Oshawa, Ontario (Thursday, January 15, 2015) – GMC introduces the 2015 Canyon Nightfall Edition – a stylized, blacked-out edition of the brand’s all-new premium midsize truck that blends a dramatic appearance with popular features and accessories.

The Canyon Nightfall Edition is offered on SLE crew cab models, either 2WD or 4WD, in Onyx Black and will be available in the second quarter of 2015. In addition to standard equipment on the SLE, the Canyon Nightfall Edition includes:

Unique black grille
Black assist steps
Factory spray-in bedliner
18-inch multi-spoke aluminum wheels with Dark Argent painted inserts
Polished exhaust tip
Automatic climate control

“The Canyon lineup is expanded by the addition of the new Nightfall Edition that provides style-conscious customers greater choice,” said Mike Speranzini, brand director, GMC in Canada. “In addition to Canyon’s bold styling and execution, the Nightfall Edition delivers unique content at a greater value than ordering the features separately.”

The distinctive appearance of the Canyon Nightfall Edition reflects customer preferences for personalization and features that support different lifestyle interests. More than 40 percent of the initial orders for Canyon include at least one selection from the comprehensive collection of accessories GMC developed for the truck. The Canyon accessories portfolio includes the available GearOn™ system for optimal cargo management, as well as bed protection, styling enhancements and trailering components.

“The accessory lineup offered on the Canyon is designed to enable varied customer lifestyles,” said Speranzini. “The accessories are developed with customer usage scenarios as the key focus for designers and engineers.”

Additional standard content on the Canyon Nightfall Edition includes:

Rear-vision camera
