2025 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition Gallery: See GMC's Premium Off-Road Brawler in Photos
The 2025 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition is built to handle the rough stuff, but it looks sharp doing it. With its wide, planted stance, bold grille, and no-nonsense detailing, it shows up ready for the trail. Let's take a look at what makes it stand out. The front of the 2025 GMC Canyon AT4X commands attention with a bold grille that asserts the truck's presence on the trail. Sharp LED headlights frame it, giving a modern, aggressive look. The AEV Edition (American Expedition Vehicles Edition) is a specialized package that upgrades the AT4X with distinct, branded steel bumpers, robust skid plates, unique wheels, and specific badging, among other off-road features. Its factory lift provides increased ground clearance and 17-inch wheels with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler mud-terrain tires for superior traction and durability. Dark fender flares protect the body while accommodating the larger tires. A closer look at the truck's wheels-they are AEV-exclusive, finished in gloss black, and beadlock capable. The AT4X AEV Edition rides on Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers. Instead of basic shims, these use precision spool valves to adapt on the fly. On the road, this allows the truck to feel surprisingly refined; off-road, it soaks up big hits like a champ. The truck comes loaded with an advanced camera offering a 360-degree bird's-eye view with up to ten different angles and even underbody cameras that let you play your own spotter off-road. There's Hitch View and Hitch Guidance for towing, and it's all run through the large touchscreen with wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, and Google built-in. From the plush upholstery accented with contrasting stitching to the red-trimmed air vent and "AT4X" branding that reinforces its top-tier off-road pedigree, the truck's interior successfully strikes a balance between luxurious design and rugged functionality. The dash layout feels purpose-built with an 11.3-inch touchscreen and a crisp 8-inch digital gauge display front and center. The multi-function steering wheel gives you easy access to key controls without taking your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road. It's all angled toward the driver in a way that actually makes sense. All Canyons, including the AT4X EV Edition, feature a turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four engine, delivering a more than respectable 310 horses and 430 pound-ft of torque. It mates with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All Canyon trims come with a four-door cab and a 5.5-foot bed, with your choice of rear- or four-wheel drive. Towing tops out at a best-in-class 7,700 pounds. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Corvette ZR1 Teases Nürburgring Lap, And The World Is Watching
Besides the occasional luddite who believes that a Corvette can only be a front-engine car and that boost should only be built using a supercharger, the majority of car enthusiasts have been impressed by the new Corvette ZR1. For those who still aren't convinced that a mid-mounted and turbocharged engine is a positive step forward, Corvette has just teased the one performance metric we don't yet have: a Nürburgring lap time. In a short clip shared on social media (embedded further down in this article), the new ZR1 is simply described as being "Fast as Green Hell." The release of a short teaser clip is usually the final step before the lap is revealed, so we may not have all that long to wait to see what has been achieved. Given that the ZR1 has 1,064 horsepower and that the current American record-holder at the Nordschleife, the Mustang GTD, has only 850 hp and a front-engine layout, everybody expects the new ZR1 to rewrite the record books. An ex-Corvette engineer has suggested that the ZR1 might even break the overall circuit record currently held by the Mercedes-AMG ONE, and after the world's first independent dyno run for a ZR1 revealed much higher numbers than anticipated, the most insane Corvette yet seems set up for success. But it's not the only 'Vette that may be preparing to make an announcement from Germany. A recent report from CorvetteBlogger claimed that Chevrolet has been lapping multiple C8 Corvette variants at the Nürburgring, including the ZR1, the AWD ZR1X, and the Z06, which boasts the most powerful naturally aspirated production V8 engine in history. GM has never posted official lap times for any C7 or C8 Corvette, so this could be the beginning of a new strategy to further convince the world that a Corvette can box with the best of them and win. And we really do think it can win. The AMG ONE's lap record is set at 6:29, and the teaser clip was shared on social media platforms on June 28 (6/28)... Will Chevrolet soon be claiming naturally aspirated, RWD, AWD, and overall records? We'll report back as soon as we have the answers.
