The 2025 GMC Yukon XL Denali is built for those who want both utility and upscale refinement in a large SUV. Stretching to XL proportions, it offers substantially more cargo space and legroom, making it ideal for big families, long trips, or hauling gear. Under the hood, its standard 6.2‑liter EcoTec3 V8 delivers about 420 horsepower and 460 lb‑ft of torque, paired with a smooth 10‑speed automatic transmission.
Inside, the Denali trim lifts the experience with premium materials, sophisticated design updates, and the latest in‑vehicle tech. A large 16.8‑inch vertical touchscreen serves as the infotainment centerpiece, with features like Google built‑in, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and optional second‑row entertainment. It also offers seating for up to 8 (or 7 with captain’s chairs), a refined ride (especially with optional air suspension), and modern driver assistance tech. While fuel economy takes a hit due to its size and power, its capability, comfort, and presence are standout.
