EDITORS' RATINGS OVERALL SCORE:
Overall
Canyon lags behind the more popular Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier in most areas.
DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS
Dynamics
Increased horsepower from a new engine improve the Canyon's rating, but steering is still fairly numb.
Comfort
The ride feels a bit bouncy. The seating position and space are as expected, but road and engine noise are borderline.
Function
Feels like a basic truck interior with no innovative features. Two bed lengths are available, but upgrades such as adjustable tie-downs and power outlets are not offered.
Design/Build Quality
Has a bold exterior shape, but basic fit and finish problems have been observed.
