Despite that premium positioning, the Canyon has never offered a universal garage-door opener – a basic convenience feature available even on certain Nissan Sentra trims. That changes for 2027.According to GM Authority, the 2027 Canyon will offer a universal garage-door opener for the first time. It should be a handy addition for owners who use their trucks for daily driving, work, or hauling duties, saving a bit of time and effort.GMCOpening Doors the Easy WayA universal garage-door opener is built into the vehicle, eliminating the need for a separate handheld remote. Typically located in the rearview mirror, overhead console, or sun visor, it sends a programmed signal to operate compatible garage doors and gates. Most systems can control up to three devices, allowing drivers to operate different doors using dedicated buttons.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Canyon will also gain 5G connectivity, enabling faster data transfers and streaming while supporting connected features such as its Wi-Fi hotspot. Data plans will be available through OnStar, GM's subscription-based telematics service and counterpart to systems such as Toyota Connected Services. A subscription will still be required to use the truck's Wi-Fi hotspot.Both upgrades will also be offered on the 2027 Chevrolet Colorado. The trucks will reportedly receive an updated 2.7-liter turbocharged L4B inline-four expected to produce more power than the outgoing L3B, which develops 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.GMCThe Upgrades May Add UpPricing for the 2027 Canyon also remains unavailable. It is expected to retain the GM 31XX-2 platform and continue production at the automaker's Wentzville Assembly plant in Missouri. The changes will mark the first midcycle refresh of the current third-generation Canyon.Given that it will be a midcycle refresh, a price increase is possible. As of this writing, the 2026 Canyon starts at $38,900, excluding destination charges, for the Elevation trim. The AT4X is the most expensive regular trim at $57,300 and prioritizes off-road capability. Buyers seeking a range-topping trim focused more on comfort can opt for the Denali, which starts at $53,300.GMCView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleAdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Aug 11, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
