Yup. American cars just don’t get it. If a 50k Hyundai/Kia gets rear vented seats and 3rd row heated seats in the Hyundai, why can’t this or even something as boujee as an Escalade premium have it?
@@Kazze1 GM rules full size segment, and it’s not even close. They definitely get it. Korea and Japan don’t know how to build a full-size SUV to compete. not saying that that will always be the case but it’s the case right now.
What make your review different from others is that, I was looking for a review to test the sound system. Thus, thank you for testing for audience. The other review is amazing, informative, and entertaining.
This is, of all the vehicles, my favourite! I’m awaiting arrival of my 2023 Cadillac XT5 sport. But should have waited for this Ultimate model. You will need that cash in the hidden drawer just for fueling up the beast! Loving the new format of your videos. You gentlemen deserve high accolades for all your efforts! Keep up the light humour too, it adds considerably to the viewing! 👍👍
I understand the market is crazy but a $20k increase for a Denali spec seems insane … def would choose the Escalade ESV Sport or Grand Wagoneer for $100k+ - dope review as always though.
Uh, I had to watch this review twice,… after Drew said he had never seen Star Wars I was gone on complete mental tangents… am I that old, he’d like some of the designs work in those films/series, wait when did they come out? lmao I then watched again and great review as always, may the force be with you both!
GM should learn a couple things from the jeep grand Wagoneer like how to make the second row seat go forward with a forward facing car seat still in it. Seat coolers in the second row. In the third row in the jeep grand Wagoneer is way more comfortable than an Escalade Esv, or a Yukon XL. The only thing that GM has done right is stick that diesel motor in there to get 26 mpg.
OUR family has the Chevy LTZ, so we will trade in for the GMC Yukon Ultimate I love the luxury and the seat, a lot room- great for my basket ball boys with long legs lol- Veterans
I would choose the wagoner or grand wagoner before this more power and more features and tech u get n more room for the same price or cheaper depending the trim n it still offers more than this thanks for the review guys
Prices for the 2023 Yukon regular models begin at $57,400 (plus $1,795 freight) for the rear-wheel-drive SLE regular-length model with the base 5.3-liter V-8 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission, or $60,500 with four-wheel drive
I really like the ultimate but i need a couple of reasons why to buy this over the escalade considering this is 102 grand. There is little distinguishment in terms of luxury and price. Both offer the same features for relatively the same price for a Escalade sport esv with 4wd+ the 6.2. Thats why it gets more challenging to choose between the 2. This cost 101k and if u option an Escalade sport to this its also 101 grand. I feel like gmc has stepped it a little to close to Cadillacs heels especially when it comes to certain features that this still doesnt offer.
Agreed. Aside from the massaging front seats and maybe super cruise c this doesn’t really offer anything more than an Escalade for the same price. I’d much rather get an Escalade just for the Cadillac badge. Nothing about this car is worth 100K for a GMC…
@@DrChomz Yes I think this is for people who don't want the Cadillac stigma (from their perspective) but want some of the Escalade niceties. There's enough of a gap in there price wise that this can fill it and you don't risk losing sales.
So this is 101k and still doesnt have the cooles seats, or sunshades. ill even be grateful for the manual sunshades and heated 3rd row. Its just that for 101k i would expect more. The styling is very, very good. I mean with this color and the accents of the car it makes for a very menacing look. Those wheels absolutely stunning.
No this is more of the $100,000 car for civilians if you don’t like that sport cars that look crazy and is $100,000 and over. This is a perfect price of ALL its features
Oh my ghost in my country Indonesia, The Land Cruiser vxr 100 or Maybe Lexus LX 570 come to biggest luxury SUV. And now i look the GMC Yukon denali ultimate XL, trust the size kill land cruiser and lexus LX 570. Amazing but real
I have the Yukon and to answer your question and its just my opinion but I bet I'm not the only one, Its because the Yukon is so much better looking than the Escalade I think Cadillacs are just so gaudy looking and the cringe reputation of the Escalade
Everything was acceptable (not impressive) until the middle seat fold part. Grand Wagoner L III, with the power folding rear seats (for starters), puts the XL Denali Ultimate to shame, IMO. I'm only checking this out because my Sierra Denali transmission died at 10K miles, and I'm looking at a trade scenario. Might see what non-GMC options are available in the whole auto group.
Vader chrome because it’s black chrome and Darth Vader dresses in all black and has a shiny helmet… even if you’ve never seen star wars (crazy btw), you have to have seen a picture of Darth Vader! HOW
Hands free driving? Yes will definitely need the safety information on a vehicle that big. By the way, “Vader” is just a more socially acceptable way to say “M*r***ed Out”….blacked out. $102,000.00 is a hefty price to pay for an American made vehicle. I hope it lives up to the hype. 👍
Does GMC and Chevy flip a coin each year to see who does amber turn indictors and who does the blinking brake light crap? Tahoe has amber but next year I PROMISE it will be a blinking brake light and the Denali will have amber. Watch!
If I am spending over 100000 I NEED rear massage seats and ventilated rear seats. I live in Florida. AND I at least 20 mpg. 😂 Great video by the way

@@Kazze1 🎯
Thanks!
@@Kazze1 actually Lincoln Navigator offers ventilated rears standard and available massaging seats front and rear. So it’s just GM that doesn’t get it

A beast ! What a sumptuous cabin and your test drive was quiet and chill. Nice review guys 👍
Thanks, Terry! Have a great weekend

Glad you enjoyed it and found helpful! Thanks 😁
I really love your new introduction. You guys have really improved since 2016. AND in a way you helped me create my own channel!
Love to hear that! Thanks! 😁
What you think looks more imposing? this or the Cadillac Escalade platinum sport

Thanks, man!
Maybe Escalade but not a mopar for that price
@derek4463 grand wagoneer for 100k definitely worth it
@@derek4463 The Grand Wagoneer is much nicer than the Escalade on the interior.

My everyday GMC SUV!! Amazing job bro.
Thank you we already Got our new suv
I would choose the wagoner or grand wagoner before this more power and more features and tech u get n more room for the same price or cheaper depending the trim n it still offers more than this thanks for the review guys
Certainly based on preferences, this truck looks much better than the Jeep. IMHO the Jeep looks awkward.
@@DrChomzidk that grand wagoneer is badass
Happy friday yall!
Same to you!
impressive truck, feels like a tank. really like the 2nd/3rd rows. wish one day mpg would be better. maybe going to electric?
You should do a comparison of this and the Escalade
At this price, if you don't need the LWB I think the Escalade is the better buy.
We might! It would interesting!
I’m loving the new introduction. Good work!
Glad to hear it!

would you guys mind doing the 2023 x3m40i. I am also curious as to how the sound level reading would compare to its 2022 model.
We will be on the lookout for one!

Why isn't the back row ventilated unacceptable
It is!.... Above the side windows.
@@gd2bking1 They meant they are no ventilated/cooled rear seats, just heated.
Every Escalade Sport I’ve looked at has been way above msrp, 115-127k. The Mark ups on Cadillacs are crazy.
The interior still screams Denali! The extra touches aren’t enough to justify the sticker price!
M'y dream car Yukon Denali xl 🔥💪🏿💣🇺🇸🖤
Nice review keep up the good work
Cadillac Escalade ESV vs GMC Denali ultimate
That wouldn’t be a fair comparison
Excellent review!
Thanks, man!
Review was the Bomb ! , as I Wait for my delivery the 3rd week of Feb , with super cruise and the new grey color .
@@ericbarry3639 that's exciting! Congrats!
So this is 101k and still doesnt have the cooles seats, or sunshades. ill even be grateful for the manual sunshades and heated 3rd row. Its just that for 101k i would expect more. The styling is very, very good. I mean with this color and the accents of the car it makes for a very menacing look. Those wheels absolutely stunning.
Pretty sure it does have cooled seats
does the front passenger seat have a massage option as well ?
It’s nice but too expensive for a gmc
No this is more of the $100,000 car for civilians if you don’t like that sport cars that look crazy and is $100,000 and over. This is a perfect price of ALL its features
How you figure
Better deal than paying another $55k to have that ghetto fabulous Caddy.
Oh my ghost in my country Indonesia, The Land Cruiser vxr 100 or Maybe Lexus LX 570 come to biggest luxury SUV. And now i look the GMC Yukon denali ultimate XL, trust the size kill land cruiser and lexus LX 570. Amazing but real
It’s so nice car GMC
This is not worth 20K more than the regular Denali. GM is just printing money even more so with this version.
Gmc yukon xl 👍
For the price I'd rather get the Jeep Grand Wagoneer
So expensive but worth it
Why not just purchase a Cadillac the prices are getting absolutely outrageous.
I have the Yukon and to answer your question and its just my opinion but I bet I'm not the only one, Its because the Yukon is so much better looking than the Escalade I think Cadillacs are just so gaudy looking and the cringe reputation of the Escalade
@@randyp9491idk that Escalade v is tough
You are not alone bud, I'm 33 y/o and i haven't watched star wars or Harry Potter
Me too 😂
I knew I could be the only one! 😂
I don't know if I still be friends with these guys if they haven't watched Star Wars! lmao
You never watched Star Wars???????????????? So, I assume you never had Yukon Potatoes.
Wait, am I that old????

Nice video but your camera makes the vehicle look very long. looks like hearse.
Thanks! That not the camera, it really is that long haha
Eh actually 105.8 with market adjustment
2023 GMC Yukon XL Denali Ultimate 6.2L V8 4X4!
Kinda odd for over $100,000 the back windows aren’t auto up/down
Only the Escalade gets that feature 😂
Vader chrome because it’s black chrome and Darth Vader dresses in all black and has a shiny helmet… even if you’ve never seen star wars (crazy btw), you have to have seen a picture of Darth Vader! HOW
Does all the 2023 XL's come with those 2 stacks of 💵MONEY💵 under the arm rest 🤑 😎
such a nice secret revealed on youtube 😂😂
Hands free driving? Yes will definitely need the safety information on a vehicle that big.
By the way, “Vader” is just a more socially acceptable way to say “M*r***ed Out”….blacked out.
$102,000.00 is a hefty price to pay for an American made vehicle. I hope it lives up to the hype. 👍
Vader=black so Vadar Chrome is Black Chrome
How the hell you ain’t never seen Star Wars?! 😂
Too busy making car reviews, I guess 😂
YOU NEVER WATCHED STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is the shiny helmet Darth Vader wears.
0:50 who is drew again which side
The left side
thanks! it gets confusing sometimes..
2:05 Never watched Star Wars? That’s “hilarious” quite frankly and totally not kosher 😉
Yukón Denali Ultimate. As shown: $101,845. ... And the Escalade: As shown: $101,410. !! ... 🤔
You’re a bigger nerd for never watching Star wars
Never watched Star Wars! Are you from this planet??
Why compare Escalade is obviously better in every sense.
Only comment to the content creator would be to watch Star Wars it might actually change your life in the way you see things
Does GMC and Chevy flip a coin each year to see who does amber turn indictors and who does the blinking brake light crap? Tahoe has amber but next year I PROMISE it will be a blinking brake light and the Denali will have amber. Watch!
It should be a 4 row
Simply over priced. I would buy a full size conversion van with a bed before one of those.
ventilated seats?
🙏🙏🙏
First
❤❤
Still a big square box truck
You guys brothers?
Yes!
Wait? What? You never watched STAR WARS? Were you living under a ROCK 🪨 😂😂😂😂 Awwwwww Gen Z 😢😢 typical Gen Z
So poor people
