Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
Tested vehicle: 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 crew cab 4wd
Rating applies to 2023-25 models
The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon were redesigned for the 2023 model year. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2023 Canyon conducted by General Motors.
