With this new Canyon it is expected to have a body work of a truck and for that to come with the five and four speed transmission though the five is manual and the four is automatic.
The engine choices are going to be the I-5 3.7 liter engine, the V-8 5.3 liter engine also or if those two are not what the customers are looking for then it is the I-4 2.9 liter engine that is available also. The models that this comes in are the Crew Cab, the extended cab and the regular cab.
Many have wondered what is exactly new with this Canyon and from what is it looks like the OnStar has been improved to the 9.0 generation model of this. This is also going to have a great six month subscription for this service however.
The headrest to the front seat passenger and driver is going to have a new design to them though now there are a few good colors such as the aqua blue metallic. There is even now chrome finishing to the doors and the exhaust also.
This new Canyon has got a great slatted grille which also comes with the unique headlamp setup of the two tiers. This is also going to have a great fender flare designed which really brings a great strong and very manly feel to the car.
The interior of the Canyon is not so much updated however which is a little disappointing in fact and the standard features come only a few here and there. The Canyon is going to have however a few different options when it comes to the seating options with the power leather bucket seats though this is only available with the SLE and SLT versions. There will be a good MP3 and CD player available with the car along with the excellent stereo and the sunroof which is good no matter what the day is outside.
With this Canyon 2011 version, it will have three different Vortec engines available; there will be the 3.7 liter I-5 engine which has a great two hundred and forty two of horsepower along. There is also the V-8 which is very big and that will manage to create a horsepower that reaches almost three hundred of horsepower but the I-4 2.9 liter engine can manage a great one hundred and eighty five of horsepower also.
The engines are all very powerful in fact though they are going to come with a choice over the new five speed manual transmission or the old four speed automatic transmission. The suspension is very heavy duty however and it is great when it comes to off road driving also. It is very flexible and something which many people are finding is popular of today.
When it comes to the safety features then of course Canyon really takes this very seriously in deed; there are a lot of great features such as the head curtain side airbags which there will also be the front airbags with a strong sensing system.
This Canyon is also going to come with the standard feature of the StabiliTrak with the stability control with the OnStar system also.
With the amount of different versions available over the fuel economy then for 3.7 liter two wheel drive and four wheel drive it will be that it reaches 25 and 23 mpg on the highways and only 17 mpg on the city roads.
With the Canyon 2.9 liter two and four wheel drive, the car can reach a good twenty five and nineteen mpg on the highways as well as both being 18 mpg on the city roads.
For the 5.3 liter engine for both the two and four wheel drive will be able to cope with both having fourteen mpg for the city roads and twenty and nineteen mpg for the highway roads.
