Which trim is worth it

Elevation

Worth it

The Elevation trim adds features like a larger infotainment screen and upgraded interior materials, enhancing both comfort and convenience. This trim is worth considering if you prioritize a more refined cabin experience.

AT4

Worth it

The AT4 trim is designed for off-road enthusiasts, with features such as all-terrain tires and a more robust suspension system. If you plan to take your Canyon off the beaten path, the AT4 is a worthwhile upgrade.

Denali

Probably skip

While the Denali trim offers premium features like advanced safety systems and luxury interior touches, the price increase may not justify these additions unless you specifically value a high-end finish.
