The biggest attraction of the Canyon is the AT4X trim. It has a lot of off-road features thanks to its American Expedition Vehicle (AEV) setup. This setup gives you 17-inch AEV wheels with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler MT tires, AEV steel bumpers, and stronger-than-average skid plates. The AEV edition adds 1.5 inches to its ground clearance for a total ground clearance of 12.2 inches. Though the AT4X is the Canyon’s popular trim, the other trims still have a great exterior look which gives it a strong, cool look.

If you are a bit taller, you may find the back row a bit tight, but most people will find the whole cabin to have enough space. The Canyon’s different trim can give you more functional features, different storage spaces and deep cubbies or more fancy features like nice leather seats and laser-etched open-pore wood trim. Overall, the interior can be accommodating to your personal liking.
Every Canyon trim has an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Google Maps. If you choose the Elevation or AT4 trims, you get an 8.0-inch digital gauge cluster and six-speaker sound system.
