- I’ve reviewed the GMC Yukon Denali and it has been an SUV that I’ve recommended many times. When GMC announced the 2023 Yukon Denali Ultimate, I was intrigued at how they were going to raise the bar to their flagship luxury trim.
Starting on the outside, the black chrome was such a nice touch to an otherwise in your face massive bright chrome grille. What made it even better was the fact that GMC named it Vader Chrome.
The 22” wheel design had multiple depths in the design that looked stunning. The brake pedal still had the stiff feel that I’ve encountered in many GM vehicles. It requires a large amount of force to initiate any bite to them. i figured it was caused by cold brakes but even after hard use of them, the pedal feel remained the same.
Inside, I was greeted bu full-grain leather seats. The color was amazing and the topographical map design of Denali peak was that ultimate touch. The headrests also had a stereo pair of Bose speakers which brought the total to an 18-speaker system. The seats also had a massaging function but was cumbersome to control from the seat’s side buttons as the touch screen selection was not available.
The 6.2L V8 helped get this Yukon moving. The throttle response was instant as you’d expect from a naturally aspirated engine. I would’ve personally have gone with the 3.0L turbo diesel engine to allow for a tank range of over 700 miles.
Overall, GMC has raised the bar to their luxurious Denali brand with this Ultimate.
That is really a good looking vehicle inside and out. Too bad it is so expensive lol.
Just to add on to him wanting the vehicle to unlock while walking up to it. That would open it up to relay attacks (hacking into the remote unlocking) at a greater distance.
I dont think id want my vehicle to unlock every time i walked by it for security reasons. But if the side lights came on and steps deployed like ford that would be nice.
Understandable. You can turn that function off. As far as the side lights and steps, I think it only does it when you open the door. Might be a setting.
It should include another option for the seats.
Are you talking about the color or the layout?
Good review...👍 Great explanation..
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. Are you considering a Yukon Denali?
Great review. Bad news however; the 2025 model is going with that massive tablet down the center console, which I absolutely hate and from my perspective, it's a deal breaker for sure. The 2024 model is superb.
I would rather it not unlock as you get near. What happens if someone is waiting you car and gets in with you? I would rather unlock it myself once I know it is safe to do so.
What happens if someone is chasing you and you need to get into your car quickly? lol Totally understand though and you can turn it off as an option in the infotainment.
If someone is chasing me, I am running to people, not to my car. To each his own I guess.@@Revmatchmedia
Does it come in XL?
Yes it does.
Great review!
My husband is mad. I made him watch with me because he likes it too!
Thank you
@@ericabarocio4838 HAHAHA! How do you think I felt when my wife got to drive it for a week lol. I'm not one to like super big vehicles (Miata owner) but this thing was a dream to drive and super easy to drive as well.
Please i want a Chevy Supercharged 710 hp on theroad when will it be so far guys if you are sleeping Cadilac will be ahead....wake up.
I completely understand but it's harder to sell a $150k+ Chevy than it is a Cadillac. When I even suggest a Yukon Denali people's answers are "At that price point, I might as well get the Escalade"
