The base Canyon has a no-fault interior right down to
its rubber floor mats so you can get in with muddy work
boots and not feel guilty. The SLE, however, has more comfort-minded
interior with carpeting and more luxurious fabric on its
seats.
The new cab allows about four inches additional room from
side to side for a roomier front seat and a rear seat in
the Crew Cab that more easily accommodates three adults
across. Front and rear seats are chair high which, for the
driver, allows excellent visibility over the hood and improves
leg room for rear seat passengers. The front seats are still
the first-class section of the cabin, but those in coach
won't have to endure the pain of the old sideways-mounted
seats in extended cabs. The Canyon's extended cab is large
enough to orient its occasional passengers facing forward.

The instrument panel has large white numerals on a black
background with the orange needles that GM loves. Lighting
functions are clustered on the dash to the
left of the steering wheel; there are no switches in any
remote location.
Similarly, the center stack, on a raised portion
of the stack on silver-colored plastic, groups the 4x4 functions,
the audio, and the HVAC functions each with their own. The
emergency flasher button is high on the dash where it's
easily seen. The cruise control function, however, is the
same turn signal stalk system GM has had for decades, albeit
refined. Some people hate it; others are don't mind it and
are familiar with it.
The Canyon features triple seals around the doors, an
example of refinement over the old
Sonoma. These not only reduce water and dust intrusion, they also
reduce wind noise for a quieter cab.
