The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and the Cadillac Escalade account for 50% of all large SUV sales in the US. GM makes 340,000 of them every year and exports about 80,000 to 31 countries. They’re made in GM’s plant in Arlington, Texas, which is said to be the most profitable assembly plant in the world. We estimate they generate $20 billion in revenue for GM and about $4 billion in profits. Autoline Daily.
Lol why does every reviewer insist on flipping the second row chairs via the straps? There’s a whole button for this on the pillar!! They are power operated!!
My dick has gained at least an inch in length, I’m feeling younger and certainly more muscular driving this thing, or at least that what’s my wife tells me who typically drives this thing to the mall, because she need at least 5800lbs to take her 130 lbs to and fro.
"DENALI BRAND OUTEARNS LAND ROVER Wow, who knew? A report from JP Morgan says that GMC’s Denali sub-brand generates $6.4 billion in revenue. That’s more than Land Rover and close to Audi. And we’re just talking about a trim line, not the entire GMC lineup. So now Buick wants a piece of that action. It’s launching its own sub-brand, called Avenir, just like that show car that generated so much attention. Buick sees an opportunity to appeal to customers who will to pay more for a higher trim level. But it’s not building that show car. Instead, Avenir branded vehicles will get bolder mesh grilles, bigger wheels and special Avenir badging. Buick says three global models will get the Avenir treatment within next year." Autoline
I think all the Yukon should have the same interior as the Denali to differentiate it form the Tahoe/Suburban and the gauge cluster should be fully digital in the Denali
I like that it’s quiet.. I see the dual exhaust concept and sound expectation but I’m glad it is subtle. Btw.. they are available at a huge premium in most cases and not a lot of selection. Only Denali’s for the most part. Good luck getting a nice SLT or decent SLE
uuuu260 Because they go after different markets with the different sub brands. Cadillac goes after Mercedes and Lincoln, GMC goes after the Audis and Infinitis, and Chevy goes after the Fords and Dodges. Market research shows that people don’t cross shop between the GM brands so it really does work out for them.
GM is terribly afraid of hybrids. They canceled the only one they sold (Volt) recently. Fortunately Ford/Lincoln has a hybrid SUV, which gets decent mpg for how insanely heavy they are! Aviator plug-in hybrid or Explorer hybrid
This is not the most luxurious SUV From the GM Lineup, It's definitely the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, The Escalade even has a OLED display and the interior is much more better looking and the overall look is better than this GMC
Most more "reasonably priced" SUVs have seats that tilt, so you don't need to tumble the entire chair when trying to get out of the 3rd row. GM picked a typical cheap design. Fun video. very cool and informative!
Of the two I drive for work on a regular basis (2017 ford expedition ecoboost and 2020 suburban) I would take the ford for handling and acceleration any day. For reliability overall, ignoring all the little things that normally fail about the interior on gm vehicles, I'd take the suburban. It will be interesting to see if this suffers the same rear control arm bushing problem as the fords in the long run.
@@insayn7995 Well, they didn't change enough between the 2013 and the 2017 model expedition to get rid of the serious hazards caused by the rear end violently swinging to one side or the other from the bushings wearing out. If Chevy does something similar with their irs setup, it's going to be on hell of a nasty handling vehicle for the used market.
GM wants you to believe that Tahoe, this and the Escalade are substantially different, they are not. I missed the comparison with stablemates from this review.
RAM AIR IV Exactly!!! Plus the Denali and Escalade have the same amount of luxury from the mid row seats on back. I bought a fully loaded 2020 Denali back in March for $65k. It has the same smoth 6.2 liter and 10 speed. To me that’s the bigger steal until discounts can be had in a year or so on these.
Great review! Love this guy. The dash is way too high. The outside is a shoe box, like all GM SUVs. The interior is ok. The telematics are good. Very surprising. Still, price/reliability/resell wise, I'd get a Toyota Land Cruiser.
@@barrygoldwasser5449 Yes McDonald’s Frys are 10 times better then the In-Out . For real I prefer McDonald’s any day over in-n-out. There burgers are OK but nothing great. Now if you said that 5Guys then that would be another story
@@ers1027 I rather doubt I'd enjoy it. I prefer cars that are a bit more refined. Saabs for example. I can't remotely imagine any justification for a 10 speed auto box. Indeed I truly loathe auto transmissions.
@@pasoundman How are they not refined? These new Autos shift like a buttery smooth DCT. Extra two gears are for fuel economy, wouldn't be getting 17 MPG out if a massive 7 and half ton SUV otherwise.
83,000 USD ?? WTF check how much it cost in EU !! this is such a shame your USA country puts so much TAX on this car, here basic price for GMC Yukon 6.2 XL Denali Ultimate Air 4WD is 120,00 but EUR not USD which is 135.000 USD !
Dear followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep your money safe.!!!Share so more people don't get screwed.
This one is now too big for my garage layout - will have to stay with my older one. Adaptive cruise control optional? - what a rip-off! Zero real world improvement in mpg & emissions? - disgusting! ugh!
The interior hasn't improved in size and comfort. They went back to the size in the 00-06 models and stopped trying to be Ford with the super cramped third row.
You obviously haven’t experienced it at all it has tons of leg room if you want more just get an XL. I mean drove the new one and it’s spacious for me and comfortable.
You shouldn't review anything bigger than small cars. You talk about this truck like its a semi. This is no different than a full sized pickup. The dancing at the end pretty much sums up your truck knowledge.
they are garbage, how much will this cost? 100k? I paid 80k for my 2016 and at 50 miles the transmission will fail, see the other videos related to the power converter !! The same thing happens to everyone and they are spending thousands of dollars to fix the problem, and GMC has not fixed the problem since 2015 !!!
I love Craig. He's so hilarious. His sarcasm is one point all the time. His reviews are always a joy to watch.
So true! More than the chick and the sleepy one
So nobody laughed when he fell out the back seat lol. I just subscribed bro. Very enjoyable review
I did, 'cause I know his pain.
It was unexpected and funny.
🤣
I’m cracking up!
Glad he’s ok!
This was one of the best reviews I have watched in awhile. He covered every aspect of the Yukon. This review was awesome
Love the 3rd row. Only took them a few decades

Omg I thought this same thing!!!! They’ve had that since the 2007 model year
Hello, nice video, love the new Denali..!
Can I ask how tall are you..?
I hit the like button as soon as I saw the dramatic fall from the back seat lol Great review!
6:20 - Yep, yep, yep. Someone's been following me around and watching my every move! 😂
I love the fact its quiet. I want a luxury vehicle not a sports car
when will the Diesel engine be available in dealership for sale
Next year
Cylinder Deactivation on the 6.2L?
That Yukon Denali looks better than the Escalade how about that over the Escalade any day
@ Steven Ellington Pal Soccer Moms dont care ! They will be the ones driving these !
@@thunderbolt5354 😳 really
Are you out of your mind, you don't what's the real luxury if you think the GMC Yukon is better than the Cadillac Escalade
The front looks better not the rest of the car
Exterior wise, the Yukon does look better than the Escalade imo.
A full digital dash would be nice, apart from that it looks really good!
Then buy the buy the new Escalade for its full OLED dash.
I don’t like full digital dashes. But that’s just a preference
@@FullOfMalarky same here
Digital dash was added for the 2022 model year. Those will be at dealers most likely in early 2022
The Exterior looks much better than the new Cadillac
Needs bigger grill! That thing is tiny!
lol 😂

I didn't even see until you mentioned it
Amazing when you think the Palisade is a Large 3 row until you compare this side by side. These are Great Towing, and off road vehicles.
Doesn’t need exhaust rumble 😮

100% agree. And they should add the augmented reality nav to the digital dash like in the Escalade, then the Denali would be perfect.
The dance at the end was too good
Craig, you’re the best!
I wonder if it has any mutlicolor ambient lighting
Did they finally replace those really uncomfortable front seats in the old Denali?
ERIC LIGHT it figures
Actually the new seats are worse than older seats
I like that it’s quiet.. I see the dual exhaust concept and sound expectation but I’m glad it is subtle. Btw.. they are available at a huge premium in most cases and not a lot of selection. Only Denali’s for the most part. Good luck getting a nice SLT or decent SLE
There's also a GMC yukon dinale here in Philippines?
Really good review. The fall out of the back seat made me spit out my drink man lol.
If one can dance inside the Yukon Denali, that would be awesome. Great review.
Why does GM make a bunch of very similar full size suvs under different sub brands all around the same price points?? That never made sense to me
Because you don't have brand to sell wouldn't expect you to understand.
Brian Daniel What’s your explanation for it then
uuuu260 Because they go after different markets with the different sub brands. Cadillac goes after Mercedes and Lincoln, GMC goes after the Audis and Infinitis, and Chevy goes after the Fords and Dodges.

Joshua Rodrique wow I didn’t know that, thanks. I always wondered why
anyone knows - you exit the same way you climbed in - in this case, backwards... like going down a ladder on a ship...
Just ordered this exact one this week.
Congrats! Great choice, can’t go wrong with a Denali.
@ David Anderson Too Bad Your Soccer Mom Wife will be the only One driving this Land Yaught !

@@davidanderson3420 Damn Must be Nice !
You have a new video that you made yesterday on the 2021 Toyota sienna minivan. Can you post that video?
is that the dark ash interior?
That’s a good spot to put my Gun
20-30kw PHEV version would offset those MPG number big time!
GM is terribly afraid of hybrids. They canceled the only one they sold (Volt) recently. Fortunately Ford/Lincoln has a hybrid SUV, which gets decent mpg for how insanely heavy they are! Aviator plug-in hybrid or Explorer hybrid
Part when you fell getting out the back seat 😂
So In other words, it still feels like a truck as far as ride quality, but a smooth truck?
Simply the most luxurious capable vehicle in America for sale today. Will last 20 years easy and beautiful engine and transmission.
This is not the most luxurious SUV From the GM Lineup, It's definitely the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, The Escalade even has a OLED display and the interior is much more better looking and the overall look is better than this GMC
@@georgeporscheguy3240 In Your Opinion, It looks better. Clearly, not everyone feels that way.

It actually has a power fold button on c-pillar to facilitate best ingress but he didn’t demonstrate it
With the automatic folding up it make the Yukon the easiest & Whitest opening to get out a third row
I love the center console feature too
Great review
That massive grille seems not match with overall ageing body design.
He looks like Captain America before the steroids.
Needs a digital dash and better seats.
Seats are amazing. I have the Denali and it’s full genuine premium leather with great stitching . Video doesn’t do it justice
I live in the UK and we need this car over here.

The new Denali is a poor value compared to the new Escalade
The Caddy starts under $80k and has a class above interior
This is a poor buy above $75k
The dealer discounts will probably be better on the Yukons though
GM wants you to believe that Tahoe, this and the Escalade are substantially different, they are not. I missed the comparison with stablemates from this review.
@@David_Journey the Escalade has an entirely different interior, but the Tahoe and yukon are closely related

It’s a luxury suv not a hot rod 😅
What a ridiculously large radiator grille and high hood line ! It looks as if you'd need a ladder to get into it too.
My only gripe is that the grille isn’t bold and large enough.
Reviewer: it's way too quiet!!! 😩
Rolls Royce: Hold my sound deadening!! 🤣
Air ride ? Service techs will luv this suv.
You’re awesome, very well, well review
Gonna need a bigger Garage!

Thanks, Craig, I definitely won't be buying one of these thanks to your review.
I like the overall redesign but I miss the old column shifter

OMG, a Riverdance star in the making..😂😎
Craig is funny as hell!
It's nice to see some one else that has problems with the back seat exits. It's hard Not to do a Nose plant.
$80k... I'll take a lightly used one after a year for around $52k thanks
Good luck with that! 👍🏽🤣 a 2018 Denali is over 50K now!

It wouldn’t have been hard to be better than the last one. Rental car quality, especially inside.
front seats are too narrow.. :/

That grill is like a small billboard.
It just needs a "This Space For Rent " sign.
