2015 GMC Yukon Denali XL 4WD SUV Review - Wheels.ca
At more than 18 feet long (224. 3 in), 74. 4 in height and 80. 5 in width, the Denali XL is just about as big as it gets and is aimed at buyers who need big towing, big cargo, big utility, and in the case of the Denali — big luxury. Based on GM’s full size pickup trucks, the Denali XL is joined by the Chevrolet Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade ESV in covering all the price and option bases in this class. In the GM premium luxury SUV price walk, the Yukon Denali fits nicely between the Chev and Caddy and the GMC comes in two models, the Yukon and the Yukon Denali. Regular readers with long memories will recall I drove a similar Denali prior to Christmas 2014 which, like the rest of GM’s big SUVs, was equipped with the long-serving six-speed automatic. As big as the towing numbers are, it’s the cargo/passenger volume that sets the Denali XL apart, with cargo volume behind the Denali third row seat at 1,102 litres. With the third row folded, volume is 2,171 litres with no less than 3,430 litres behind the first row. As for passenger numbers, the Denali seats seven but on other Yukons there is a second row bench for eight, and on the base SLE, a front bench making seats for nine. Source: www.wheels.ca
