GMC has announced enhancements for the 2018 GMC Yukon Denali, emphasizing its status as a luxurious, full-sized SUV. One of the most striking updates is the revamped grille, designed to improve airflow to the radiator. This new chrome grille will feature active aero shutters that optimize efficiency by closing at highway speeds to reduce drag.
Inside the vehicle, customers can now choose real wood trim, along with other subtle interior modifications. Despite these upgrades, the GMC Yukon Denali will maintain a more understated look compared to its rival, the Cadillac Escalade.
The standout improvement for the Yukon Denali is the introduction of a sophisticated 10-speed automatic transmission, developed collaboratively by Ford and GM. This transmission, which is already utilized in the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, is anticipated to enhance both performance and fuel efficiency.
The 2018 GMC Yukon Denali will continue to be powered by a robust 6.2-liter V8 engine, delivering 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. According to GM, the updated model is expected to hit the market this fall..
