2024 GMC Yukon Denali - Extra Large Ultra Luxury SUV!

Thanks: JEEP Rolf Moskova

2024 GMC Yukon Denali
Starting at: $60.195

Highs: Plenty of third-row space, hushed cabin, surprisingly controlled ride for a big SUV.
Lows: More expensive than the very similar Chevy, even its most efficient powertrain is a thirsty one, its size makes it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
Verdict: Whether you need to tote the board of directors to lunch or tow a 20-foot pontoon boat, the Yukon can handle anything you throw at it with ease.

Overview

If the 2024 GMC Yukon and the long-wheelbase Yukon XL seem very similar to the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, it's because they are. Cut from the same giant sheet of cloth, the full-size Yukon lives as big as its Chevy counterparts, providing the same passenger and cargo hauling capabilities but designed to portray a fancier lifestyle. There are three rows of seats inside and can fit up to eight passengers. The base engine is a 355-hp V-8, but a larger 420-hp V-8 is available. For the very best fuel economy, choose the turbo-diesel inline-six with an EPA-estimated 27 mpg. Despite its rather lux top-trim pricing, even the Denali and Denali Ultimate versions of the Yukon are no match for the opulence illustrated by the Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator. The Yukon and Yukon XL instead shine in their mid-range SLT and AT4 trims as slightly elevated variants of their Chevrolet siblings, but all trims are 2024 Editors' Choice honorees.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Similar to the last-generation Yukon, two V-8 engines are offered: a 355-hp 5.3-liter and a 420-hp 6.2-liter. In addition to those gasoline-burning engines, GMC also offers a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-six that makes a whopping 460 pound-feet of torque and is the choice for buyers who intend to tow heavy items. All models come with a 10-speed automatic transmission operated by buttons on the dashboard and offer either rear- or all-wheel drive. An off-road-oriented AT4 model is also available and features a two-speed transfer case, 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates, and an optional air suspension capable of offering up to two more inches of ground clearance. When we tested a loaded Denali model with the 6.2-liter V-8, we recorded a 6.0-second zero-to-60-mph time and noted significantly improved braking performance over the last generation model.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Available in a variety of flavors—from base SLE spec to luxurious Denali Ultimate—the Yukon and long-wheelbase Yukon XL promise seating for up to eight passengers, although ordering the popular second-row captain's chairs will lower the total seating capacity to seven. Denali models offer a unique interior design with a wood-trimmed dashboard and hand-stitched leather upholstery. A novel power-sliding center console is available in SLT and AT4 models (it's standard on the Denali) and allows the driver to motor the center console back and forth over a 10-inch track to make room for bulkier first-row cargo such as a purse or backpack and stash other smaller items out of sight in hidden cubbies. Cargo capacity is generous, especially in the larger XL model, which offers a whopping 145 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with all of its seats stowed. That's more than its cross-town rival, the Ford Expedition Max (which has 122 cubic feet behind its front row of seats). The standard-length Yukon provided enough space for six carry-on cases behind its third-row seats. With the third and second rows stowed, we fit 35.

This interior is very nice, I’ve seen it in this color. Also never seen this vehicle without tinted windows, still very nice though.

Всё как в Tahoe 12 года, минимализм приветствуется. Разница в телевизоре в панели и телевизорах в подголовниках. В Tahoe телевизор в потолке. 😂

Дааа. Денали однозначно премиум авто. 👍

[Jay-gzmv]

Nice suv but if you’re spending this much money why not just get the Escalade?

Can do without the push button trans i like traditional center mounted shifter & i love the well integrated entertainment center not the tablet style like most. Wheels could be sportier better bolstered seats & its a hit!

We ask you to record a video on YouTube about the types of cars, whether they are new or used, and also provide information such as gasoline consumption, value, warranty, and make. Thank you

[VictorLexin]

The design, was adapted from that of the 2021-2024 Chevy Suburban. Someone can see it. Its just more luxury than the Suburban
