The AT4X will likely add some touches to distinguish it from the “regular” old AT4X, including stamped steel bumpers, integrated recovery points, a front winch, steel skid plates and AEV-branded wheels.

It’s unclear what the Canyon AT4X AEV will cost for now, but the Canyon AT4X starts at $58,490 including destination. The price difference, or premium, for the AT4X AEV is likely to be over $10,000.
