Yukon Denali offers the ultimate in elegance. Its well-appointed interior is rich with features and amenities that cater to the needs of everyone on board. It adds that sophistication to a fully capable, full-size SUV that stands out from the crowd. Denali's distinctive grille, bodyside mouldings, running boards, 17" polished aluminum wheels and powerful 325 hp Vortec 6000 V8 engine definitely make a statement. It gives full-size SUV shoppers a luxury alternative to the more overstated Cadillac Escalade. It is styled more conventionally than the Escalade, so some buyers may be more comfortable with its traditional appearance. Denali and Denali XL are upscale versions of the Yukon.
