2015 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L 0-60 MPH First Drive & Review

- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2015 GMC Yukon Denali is a traditional SUV that has three rows and enough room to haul you, your friends and a few horses in the back of the trailer. And unlike the Chevy Suburban and the Chevy Tahoe, the new 2015 GMC Yukon Denali comes with the big 420 Horsepower 6.2L V8 straight out of the Silverado and Sierra. So is it fast from 0-60? You'll have to watch this first drive TFLcar 0-60 MPH video as Roman reviews the newest and most luxurious GMC Yukon yet.

You know the car is good when the person reviewing it has the cheesiest smile the whole time.
This is worth no more than $65,000 if GM wants to sell any. If the Denali is $75,000 then I can't imagine what the Escalade costs.
Look people that are saying it's overpriced well there wrong lol. See it from my point i myself and allot of other people are the "average joe" who will not be able to afford one of these SUV's. It's basically the corvette of SUV's. A guy who make's 200k a year would not mind owning one of these tanks on wheel's. They make lots of power somewhat fuel efficient for the size and have loads of room. People should not get mad they should appreciate the fact that this American company made such a great vehicle. All of GM's vehicles today are pretty good. But they did not forget us lol for the guy who can afford a stripped down version of these vehicles with a 5.3l the after market is massive for LS engines and very easy to get the legendary push rod v8 to push some massive numbers. Just my two cents.
$75K is bat shit crazy! It's not worth half that.
No electric car will ever bring this kind of joy to driving, you can hear the rumble of that strong V-8
Why aren't SUVs like this built with diesel engines? Its not like someone is going to take their denali offroad so wouldn't someone benefit from a diesel SUV. They would be able to tow, carry bags/kids, and would get way better MPG than with a gasoline engine...
Because jesus, diesles are heavy and expensive to manufacture and cost $$$$$$$$$ to upkeep. Just do drive it you need to spend another $50 on DP fluid.
Mr. Jesus - I agree. Take note that Nissan will be coming out with a Cummins TD in their Titan trucks in 2015. So maybe we'll see the TD in Armadas? I think Nissan could have a hit by revamping the Armada into the only BIG suv with a TD that gets nice mileage.
Because in America Gasoline and Diesel prices are very similar. So it takes decades to start saving money with the diesel, because of the premium it would have over the gasser. In Europe diesel fuel is substantially cheaper then gasoline, which makes it much easier to get your money back that you spent to buy the diesel car in the first place. I regularly pay about $3.99-4.35 per gallon for regular ole diesel fuel for my Mercedes in Washington state. Regular unleaded at the same stations is usually about 25-45 cents cheaper per gallon, that ads up very quickly.
like the way you think Jesus.
you can get excursions, and the chevy avalanche in diesel....im not sure about anymore SUVs
this vehicle is a beauty
Reviewers have become extended salespeople for manufacturers. The styling of this vehicle looks so much like a Ford grille and Dodge body. Not much imagination there. I see the improvements/upgrades in the interior, but NOT $75k worth. yeah, I hear the engine, but that engine sounds like the same Escalade engine from 5+ years ago. How much more hp can GM squeeze out of the same block before the design fails? Finally...@ 5:13 when did "real aluminum" become such a precious metal? Who are we kidding? Where's Ricardo Montalban and his "soft corinthian leather" ?
Very nice truck, For 75k I would get a fully loaded corvette though.
Good. I've also edited it to hopefully be more clear. When it was written, I hadn't considered that it could be interpreted as a general "you" rather than the original poster.
Try fitting 6 ppl in a Corvette
This truck is absolutely not worth $75k
Nice exterior and good 0-60 time. Still wouldn't shell out $75k for a GMC though.
honestly, what was the point of keeping GMC? GM already has the overpriced Escalade and the over priced Suburban and Tahoe. and why stuff a huge 6.2 L with extremely poor mileage? Like this guy said, it is a "luxury" SUV, who in the right mind would take their 76k dollar truck off road? GM went the wrong direction in keeping GMC in my opinion. The should have kept Pontiac instead, they were getting pushing out better vehicles in their final year with the G8 being their money maker.
I wish Pontiac would have survived, but from an economical standpoint, GMC was much more profitable than Pontiac. Really sad, but apart from the GTO and the G8 there was no cool Pontiac since 2002.
the ws6 terr0rwolf
oh nvm yea i know. terr0rwolf
I don't even want to know of the price of escalade
80k but those are so nice
so the escalade is staying about the same price
H3N
Bmackins94 I guess
I've been told by the one of the regional Cadillac marketing managers that the new Escalade should START at $90K and up to $100K+ for the Platinum
Dhaher Alelew
No it actually starts at $72,690 In the USA
This is the ugliest SUV I have ever seen
Second ugliest...the new tahoe/suburban is
DNez
Third ugliest...the new Navigator is disgusting!
agreed!
Have you seen an LX570? You might change your mind.
What is going on? Is there an award for ugliest SUV of the year or something...cause most of these automakers, especially the US, are in the lead to win it.
$75K I can go buy a Mercedes Benz GL or Infiniti QX, so no, hell no.
I know right
***** So you can spend $75K on a vehicle but servicing it now became too expensive for you? And yeah, the Tahoe/Suburbans are so gorgeous, belle of the ball. Right...
The Benz would have to be a GL550..plus with the same options. It well be way over $88,000. The QX80 with the same options would over $75,000.
***** Congratulations, they have a sucker, I mean a buyer, go take your $75K down to the dealer and buy one.
***** You right man.
I rather rent one.. They are still building these things like fuel is getting cheaper. With the payment and gas, you will be in the poor house trying to keep up with the Jones-es.
This new "style" is not very good looking.
for 72000 ill go for a escalade or audi lol
You'll spend that much to keep an Audi going.
A guy I work with has a new Audi A8. He hit a deer and broke a headlight assembly. The cost in labor and materials to replace ONLY the headlight assembly: $3200.00!!!
Escalade is 95k$
2000-2006 will always be my favorite styles
a tip : you can watch movies on kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Nicholas Mohammad yea, I've been watching on kaldroStream for years myself :)
Ugly exterior, low quality interior, and expensive. I would go with a Land Cruiser. I don't think this SUV has the off road capabilities of Land Cruiser and Range Rover. These TFL idiots only know how to 0 to 60 mph reviews for cars, and nothing more.
Land Rovers are worse, with the amount of you have to pay and with the low quality luxury and maintenance its not worth it.
I am not a fan of Land Rover or Range Rover. Nice looking SUVs with good off road capabilities but very low reliability. That's why if I have to spend big on an SUV, I will go with Land Cruiser, or LX-570. They have everything a big luxury SUV with off road capabilities should have. It is the perfect blend of styling, reliability, power, luxury, and off road capabilities.
Amir - the land cruiser has some serious packaging oddities. Seen those 3rd row seats? And the price....they start $7k more than where the Yukon in this video stickers. And I disagree, I've seen the interior of the new Tahoe/Yukon and it's darn nice. And it cannot be said too often - These cars are NOT for off-roading. I challenge you to go to Moab and find a Lexus or Range Rover off road.
Eric Peltier For luxury, I would go with Lexus LX-570. For offroad, I would go with Land Cruiser, but LX-570 has the same off road capabilities as Land Cruiser since it is built on the same platform, identical crawling options, locking differential, etc. Not sure if the LX owners would take them off road though. I would prefer to spend that extra $7K to get a Land Cruiser over GM products for a simple reason: I have seen tons of Land Cruisers with +300K miles, but haven't seen many GM products more than let's say 150K miles.
You do realize that the Land Cruiser is the worst selling SUV in North America right? That overpriced tub of cheapy shit offers nothing that the Tahoe/Yukon doesn't. The 200 series Land Cruiser is no more capable off road than a Tahoe, regardless of the electronic off road crap.
You buy a denali for its name, just like a aston martin, these trucks are truly the king of the roads
shut up all you people saying that a sedan is better than the rumble of a traditional American v8. you really think you can compare some type of crap to a beast from the wild. let's give it a try
It may be expensive, but it's worth it imo.
Alot of money yo
Too much is worth it
That truck got a lot of cool stuff
@@anthonybaker1741 not anymore
Its about time you guys made some good SUV videos. :)
WAAAAAAYYY OVERPRICED
Missing old school GM ...
I think GMC must thank Ford when they modify their third row seats which was very bad design in previous models, now it looks exactly like the one in Ford Expedition.
Those are nice as hell but 15k over priced. The escalade used to start off at 62k and now a Tahoe is 70k. GM is way way way over pricing the new SUVs. Let me guess the next escalade will start off at 80k.
The escalade actually starts a 72k.
To be fair, if that's possible, these are the loaded models. Options are expensive on any vehicle. Go to BMW or Merc and build one of theirs to see what I mean.
dchawk81 The Tahoe and suburban still are way overpriced. Think about this, would you buy a Yukon or a Tahoe for 50k with just literally satellite radio as your only option? Because that is how much it is. And 20k for options on a GM vehicle to equal 70k on a suburban, I minus well go BMW or Mercedes.
Rtvoll Actually 68k for the regular one and 70k for the ESV. But still the Yukon and Tahoe/Suburban are way way over priced.
6824096 GM literally owns the suv market. Thats why the tahoe is "Overpriced. You corner the market and then raise the price. Simple business economics. I would still rather buy a tahoe used then go with the germans because I want something reliable and I have never had the best luck with any european cars.
$75000...!?!? Are they fucking serious? Does that make the Escalade $100k? GM is fucking insane....Hell with that, I'll stick with my 07 Expedition EL EB 4x4. 194k and it still gets 20mpg highway at 65mph and is in ridiculously good shape.
Theres a reason why all the celebs get driven around in the gm suvs and not a merc gl. They are very comfortable. If you need to tow alot, you can, drive 7 or 8 people around you can, you wanna go off roading you can, you wanna be safe, you are, laws of physics, bigger and heavier wins, i mean to get hit by a pickup truck in this suv or a prius? As far as price, well 15 years ago i almost bought a chevy tahoe, cheapest on the lot was 38 grand, now they start at45 grand. Its called inflation.
If this cost 75k then what would escalade be?
I would guess 84K fully loaded. Ridiculous! I do love the Yukon Design though!
mbmck00 anyone who is willing to spend anything over 55k for an american suv is retarded lol!
Why would I get the Denali for 75k when I could get the escalade with a better interior for 72k?
That's the price as tested, not the starting price. I don't have the prices in front of me but I would assume a similarly equipped Escalade would cost more.
MrAnalFace FYI: A similar Escalade will be almost 10K more.
That's a base Cadillac. The top of the line is over 100k
Because you can't. Escalades are 90+. Moron.
I drive an 03 Yukon Xl Denali, it has a 6.0. And i have driven Suburban's and Tahoe's that can't compare. They feel heavy and well the AWD on the Denali's is great and they are really well made. Mine is going on 11 years and has no mechanical problems and its alot of fun. 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds.
I really don't like the direction in styling for gm suvs they are looking more like 90's expeditions than anything
I hope the new escalade is not going to be 90000 thousand dollars starting because with the money i would rather have a range rover.
I have a 2007 Cadillac Escalade, which I love, but to put this in perspective, in 2007 the MSRP was $57,280 for the AWD version of my Escalade. $75,000 for a Denali is Insane! Just seven years later, this pricing is very disappointing. Heck, the LTZ Tahoe is $71k, smh.
Still waiting on the expedition/navigator :)
New escalade has this beat by a mile. Lincoln and gmc need to re think
if your going to pay 75,000 for this... just go buy an escalade
All of the features shown are in the durango for a starting price below 40k. I also like the styling overall of the durango as well. But it doesn't have a 6.2 liter V8...
that's... kind of sad. my 2005 sierra could do 0-60 in roughly a second later and its just a stock 5.3L. -_- a 10 year difference almost and hardly any faster than mine and it was around 40K at the time (but mine was custom and lowered to the ground) 36K less than this. could probably dump 6K in it and easily out run it, and the rest could go to aesthetics. -_- if anyone wants a pic, PM me for it.
Look at the weight difference, and also a second its a lot go to a drag strip and see what a second faster car looks to a car one second slower. Learn before speaking. And no your truck does it in 8 seconds unless it was the short bed single cab 5.3
love it .... my next car once i sell my 06 yukon denali
I love it as well, How much would you sell your current Yukon Denali for?
well its a 2005 black yukon denali XL. It has 125K miles on it about. Its got grey leather seats,navigation,satellite radio,bose audio, and a rear entertainment system I payed extra for. I would sell it for about $8000-$10000
Not bad at all,
Its already sold
Oh dang, you going to get the new 2015?
The last generation Denali was only around 65k.
When did Yukons and Suburbans start for so much?? They've gotten much closer to European SUVs price-wise.
you can usually get them for a lot less
This is a top of the line yukon. It starts somewhere closer to 45K
What's so hard to understand? It's 2014 and technology has gotten much better. Compare the luxury amenities you get in a new G-Class compared to a new Denali and I bet they compare pretty similarly.
MrCleanPolo I never said it was hard to understand. I literally only asked when they got so pricey. Calm down a tad.
And as far as "technology has gotten much better," I disagree. No. Technology has gotten more accessible. That's the reason why the stuff you find in a Denali will *finally* parallel the G-Class (which has had all this "stuff" for a while).
They're more RELIABLE than most European SUVs too; just because something is European doesn't means it better. BTW both my vehicles are European.
too much money. love the truck hate the price.
Can someone explain to me where this fits in? The Tahoe obviously being the 'everyday' mans SUV, but what is this? It can't be luxurious because that's the Escalade's genre.
I understand this is a niche market, but a 70k being targeted towards everyday folk sure is hefty - I understand this is a boat of a truck though.
its a brand choice really, people who buy the sierra wouldn't buy a Silverado if a sierra was available same goes for this. Brand loyalty even though its just rebadged
Well it is the ultra luxury like that of the Escalade for people who don't want the full on flash of the Cadillac. So Chevy is for everyone, the Denali is for the luxury buyer who doesn't want to shock and awe, and the Cadillac is in your face boldness.
That's just it...It doesn't fit in. Ford for example has the Expedition / EL models which serve as the every man's SUV for their nameplate and the Lincoln Navigator serves as Fords ultra lux SUV.
GM seem's to think that they need three brands to shuffle around. From GM's perspective its like...
Chevrolet Taho = Every man's SUV
GMC Denali = Luxury SUV
Cadillac Escalade = Ultra Lux SUV
The Denali is in a segment all on its own with no real competition because other manufactures see how much of a waste of money it is to have 3 segments like this.
The interior of the car doesn't have the design of what a 75k car should look like.. Unless you really have to haul a bunch of people around all the time I am not sure why one would get this over a land rover, or mercedes, or bmw, or audi..
If they made something as big as this why not. Oh wait nope
I dont understand why you guys do so many 0-60. whats the point? If Im gonna buy this huge SUV I wont be expecting a fast launch at all. you guys should do more Interior review instead.
I agree but some people care.
Right, cars don't accelerate. Why would want to know how well it accelerates?
Christ Jesus well those who care should go buy Ferraris or Lambos
aram442 Besides, not everyone can afford a Ferrari or a Lambo. Maybe a Corvette or a Camaro or something but the fact that you're talking about cars that cost this much makes you look even dumber.
Christ Jesus your so stupid man. if your gonna buy a fuckin Denali sure your not a damn poor guy. cz this damn cars price is 75k$ and if a family guy owns one of these Im pretty sure he also has a weekend car or a sports car or whatever you wanna call it damn. Sometimes I hate TH-cam cz of people like you who argue over such things.
GM has definitely stepped up their game with the generation SUVs !
Kuddos to them !!
I'll wait for the expedition
Im sorry but it's just too damn hard to try to justify this thing over something like a Merc GL or X5 or something...
yeah you are right 100%
this thing should go cheaper
even the SVT Raptor is cheaper than this xD !!
The GL is an S-class with 7 seats added. Not even an SUV. Plus the denali is considered a truck because its over 6500 lbs
yeah you are right, but that doesn't justify the price.
As the technology is getting, the price is expected to increase. To be honest, I expected the price to increase. Probably get an Escalade rather than a denali.
I don't like tech parts in cars, usually expensive and I rarely use it. Especially in daily routine driving. all I need is speakers and AUX port, that's enough for me xD !!
In the precious generation (and earlier) I liked the look of the Tahoe much better than the Yukon and Escalade and would (even if money was no object) much rather have a fully loaded Tahoe than the others. Now though, I must say I like the look of the Yukon better than the Tahoe.
She's a beauty, alright.
It is so painful to hear you say denali lol. You sound so Yankee with pronunciation of the A.
Ugly and over priced!!
can you get the 6.2 without all the overpriced options...?
I'd buy it if I had the money.
This is like doing a 0-60 test on a school bus. Don't see a point of this review.
Thanks for the great idea. We'd love to do a 0-60 MPH test on a school bus. Do you think it could break 15 seconds? Hmmmmmm
The Fast Lane Car I think its a great idea to find it out... I think it won't .. lets see
The Fast Lane Car
i drive a school bus, and it would take my bus 45 to 50 sec to get to 60. thats fast for a bus
Ik it's so pointless, who is going to buy an suv/pickup or any car for that matter that's not designed for performance based on its 0-60 time lol
+TIGER x GAMING They are faster than you think. Some nice sedans can't even hang with this yukon or the Escalade in a straight line.
they're slowly killing every single 2015 body style... mustang.. cadillac.. mazda.. jeep... and so on..
I ordered one have another 2 weeks to take delivery I order all black fully loaded after tax it was 79 574.67and well worth it can't wait
Am I the only one who actually likes how this looks??? I mean i wouldn't/ couldn't buy one, but its looks very nice.
These things are all so UGLY though. i wouldn't own one of these if you gave it to me. i'll keep my 99 tahoe at least it looks decent and if something tears up on it i don't have to hire a rocket surgeon to work on it either. The new safety stuff on these i love but the drive by wire and electric steering that fails in cold weather and climates, i have NO time for that what so ever it's junk and about the first time someone takes one of these things off road it's done!
OH god its ugly
don't say that
Oh god I wonder what your car looks like
Christ Jesus I think it's too boxy in the front. my opinion and my car is not much prettier. an 00 expedition. its ugly as hell but gets the job done
ks10308 You seem to be the only one who thinks it's ugly.
US gov regulation, All SUV must match the front bumper with the car bumper. Blame the Government.
I'm a Ford guy. Now I have to say, I'm not a big fan of GM, at all lol. But DAMN that 6.2 sounds AWESOME and kicks ass! Otherwise... 75K? OH HELL NO GM SCREW YOU. I'd MUCH rather have a Mercedes for that price... or a Lincoln.
Chevy needs to bring back the 2dr Tahoe with a 6.2 engine big wheels n brakes leather guts and roof they will def see sales again n that
IT'S TANKS LIKE THIS THAT WE GO TO WAR FOR OIL.
the only people i see driving these tanks are short housewives that can barely see over the wheel. Driving with a bunch of loud welfare kids and texting the same time.
Hey Roman and Nathan, Please do a off road, snow performance review of 2014 Toyota Highlander. I've been waiting for your review before I buy it for my wife..
They SHOULD build it with a 3.0 turbo diesel with 420 foot pound of torque for the same price. Then it would truly be in competition with the long wheelbase $100,000 diesel Range Rover. Also, the diesel is going to give you about TWICE the engine life and around 40 mpg.
No one cares about the hp or 0-60 speed! This is a damn full size SUV. If I wanted hp and the ability to go fast I would buy a sportscar. I NEED good mpg, in a full size SUV your going to get bad mpg anyways, you would need every mile per gallon you could get. Is it worth the extra 5k, maybe if you want more chrome, and more interior wood trim, but other than that, the Tahoe ltz or Yukon SLT would be a better pick.
I think it is definitely overpriced..... However, this is still a true V8 body on frame SUV that can handle a heavy trailer.... Especially since everyone is going to V6's and unibody construction.....
$75k??? Woah! This thing is a bailout waiting to happen! Lmao. In general middle class families buy these vehicles. They won't be able to afford them if the price continues to increase this dramatically. Last year you could buy a Yukon Denali XL awd for just under $63k. I wonder if they even care about sales anymore?
I can't say this enough! whats up with all of the new GM vehicle's bumpers silverado, sierra, and now these?!?! Where the hell is the ground clearance? I get it, fuel economy, but who gives a shit. They are supposed to be able to go offroad and do truck things, not one cares about 0.1 mpg better. When you build a truck or large SUV give it some ground clearance for God sake. I guess they are pussying up their cars just like their gay commercials, Politically correct, pussification of America.
Test drove it. We are getting the Lincoln Navigator after driving the Yukons and Tahoes. Visually I thought the Yukon and Tahoe was nice inside and out. Rear seat is not good for bigger kids or adults in the Yukon or Tahoe where the Navigator definitely does. The floor height is cramped with the solid rear axle underneath in the Yukon and Tahoe, where in the Navigator your feet are not cramped because the Navigator has rear independent suspension. The Yukon and Tahoe doesn't have independent rear suspension so when you drive you notice that the vehicle doesn't have as good of a ride as the Navigator. Steering the Yukon and Tahoe took way more work but I did like the thick steering wheel where the Navigator steered effortlessly. Gas pedal on the Small V8 is so restricted to try and get good gas mileage. The 6.2 was well powered and didn't have the same lethargic gas pedal but on the Lincoln Navigator the throttle response was not just amazing but powerful across a larger power-band. I don't think the 6.2 would win zero to 60 nor do I think the 6.2 could out pull a full trailer as well.
:-) Funny. Just my honest opinion after test driving all the full size options. Go test drive the 2015 Lincoln. I'm definitely not disappointed. My wife is the one choosing. Its for her. She likes all of the 2015. But likes the Lincoln more based upon the obvious after driving all of them.
I'm not saying last years Lincoln Navigator or its predecessors were great. All I'm saying is we like this years better in comparison to the other 2015 full size SUV's. Go drive one then let me know. I'm not basing my opinion on last year or any other years product. Just the one we just took a look at.
I'm more of a Lexus LX type of guy,BUT I must say that the Navigators are UGLY.I saw the review,it just doesn't measure up,but like any ugly vehicle out there "Somebody's bound to buy it".
You sound like a one party politician. I'm not a crowd follower. I prefer freedom to choose by driving the product. You sound like you would buy anything made by GMC. Where I would buy a GMC like a Corvette after driving it because they are simply awesome. Not because everyone else thinks their awesome from past years. The Lincoln rides better, steers better, and is more responsive when you get on the throttle, and it is more capable for towing. It has 440 lbs feet of torque. You obviously have not gone to a lot and driven one.
You sound stressed! Hope you have a better day :-)
chevy way better
$75000 for a GM SUV?
I'd rather spend more and buy a LEXUS LX 570.
Why? It has 37 less hp, has a 1500 lbs less tow rating, is almost 700lbs heavier, gets 4 mpg less highway. The GMC also has more cargo space, and I probable don't have to mention that the Lexus is slower, but it is. Plus the GMC's MSRP is like 7k less. You make it seam like the Lexus should be a no brainer, when clearly at a minimum the GMC is a worthy comparison shop.
You forgot that is not a Toyota :D
BoberMcBoberson This also has more features. not mention the fast that the lexus is butt-ugly. Actually, a butt looks prettier than it.
Torque is a STATIC force. It has no time which means it is not a measure of work... It's a measure of force. Horsepower is what matters as it's force over time, aka WORK DONE. more torque means more hp at lower rpm. Horsepower = (engine torque X rpm)/5252
That is way to expensive. $75,000 for a Yukon?!?! Yeah yeah its the Denali version I don't give a crap what version it is. What happened to the time when a expensive SUV was $40,000? They need to get slapped in the face for charging that much.
Is that a big dent in the side rear bumper of the car at the end of the video ????
it does at 8:36
H3N Its a shadow from a tree
Da best truck in the world is the GMC denali yukon 2019 goes fast yo my favorite truck GMC denali gold............$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
This car is fast
I actually really like it. It looks and is just better overall than the Tahoe and Suburban. Not to mention that GMC is more prestigious than Chevy. The only ugly SUV of this generation is the Tahoe. The Yukon and Escalade are beautiful. Nothing more American than a big ass engine in a big ass SUV/Truck.
Guess what. I want to tell them that suv is not for racing or something that for looks nice suv is fir someone wants big family size car. I will rather get suburban. That is just totally waste of money. It's just showing that I'm rich and I'm goldendigger this is stupid. Suburban go t better gas milage. And more space. Paying more money for size of tahoe, fast, and better look? Nah just stupid suv is for comfort if family size car if you want speed how about get Mustang with that money if you want to have good looking get Cadillac sedan that's totally waste of money
If others are like me I look at the MPG first. These big trucks should all be running V6 Turbo diesels. The auto makers have the technology. Funny how we are just coming around in America to understand that we need to change our ways of living and stop driving trucks like these although there is such an appeal for this high riding and comfortable vehicle. You feel safe in it. We don't need it we want it.
"buttery leather" lol. Total piece of gaudy shit. I just rented one of these because the car I reserved hadn't been returned. GM's target audience is clearly the unsophisticated who think a big price tag, shiny chrome, massive size, and a loud exhaust connote an image of success. In reality, the buyers have no class. These hunks of garbage are not elegant.
All these "reviews" are the same. 0-60.. "Buy it/Lease it/Rent it - I DONT KNOW I've only driven it a little we'll do more reviews later okay bye!"
You know how the 6.2L V8 is out of the GMC Sierra? Well, isn't it the same engine in the Camaro SS and 2015 Caddillac Esclade?
blackandgold51 I'm glad your 90 is still running strong! Proof that these SUVs are tough, why do u think the new ones can't compete? They have more power, faster more comfortable, and have all the bells and whistles available on lux sedans the best of both worlds!
Just a pretty truck, im disappointed on the tahoe and this truck as well, Gm did a crappy job on the design the 3rd row is still useless in these trucks. Notice how they never show someone sitting in the back. Well, thats because a normal size adult doesnt fit. So you pay 75k for a huge vehicle that can carry only 4 people in comfort.
What I find funny is how people go on commenting on how Gmc/Chevy will last longer that's actually factually false under tre same conditions ford/Lincoln lasts longer I personally know a friend who owned nothing but GM cars had a escalade a Denali yukon corvette and ctsv and had nothing but electrical problems and they rusted out way faster than his current navigator raptor and mustang gt on record ford and Lincoln have less racalls breakdowns/malfunctions than GM and they didn't even have to take bailout money and the interior in the yukon is dated just like the corvette and any other line that GM has except Cadillac ford last generation truck even looks better than gms 2015 interior the 2015 blows it out o the water then stalk about techanokgu ford has already came out with the stuff that GM is putting out I you want to say the engine is better Chevys have always been known to overheat I will give it to them they don't use as much oil as ford and sometimes are more fuel efficient but definitely not as reliable unless you baby it like an old man
Nice, but I don't like that certain grill, I like the other grill, much more truck like and why they keep saying it can seat 8 to 9 people? They do that with every big suv, how the hell is it going to seat 9 people. By my calculations there is 3 back seats, 2 captain seats in the middle and 2 front row seats. Which equals 7 seats total unless u get bench seats for second row but that would mean it only seat 8 not 9. Very misleading when they keep saying that, I do prefer bench seats tho because the more the merrier.
Little tip, be quiet when you're doing the 0-60 run. No one wants to hear you talk, we want to hear the motor. And what is with everyone doing 0-60 times, as if it's an actual gauge of how fast a vehicle is. The true and ultimate determinant is and always has been 1/4 mile times.
The Denali has better styling than it's siblings. Cadillac just screams bling. I noticed the cargo load floor is pretty high, around above waist level. And it's like 3 inches higher than the rear bumper.
The price is out of reach for the majority . I love to support North American made but the gap has widened so much that GM is opening the door wider for imports that already have a larger share of domestic market. Detroit's downfall was the economics couldn't sustain Union workers constant increase in wages . This just typifies that same train of thought. North America has to compete more realistically and build more affordable ,quality product and turn things around for all concerned not just the rich customers.
I think you're seeing more of an inflation issue, along with rising healthcare costs and wages. I know the profit margin of these rigs are insane, but they always have been....it's not just a simple factor of manufacturers raising prices because they want to.
This is the top of the line version. You can get one for 1/2 the price, just much fewer frills. And it's price is still cheaper than other luxury SUVs in it's same class, so your thoughts on Detroit are 100% wrong. Sorry.
Scott Wilkins No problem Scott. Then what exactly did happen to Detroit's Auto Industry ? I realize the off shore competition came along but would that shut down Detroit's car plants with better gas efficiency autos . What are your thought on Detroit ? thanks
GILLEBRATH Detroit definitely went through a slump. That slump's over and done with, has been for almost a decade. Have you been under a rock? GM has come back with the top rated cars in almost every category. Even the Japanese loving Consumer Report rated a Chevy as #1 this year. Wake up and look around. GM, Ford and Dodge are kicking ass and taking names!
I would prefer to buy a lexus over this overpriced junk. Yeah it's a new denali, but still can't charge 75k for this. GMC has failed.
I wonder how the 3rd row is for leg room. If they kept it similar to previous gen i can't imagine anyone wanting one. My uncle had an expedition that had 10 times better 3rd row leg room. My mom test drove a last gen model tahoe and couldn't sit in the back seat because there was no legroom and she is 5' 2". This coming from a huge gm fan
That trunk lip bump-up thing is so primitive. It looks so freakin hideous. What the hell GM? Lots of questionable decisions on this one...
There are some things in life I just don't understand. One of them is why GM didn't give this yukon the sierra front clip. This could have been a badass looking truck, but instead, it seems their goal was to grace it with the likes of a hippopotamus
imo, the suburban has a slightly better fuel economy...
i like both yukon & suburban
but i would stay away from the bigger motors if u don't mind filler up every week lol
those bigger motors is more preferable for towing purposes...
Need me too explain where this fits in bro.. How do i say BOSS hah but seriously though it is and ughh alot of rich wives in surrounding suburbs thay cant drive the husbands range rover or just do not want one or a ML or GL or G or... porsche right in that area or just guys like me...
Honestly i gotta say that that is a great looking suv, but for 75000 that is really overpriced. I don't know what gm is doing but lately a lot of there cars and trucks are getting more costly. And for me a millennial i rather have more bang for less buck.
the SUV is new but price will drop with incentives at the end of the year for sure.
