2019 GMC Terrain - Review & Road Test
Kelley Blue Book:
Do you have to be a flannel-clad
lumberjack named Buck to review
something called the GMC Terrain Denali?
No. This second-generation Terrain is
entirely reimagined starting with an all
four-cylinder engine lineup. Bye-bye 3.6-liter
V6. Both the 1.5 and optional
2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder
engines come standard with GM's nine-
speed automatic transmission. There's
also a 1.6-liter turbo diesel hitched to
a 6-speed auto. The Denali has the
beefier 2.0 liter engine, and it's really
quick to the tune of 252 horsepower and
260 lb ft of torque. Even up steep
hills the Terrain accelerates when I
want it to with minimal turbo lag. Gutsy.
I've actually driven the SLE model, too,
and while it's not as exciting as the
larger displacement engine, it's a
genuinely fun driving experience, even on
its high volume 17 inch tires and with
front-wheel drive. The 1.6-liter turbo
diesel get you even less power with
137 horses and
240 lb ft of torque,
but the 38 mpg dividend
might be worth it. Major pet peeve, GMC
does not allow people to shut off the
automatic start/stop feature.
The steering has a nice touch. It's
responsive and surprisingly sporty
feeling, but the all new architecture it
rides on might be the most impressive
thing on this Terrain redo. It's three
inches shorter and has a 34% stiffer
structure compared to the outgoing model.
What that means for the driver is better
ride quality, improved handling, better
maneuverability, especially on winding
mountain roads, and significantly less
body roll mid turn. I think Buck,
were he here, would agree that they were
successful.
You know with that stiffer suspension the
terrain drives a little bit more like a
truck than most SUVs, but it's still
really comfortable, which is a really
nice combination. Makes me feel like I'm
off-roading.
This fancy and well outfitted Denali
trim looks really great from a
distance, a rugged looker. But you get a
little bit closer and okay maybe I'm
nitpicking a bit here, but it gets a
little busy especially from the front
end.
It's muscular and assertive but there are
a lot of lines and creases and the heavily
chromed out front grille, especially this
Denali specific version, add up to a lot
of eyeball food. The back end of the car
is more of an exercise in restraint, but
it's still got some interest to it. I
especially like the sporty looking dual
exhausts on the all-wheel-drive versions.
Put the 19-inch wheels on the Terrain
and this is a genuinely good-looking
ride. I have to say though the more I see
this floating roofline fad the more I'm
ready for it to be over. If this whole
section actually improved visibility
then it would make sense but it really
doesn't. I'm ready to move on, so let's.
The redesigned interior is nicely
finished. A leather wrap steering wheel
and the real aluminum trim are great to
see, and while some of the faux wood
grain options are more believable than
others the overall look is upscale. In
the lower trims though you can expect
more plastic less leather and hey,
where's the auto up on the passenger
side window? The reimagined center stack
and console are a lot less cluttered
thanks in part to this push-button
shifter. The jury is totally out for me
on whether it's okay or not. I'm not used
to it so maybe it just takes a little
more time. What it did do however was
clear up some room for some space like
this through and through cubby. It's
pretty cool. Also east/west coffee cup
holders to eliminate coffee confusion.
Yeah, that is a thing. Depending on trim
you'll get a seven- or eight-inch
touchscreen. GMC's interface is cleanly
arranged and allows owners to add a
range of apps like The Weather Channel
or news from People magazine. The system
also offers over-the-air updates. Depending on when you're watching this
the Terrain may have added a new feature.
It's not here yet so you get to watch me when I explain it to you.
It's called marketplace and it's a
platform that allows you to buy goods
and services from places like fast food
restaurants or gas stations through your
car. I'm not exactly sure how many people
are gonna use it, and hopefully you
actually have your wallet with you, you
know, because your driver's license.
Regardless of cloth or leather the front
bucket seats are supportive and
comfortable, so are the rear seat. There's
decent recline, but uses the
contortionist only mechanism, and even
the person who draws the short straw and
ends up in the middle has decent legroom
because there isn't a camel hump right
here. Cargo space is mid-pack among its
myriad competitors including the larger
capacity CRV and the left capacious Jeep
Cherokee, also there's the Chevy Equinox,
the Ford Escape, Mazda's CX-5, the Kia
Sportage, Subaru's Forester. I've got to
stop there because we're all getting old. The rear seats go down super easy and
nice and flat, and there's really nice
trunk space under here right above the
spare, but proceed with caution
because this thing bit me and drew blood.
It's sharp! The base-level SL terrain starts just
under $26,000 including destination and
gets you a leather-wrapped steering
wheel, a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot,
hill descent control, and rear seat
reminders so you don't leave anything
important in the car. The Denali base
price is just under $40,000, destination
charge included, and that gets you rear
parking assist, that 360 camera which is
amazing, navigation, LED headlamps and a
Bose audio system. This tester with added
goodies like skyscape sunroof and
advanced safety and comfort packages
comes with a price tag that's around
$4,500 higher
GMC put a lot of thought into the Terrain, and it really pays off.
Certainly, they put more thought into
this than I did my choice of shirt today.
It's been 90 degrees all day and I'm wearing
flannel, genius. Clearly for today the GMC
Terrain is the smarter choice.
2019 Chevrolet Traverse Review: A Roomy 3-Row Family SUV
Edmunds:
SPEAKER 1: We've
been talking a lot
about vehicles that are good for
families with young children.
The Honda Pilot comes
to mind is one that's
particularly baby friendly.
But kids grow up, and
families with teens
have different car needs.
The 2019 Chevy Traverse
promises cargo space and a more
grown up approach
to the midsize SUV.
Will it do its chores without
being reminded seven times?
Let's find out.
First, a very
important question.
Does it do a burnout?
No.
A little bit.
All right.
The Traverse does a burnout
if you start on gravel.
Today's midsize SUV as are like
minivans in flannel shirts--
they're trying to
look more macho.
The Traverse was
redesigned in 2018,
and I think Chevy
did a good job.
It's boxy, kind of
aggressive, but not boring.
I recently reviewed
the Kia Sorento,
and in the comments
on that video,
I got scolded by Kia
Sorento for saying
that the Kia wasn't sporty.
That made me realize, OK,
sportiness is subjective.
I mean, it all depends on
what you were driving before.
So OK, mid-sized SUVs are
sporty in the same way
that bowling is sporty.
And now, you can all be mad
at me for dissing bowling.
But what I mean is it's not the
same as a Miata or a Corvette.
It's specifically designed
to be a softer ride,
and to be more gentle and quiet.
To me, that's not sporty.
That said, the Traverse has
a pretty zippy 3.6 liter
V8, making 310
horsepower, and backed
by a nine speed
automatic transmission.
It has noticeably
more passing power
than most of the
crossovers I've been in.
It's good the V6 is
such a solid engine,
because there really
aren't any others
that you can choose from.
Well, that's not true.
There is the RS trim, which
comes with a turbo charged
four cylinder, and it gets a
little bit better gas mileage.
But honestly, the V6
gets 20 miles per gallon,
and that's right on par with the
rest of the SUVs in this class.
On the highway around town, the
Traverse has an excellent ride.
It's very comfortable,
it's very predictable.
And it's very quiet.
For more spirit and driving like
on this curvy mountain road,
well, it's not the car
I would choose for fun,
but I feel perfectly safe.
Like I said, this
isn't what it's for.
Safety is obviously
a major consideration
when you're buying a vehicle to
haul your whole family around
in.
This Traverse, the High Country,
has everything you'd need.
Lane change assist,
and lane keep assist,
and pedestrian warning,
emergency braking,
adaptive cruise control.
All the things, but you
can't even option them up
on the lower trim models.
And I think when a lot of
the competitors like Honda
and Toyota and Kia are
offering that stuff as standard
all the way up and
down the trim levels,
Chevy ought to get
with the program.
Stop being so stingy.
The Traverse isn't
intended to be primarily
an off road or tow vehicle,
but it's capable of both
if you option for the all
wheel drive and tow package.
The controls for that
are in this mode dial
down here by the shifter.
And you can go two wheel drive,
all wheel drive, the off road
setting, and a
tow setting, which
I think changes shift points.
The dial is a different
approach to all wheel drive
than some of the competitors in
this sort of front wheel drive
midsize segment,
because usually, they
do it as a sort of
automatic all wheel drive.
Like, it just senses
if there's wheel slip,
and moves from front wheel
drive to all wheel drive
for as long as you need it.
But Chevy has sort of giving
you more control as the driver.
We tend to talk about
the infotainment systems
in these reviews while we're
parked, which is fine if you
think ahead, and are ready.
But a lot of times,
you're on the road,
and then you're like, oh
crap, did I plug my phone in.
And I don't want to
listen to this anymore.
And it's always
interesting to see
how hard it is to
figure out these systems
while you're driving, which
I guess you're not really
supposed to be doing, but
you know that you are.
Anyhow, it's easy
to plug a phone in.
It doesn't matter which
USB you plug into.
Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
will work from either one.
And everything in the screen
is reachable and visible
while you're driving
without having to look away
from the road for very long.
The steering wheel controls
aren't quite as easy.
I don't like the adaptive
cruise control at all.
I can barely figure
out how to turn it on
and I have a hard time
knowing when it's on.
It just doesn't show
very much in the dash.
It's great that the Traverse is
so big and roomy on the inside,
but it's also very
big on the outside.
And with some pretty
substantial blind spots,
that can make
parking intimidating.
Luckily, there's some
tech that makes it easier.
There's a rear view camera,
and a 360 degree camera
so you can see everything
that surrounds you.
There's also a pretty
nifty little camera here
in the rear view.
Mirror and rear sensor
to tell you when
you're getting close to stuff.
Let's see how it works.
Going backwards in
a straight line,
not going to hit anything today.
Parked.
Success.
OK, so Traverse is great
at backing into spots.
But what about
pulling into a spot?
You know, it's got
a pretty long hood,
and I can't really
see the end of it.
I can still use the
camera, that's great.
No parking sensors in the front?
What the what?
Earlier, I said
that the Traverse
was a really good choice for
parents with teenage children.
One of the reasons I said that
is the Traverse has something
called Teen Driver,
a monitoring system
for when your kid takes the car.
It's not like valet mode,
where it limits them
to first gear or 30 miles an
hour or something like that.
I mean, you can drive normally.
But it gives a report card at
the end that you can go over
with your kid, and talk about,
Oh, what was their top speed,
and did any of the
traction aides come on.
Was there any emergency braking.
And so it can kind
of help you help
them to improve their
driving without you
having to be in the car.
Oh, it also prevents them
from turning on the radio
until their seatbelts are on.
The Traverse has a
tough guy exterior,
but inside, it's
surprisingly soft.
The steering wheel
is pretty squishy,
it has a lot of leather
trim on most of the spots
that you're going to touch.
And overall, it's
pretty luxurious.
Now bear in mind, we're
in the High Country
trim, which is the top
of the line Traverse.
So as you go down
in the trim levels,
you won't have all
of this luxury.
Traverse come standard with
a seven inch touchscreen,
and we have the optional
eight inch here.
There are plenty of storage
cubbies and a nice big console.
And so many options
for charging a phone.
From front to back, I
counted 10 different ways
that you could plug-in and
charge a phone, or a tablet,
or something similar.
And that's including USB
ports 12 volts AC adapter.
There's even a hidden charging
spot behind the screen in case
you're a spy, and you have
like, a secret burner phone
or something.
I don't know.
The point is, there
are enough spots
for everyone in the car to
charge their phones and then
some.
Noticing all the
places to charge
your phone was sort of
what made me think, man,
this would be a
really good vehicle
for somebody with teenagers.
Because you know, little kids
might use the dropdown screen
or whatever, but big kids tend
to bring their entertainment
with them.
And I just feel like Chevy
is thinking about that.
You know, they have
a lot of leg room,
and there's a lot
of charging spots.
And there's sort of
a lot of privacy.
Like, they could sit all the
way in the back and sort of feel
like they weren't stuck
right up with mom and dad.
There's plenty of room in
the front of the Traverse.
There's a lot of space between
the driver and the passenger,
and between the
driver and the door.
The seats however, are
a little bit narrow.
And there's actually
a big gap here.
And if you are broader,
you might feel a little bit
cramped.
They're also very firm.
Which is fine.
Some people like a firm seat.
Me, if I'm driving in
a big SUV, I kind of
want to feel like I'm
in a barcalounger.
So I wouldn't mind if
they were a little softer.
They are heated though,
and that makes up for it.
One thing Chevy did really
well in the Traverses
give it this bright
airy feeling.
It's really nice and light
all the way from the front
to the back of the car.
I hate it when you
get into these SUV
and it's just all
black plastic and you
feel like you're in sort of
a terrible cave of misery.
The Traverse doesn't
feel like that.
It's really bright.
Some of that might be
from the twin sunroof
on this car, which is
standard on the High Country,
but you can option it on
some of the lower levels.
Hurray for second rows
with plenty of space.
There's foot room, there's knee
room, there's plenty of room
all around you.
It's nice back here.
Especially when you option
up to the captain's chairs.
Feel pretty important.
My same complaints
about the front seats
apply to the back seats
in that they aren't plush,
they're a little bit firm.
But they're totally comfortable.
I'd be happy to sit back here.
The best thing about the second
and third rows in the Traverse
is how easy it is to get
from one to the other.
I mean, you can just walk there,
like it's a freaking airplane.
Or if you're getting
in from outside,
the passenger seat
tilts forward.
You can even do it with
a child seat in there
and it's not a problem
there's plenty of space
to get into the back row.
Take the baby out first.
I've been in second rows
that don't have as much room
as the third row
in the Traverse.
I mean, it's pretty
great back here.
Plus, it has all of the
creature comforts-- cup holders,
USB ports, a vent
for climate control.
I mean, I wouldn't want to
be the kid in the middle
here on a long road trip, but
for around town, totally fine.
With 23 cubic feet
behind the third row,
and 98 cubic feet with
it down, plus the ability
to have just part of it
down the Traverse winds
the cargo space awards
offering more room
than the Honda Pilot, Toyota
Highlander, or Ford Explorer.
Bonus points for how easy it is
to put the seats down and bring
them up again.
Bonus, bonus points for bonus
storage under the floor.
Obviously, I don't play the
cello, but maybe your kid does.
Or maybe you find and refinish
antiques on the weekend.
Whether it's for your growing
family or your outsize hobbies,
the Chevy Traverse is
big on interior space.
It's not just big, it's useful.
And isn't that the whole
point of a midsize SUV?

2018 Chevrolet Traverse - Review and Road Test
Kelley Blue Book:
the second generation Chevrolet Traverse
it's a three row midsize SUV that we
really like propelling our positive
vibes is a deeply functional interior
let's start somewhere boring door
storage the front rear doors are loaded
with bins and nooks galore though I'm
not quite sure what defines a bin versus
a nook beyond the aforementioned door
nooks smaller items can be stowed in the
sizeable center console in this spot
below the second row climate controls or
in a handy USB adjacent bin beneath the
center stack aside from slight pressure
in the upper back region the front seats
are superbly comfortable and as the
driver you'll enjoy a highly
customizable driving position supported
by well-placed arm rests just know drive
like a maniac and you'll wish for more
lateral support Headroom is
unsurprisingly excellent up front but
that excellence extends rearward as well
Tim is six foot something and look his
head is not mashed against the headliner
nobody cares also he's British and too
polite to complain about legroom so I'm
going to proactively slide and angle my
seats slightly forward. Thank you. Sorry I was uncomfortable. It's fine.
with less diplomatic occupants rear-seat
nice space could be tight but as
consolation third row dwellers are
gifted a wealth of cupholders decent
foot space under the second row and two
USB outlets on that note the Traverse
comes with USB ports in all three rows
that plus an optional three prong outlet
means well-charged devices ensuring your
family never has to, you know, speak
where material quality is concerned the
Traverse leaves room for its Buick
Enclave sibling to fancy things up even
so GM's mainstream offering incorporates
some soft materials and in many places
uses a soft coating to spruce up hard
plastics in other places it doesn't with
the second and third row stowed Traverse
owners have a substantial ninety eight
point two cubic feet to fill raised
those seats and twenty three cubic feet
of dedicated cargo space remains
supplemented by an additional 3.2 cubic
foot underfloor storage hold while
prattling on about the traverses many
fine qualities we should reserve time to
talk about how it drives and how it
drives is lovely the suspension
skillfully absorbs bumps while keeping
the chassis in check when cornering and
when you pick up the pace interior noise
is mostly quashed except for some
whistling in this region, which you would
hear if I didn't have to stop for that
stoplight
the man says I have to stop
providing propulsion is a mighty 3.6
liter v6 that tows up to 5,000 pounds
and moves the Traverse with real
authority when asked maybe more
impressive is the standard 9 speed
automatic it's a shining star of a
transmission that delivers virtually
seamless transparent shifts and when you
introduce the accelerator to the carpet
acceleration and downshifts occur without
delay for its size the Traverse is
fairly efficient aided by an
inconspicuous but undefeatable automatic
engine start/stop system that saves fuel
when the vehicle is motionless if you
don't mind giving up a few mpg the
optional all-wheel drive system adds
traction inslippery conditions a
turbocharged four-cylinder engine is
also available but only in the sporty
Traverse RS producing less horsepower
more torque and better city fuel economy
than the v6 the real trick with a
relatively large SUV is to hide its
girth the Traverse does just that with
light and easy steering and a tight
turning circle that make it a confident
parking tool parked on the flipside
visibility over your right shoulder is
terrible especially since depending on
where the seats are the right second row
headrest completely blocks the side
window in my experience if you can see
what's in the adjacent Lane lane changes
are less stressful
helping address those visibility
concerns our higher trim features like
blind spot monitoring a 360 degree
camera system rear cross-traffic alert
and rear but not front parking sensors
rounding out the option roster are
indulgences like wireless phone charging
a hands-free tailgate heated and
ventilated front seats leather and a
heated steering wheel choose the fancy
high country trim with its power folding
seats and traction enhancing dual clutch
rear differential and you can spend
nearly fifty three thousand dollars it's
worth mentioning that adaptive cruise
control is only offered on the high
country trim while many competitive SUVs
offer similar technology at a lower
price point and if you need eight seats
you're stuck with the low end L & LS
trims as higher Traverse trims only come
with seven in basic not quite $31,000
form the Traverse comes surprisingly
well equipped with keyless entry and
push-button start three-zone automatic
climate control a wide-angle backup
camera a smart slide 2nd row seat for
easy third row access and 7 airbags
including a center airbag that deploys
from the inboard side of the driver's
seat the standard infotainment system is
a 7-inch unit featuring apple carplay
and android auto but buyers can also
upgrade to an 8 inch system with a
lockable storage area behind the screen
hiding the traverses elusive seventh USB
port either way the screen is decently
sized placed within reach and the menus
are a cinch to navigate while shopping 3
row midsize SUVs it's always smart to
investigate the alternatives some
standouts include the roomy VW Atlas
the practical Toyota Highlander the
thoughtfully crafted Honda Pilot and the
strong selling Ford Explorer
pleasant to drive and
competitively-priced with lots of cargo
space and room for up to 8 passengers
the Chevrolet Traverse is fantastically
suited for family duty despite some
formidable competition the Traverse is a
midsize SUV that deserves your attention
2020 GMC Acadia Denali: FULL REVIEW | THIS is a Refresh Done RIGHT!
Car Confections:
What's going on YouTube?
So one of gmc's consistent top performers has been the acadia and so far this year. It's on pace to set a new sales record
But GMC isn't just basking in a success
But instead this year is extensively renovating the Acadia Denali in all the ways that matter
luxury performance
tech and utility
That's why we're out at Don
Franklin Buick GMC today to check one out and of course if you're in the market for any new Buick or GMC
Make sure you stop by their dealership or visit them via their website, which we provided a link to in the video description
So with all that said let's see just how much better the new Acadia really is
So getting things started with the exterior design you would be hard-pressed to even recognize that this is the same vehicle up front
GMC has totally scrapped the previous fascia and replaced it with this much bolder and boxier front end
Now this being the Denali does mean we have the most eye-catching grille design being totally chrome
But of course the lower trims like the 84 will come with more subdued designs
Turning to the headlights
This is the other huge upgrade since every model now gets these slender full LED lights
Whereas the previous Acadia was not available with LEDs at all
They have a very premium look to them with three crystals surrounded by a bracket daytime running light and turn signal
plus LED fog lights below
Now heading around to the side and back this is where you can finally tell that this is actually a
Refresh and not a total redesign
That's not to say there are no changes. It's just that they are more subtle like the larger and now fully LED taillight you
The lower bumper has also been revised to body color instead of Chrome though. It still integrates dual horizontal exhaust outlets
So overall, this was a very effective refresh design wise
Since it not only fully modernized the Acadia, but also made it look more
Handsome and upscale than the vast majority of the competition
Now another important update our new wheels across the entire lineup
This Denali of course has the most distinctive 20-inch wheels, but honestly
It's the other trims that are more of an upgrade since they went from basic to stylish this year
and
Moving on to the mirrors all models have heating but Denali also has driver side auto dimming and blind spot monitor
And as far as all the other safety systems the Denali will get most of them standard like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
Lane Keeping Assist and auto high beam headlights, but if you want to adapt your cruise control, you will need to select the technology package
But anyways guys that pretty much sums up all the exterior upgrades
So now let's go ahead and see these significant changes GMC has made to the inside
So standard on every Acadia you do have GM smart entry system with the typical GMC key fob
You will also notice on most of the trim levels you will have a remote start system
Now as is the case with most General Motors vehicles, there is not a sensor behind the handle instead
You just press this button to unlock
All right, so taking a look inside the new cabin in the 2020 Acadia Denali
As you can see certain parts of the design have carried over but there are a lot of new characteristics
Now as far as the cabin color and material options for this Denali
You do have several different choices. So you will always have the very nice perforated leather. Of course
But you get the choice between jet black or this light coloured shale
but one of the new things that's very nice this year for
2020 is that we now have an open pour ash wood trim on Denali
versus the previous faux butcher
That's already over here to your door trim it is very nicely appointed it's got those same
Materials from the seating and the other parts of the Interior
So you do have the nice shale color leather through here the open pour wood that runs along this area
And this part is soft touch plastic with a color contrast stitching
Naturally on these on the loaded model here. We do have two person receiving and our front two windows are OneTouch auto up and down
Now as far as the seats here on the Denali
We do have an eight-way power adjusting seat with two way lumbar support that would carry over to most of the other trims as well
And then like I already said this is a full real leather seat. It has a real nice and supple feel to this leather
I also really like the perforated design and we have some new types of stitching here to give it a little bit more character this
Year, and then of course like every Denali you do have the embroidering up here of the branding
Now like I was saying there are a lot of new aspects to this cabin this year including some of our graded materials
So across your upper dash here you have a soft touch plastic and then through the middle here
We have some of this new open pore wood with the real brushed aluminum all this is stitched plastic
We have more of the really nice brushed aluminum that goes around the screen here
It also new this year
we have a nice leather pad that runs through this area for your knee to rest against and then once again
Some more of the real open or wood which looks very attractive
Now as far as how everything fits together
You may notice there are some panel gaps around
I'm gonna chalk that up to being at the beginning of the production run but everything does still feel very solid
Now turning over here to your screen this is the 8 inch touch display this is another area that's been upgraded this year
However, we'll get into that a little later in the video
All right, now what you're looking at here is the upgraded reconfigurable gauge cluster that comes on Denali
It does have an 8 inch display which replaces the usual 4.2 inch display
Now this is the same version that was equipped last year
So this is actually the older version which I prefer versus the newest reconfigurable gauge cluster that I've seen on recent GM's because
This one actually has more
reconfigurable
reconfigurability
You actually can change like the designs and stuff where some of the current ones don't have that option
So we can like click in like this and we can change between two different design languages
So that you can see this is kind of a weird modern look or we can go for a more traditional look
Now it is worth pointing out
new to the Acadia
This year is a 6 inch head-up display now that would come usually in the technology package on Denali
We actually have that package, but because that feature is not going to be available until later in the year
We don't have it on this particular model
Now coming back to the steering wheel of course, we do have electric power assisted steering
And every model will come with a leather wrap steering wheel. However, of course on the Denali we do have the real brushed aluminum accents
as far as your buttons here these are for your adaptive cruise control
we do have heating as well as power adjustment on this Denali and
Then on this side, we have our buttons which control the multifunction display
Off to the side here we have an electronic parking brake as well
Now moving on to interior storage, this is one of the big upgrades for 2020
And I'll go over the reason why in a second, but we do have a lot more this year
So start out with we have a very nicely sized center console quite deep at least a foot deep
we do have a little pad down at the bottom as well a
Tiny space right here. We now have two cupholders oriented this direction now, we have a really large bin right here
With a nice wireless phone charger pad right here as well as now a USB type-c a regular USB and a 12-volt outlet
The biggest upgrade though is all of this space down here
So we know how they Center pass-through so you can stick just about anything down here
It's a good place to kind of hide something or keep it from rolling around on the floor
Now, of course as you probably already saw the reason why we have this extra amount of storage is that we've now gone to
the
push button style shifter instead of the traditional one
So now it's up here kind of out of the way
So it is very simple to use you pull on these toggles here and you push on the other buttons
So for drive, you're just going to pull back like so
You can also
Shift into low and also shift manually here if you want to for whatever
Reason, but there's not gonna be any paddle shifters on any of the models
For reverse you're also going to pull back on that toggle
And when you do you will notice the brand new 360-degree camera system that is optional and Denali
And this is the newest General Motors camera system
Like I said, it's got tons and tons of different views and really high resolution like I've shown off in many other models
So you have the ability for like three dimensional views side views
trailering views
Really there's just a ton of different things
and like I said, the resolution is very high some of the best in the entire auto industry and
Then for park you just press they're big people
Well right now our redesigned consul here we do have some other important buttons to look at so I'll start off up here
This is a brand new button this turns on and off your auto start/stop system that previously was not an available option
It was on automatically all the time
You do have a traction control defeat button your hazards and your parking sensors
And then back behind it here
We do have one of the Acadias unique features that carries over and that's kind of having this drive controller right here
they actually allow you to select when you want to be in two wheel drive and four wheel drive unlike most of the competition which
Does that automatically
And then off to the side here we do have
Our controls for both our three-stage heated seats as well as our three stage ventilation both of which are standard on the Denali truck
Now kind of bouncing off that to the climate controls we do have a three zone automatic setup on the denali acadia
So it is very simple to use all you have to do is just adjust these knobs
They're nice and big and ergonomically friendly we do have our zones that trim around it
And then your fan speed is right here. So everything is located right here
Now that brings us on up here to our audio system now on the Denali
Of course as you'd expect we do have the nicest audio system available in the lineup
And that's going to be an 8 speaker Bose premium audio system
So let's go ahead and take a sample up
Some quality of this system is definitely excellent and I
Especially appreciate the generous amount of base in the system
All right, so now we are up here at our brand new GMC infotainment system
So we'll go ahead and take a look at that
now I'm not going to be super in-depth about this in this video because
It is the same type of system that we've seen in many other
GM vehicles including other GMC models it is but it is new to the Acadia for 2020
So this version here the important updates are basically that we have a new screen much higher resolution
Looks very clear and nice
Very responsive as well. So you can just really quickly click into things and everything is just real snappy and zippy
We have a redesigned layout so you have the shortcut buttons along the bottom like so
Now hitting some of the highlights of the features
On Denali you do have standard navigation
This is the brand new navigation system. It does update over-the-air
Graphics are much better. And as you see once again, very very responsive to pinch zoom and whatnot
Now you do have some buttons along here that you can't control the system with and you can actually use this knob here
To move about the system if you don't want to put fingerprints on it
As far as your other important features we do have standard apple carplay and android auto both onboard
And that's on they'll be across the entire lineup even on the lower end models
Now heading on up here you will find an auto-dimming mirror, of course standard on Denali with your three Homelink Universal remotes
But as you can see right here, we have the technology package which throws in the brand-new rear camera mirror
This is new to the Acadia for 2020 even though we have seen it on other General Motors vehicles
And it does work the same way. It just cuts out all the obstructions behind you
So you just get a super clear and nice view of
Anybody that's behind you
And then turning up here we do have the dual panel moonroof setup
Now it does continue to have a manual circuit which is a little bit different from the rival
So you have to push up and kind of unclip it and it pulls back the same also goes for the back
As I said it is dual panel
It's not a continuous piece like in some of the competition, but you do have the two separate panels
The front panel does open up and you do have a windscreen now
this is an option on the Denali as well as lower trim levels for
$1,400
But overall, I am really liking the upgrades that GMC has made to the cabin for 2020
The stuff that they did I think is really meaningful
They they hit all the important things and this is one of the nicest cabins in the class
And you also have the rear seat reminder system like in other GM vehicles
All right, well that does it for the front areas of the cabin
So I'll hand it off to Mason to check out all the back areas
All righty, so heading around to the 2020 Acadias rear-seat you are gonna find a good amount of space
You'll find 40 inches of rear legroom and 40 inches of rear headroom
Which does place it on par with most of the rivals like the toyota highlander and honda pilot
Now turning over here to the door trim GMC has given you a very luxurious one especially here in the Denali trim
So all this upper portion is soft touch plastic
However, you do not have the stitching from the front and down below that we do have leather going all the way through here
now in addition to that we do have a cup holder some more wood trim your power window and
Down below that you have some bottle storage as well as a little cubby right here
Now as far as the seat itself is concerned obviously we do have the captains chairs on this particular Denali
They are standard on the Denali model. However, you can get five
Six or seven passenger seating so there's a quite a few different configurations
You can actually have no third-row at all. Or you can have the event seat here in the back or this captain's chair model
Now as far as the seat adjustments itself, it does also slide and recline
Now here in the center GMC was very nice to include your own climate control standard across all of the models
So you do have your fan adjustment you have an automatic mode as well as the different fan zones and temperature adjustment
Now down below that you might also notice that we do have three-stage heated rear seats
which are standard on the Denali model and
Down below that we do also have plenty of outlets to keep all of your family charged up
so we do have a household style outlet a
USB type-c and a smart charging USB and that is standard on the SLT models and higher
down below further below that we do also have some cup holders as well as an integrated storage area and
This model, does that the captain's chair so we do have the integrated armrest and
Above that we have the power
We do have the twin panel moonroof, which really does I do like this feature
It would be nicer if it was the panoramic set up, but I do like this feature
It really helps tear out the cabin especially here in the second and third rows and we do have some holiday lighting
Your air vent right here as well as an assist grip and coat hook
And as far as the rear legroom is concerned like I said
This is on par with most of the class. So behind your seating position
I have about seven to eight inches of rear legroom and my feet can easily slide up underneath the seat
Now to get into the third row seats GMC has made it quite easy
So you have to do is locate this little handle push it forward and seat this slide right out of the way
Now obviously this particular model is equipped with the third row seating
The vast majority of the Acadia lineup will have third row seating if you're wondering
And as far as the rear legroom is concerned it is class competitive
However, one thing worth mentioning is that there are only two seats back here. Whereas some of the rivals will give you three seats
And sitting back here
My first impression is actually a good one
so I have about an inch of rear leg room to spare and that is with us seat adjusted all the way back and my
Feet also do have a spot to slide up underneath the seat. It's not the most spacious but it is pretty good and
Off to the side. We do have an integrated cup holder
GMC was nice enough to include rear vents as well as some lighting as well and
Off to the left side. We do also have a smart charging USB, which is a nice touch
So overall this is actually a really good third row for the class
It's pretty competitive with most in the class of you're wondering how this compares to a pilot or highlander. It is about
And before I move out of the second row areas
I do want to mention that there is also a rear seat entertainment system available
I forgot to mention that earlier but it is an option if you want that
And they're heading the route to the tailgate of the Acadia it is hands-free power
So all you have to do is wave your foot under the bumper and you can't see it right now
But there is also a projection under there
And once inside the Acadias trunk you are going to find a little bit smaller space than you would in most of the arrivals
So you're gonna find 13 cubic feet behind the third row seats
it expands to 42 cubic feet if you fold them and
Then as a maximum you have 79 cubic feet with all of the seats folded
Now like I mentioned that is a little bit smaller than the current Toyota Highlander as was the Honda Pilot
But it's not by a huge margin
So I don't think you were going to notice that really if you're cross hopping between them
Now as far as how they finished it back here. It is finished very nicely through there of a carpeted floor board
Off to the side. We do have some storage as well as the handles to fold the second row seats
So let's go ahead and fold these seats and see what it's like
So I have to do is grab this little strap. It does hold the headrest and I push forward
As you can see they do fold flat with the floor and I can fold the second row right here
As you can see that is a very easy process some of the rivals
Don't allow you to fold the second row from back here. So that's a nice touch and
Underneath of the floor. We do have an additional storage areas as you can see. These are probably about six to eight inches deep
So you can fit quite a bit of stuff back here
Now coming over hit the passenger seat it is power adjusting as you would expect out of this Denali model
In front the passenger you do have premium materials down below that a good size cloth box
it is not felt line, but it is dampened and
Up top. We do have a Sun Visor with mirror and light
And it does also detach as was extend
Now that pretty much sums up all the practical stuff about this GMC Acadia
So that's going take it on the road and see how it compares to its rivals like the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot
All right, so let's go ahead and cruise into the powertrain section
Now with this car you actually have three different options
So that's different from a lot of the competition right off the bat. So
Just like last year your lowest in trims they're gonna come with a basic
2.5 liter four-cylinder engine only 193 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque
That's not very common. It's not on very many models. Just the very base once
Now what's new this year is a brand new 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine
That makes 230 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque
That will be available it's not available right at this moment
It's a late availability item, but it will be available on the 2020 Acadia later this year
Now what continues to be the engine that's on the Denali as well as most of the models is your 3.6 liter v6 engine
that makes the most power by far 310 horsepower and
271 pound-feet of torque
Also upgraded this year is the transmission across the entire lineup you now have a 9 speed automatic transmission versus the previous 6-speed automatic
And you have the choice between front-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive
But the 84 does have standard all-wheel drive
And then lastly we only have fuel economy numbers for the v6 because it's the only one available right at this moment
And it does improve this year the 9-speed automatic bumps it out by one MPG combined to now
nineteen city twenty seven highway 22 combined with front-wheel drive and
twenty-one combined with all-wheel drive
But anyways with that said let's go ahead and take this updated powertrain out on the road and see how it's changed
That wasn't much of an acceleration, but I can tell are right off the bat just kind of how responsive it was
I was noticing it even just moving around the
parking lot
This the tuning is a lot more responsive than it used to be
Yeah, definitely way better
Also noticing, what a comfortable riding car this is we're just been cruising down the highway here about 55 miles an hour
Very smooth very comfortable. It is an isolating type of experience here
So you just don't hear it any like road noise much wind noise anything like that
and
The ride is super smooth
I haven't driven the standard versions of this model since right now mostly it's just eighty fours and Denali is out, but
It is worth pointing out that you do have the act of dampening with the Denali
So that is going to make it have this smoother ride
It really does feel you know
if I close my eyes and didn't really know we were in I would probably predict that we're in a
Luxury vehicle because it does right that smooth and you know
That's particularly worth noting because a lot of people do cross shop this with luxury vehicles
you know, it's kind of an alternative to you know, a luxury 3-row, so
It is important that you're in the Denali trend that it does write like a luxury car and I'm happy to say that it does
That's right. GMC plays ball in both markets
So you have the lower-end stuff that's very competitively priced with
Everything else in the class non-luxury
And then you do have this denali
which is on the top end and like based on saying people do cross shop this with luxury vehicles, which means has got to
Actually deliver a luxurious experience. I
Will say it actually feels very similar to the xt6 Cadillac that we just drove in that video. We were
you know discussing that how much that had a lot of improvements versus the acadia and versus
Different other general motors motor vehicles
Now they've kind of brought a lot of those improvements down to this because I was comparing it to what I had driven
Previously, which is the 2019 now
We have a lot of those xt6 updates to the powertrain specifically in the way. It rides and how quiet it is
I feel like that has come to the Acadia to now give it that kind of luxury
Experience
I
Do want to talk about the transmission this new 9-speed automatic
Very impressed by this big improvement
The biggest thing I look for when
we have the models with high amount of gears is just
Is it confused does it respond in different types of situations like that? Right just back
There was a rolling stop, you know, that is really bad for a lot of transmission. Yeah, it really freaks them out
No problem with this
Of course you've seen from a standstill
Taking off it does a great job very responsive under different types of throttle applications
And you can barely even feel the shifts at all
As far as the steering is concerned
GM has done a really good job here as well
He just feels that it has a good natural weight to it a nice balance
You know nothing in this
Category is like real athletic or anything like that, but you can see it just has a nice linear progression a good feel
It's not too numb. It's not too light. It's not too heavy
You know, it's just really a nice balanced steering setup for this category of vehicle
Yeah, and a lot you can tell that this vehicle is a little bit smaller than some of its rivals because it does have less
Body roll it does feel a little bit less massive and this kind of feels a little bit more agile than those cars
Now in our controller we have a couple modes that we can choose
So what I'm going to do right now is choose the sport mode since we're on
You know Street use there is also like an off-road mode
And a towing and hauling mode as well
Yeah, honestly I couldn't really tell any difference there with the
Sport model maybe it's a draw maybe tuned a little bit more responsive
But like I said it by default, it's actually very responsive feeling
Than the way that they tuned everything and I think that's a big benefit because a lot of the competition that I can think of
For fuel economy
purposes and they just kind of tune things to be a little sluggish when you first get off the line and then it
Doesn't really want to do anything and so you're really hammer it down
You know this feels plenty responsive
different types of drawing applications
And 310 horsepower is more that a lot of the traditional riser and rivals will offer like the Highlander and Pilate those
Are not even in the 300, you know, haven't haven't crossed 300 horsepower yet
But over all of this 2020 Acadia is definitely an enjoyable vehicle to drive
It definitely does a lot of things very well in this class
You know, it just hits a lot of the important things and this refresh has really
upgraded the driving experience
You know and just like I had mentioned with the interior, you know, a lot of times we're refreshed
Sometimes they move they don't do anything
Sometimes they move backwards, but in this case, but this 2020 Acadia is definitely a great progression forward
Very noticeably different in all throughout the entire package
you
All righty
and now as far as the pricing of concern for this refresh
2020 GMC Acadia you are going to find very competitive pricing for its class of vehicle. If not a little bit cheaper
So for the very base front-wheel drive SL that's going to start at twenty nine thousand eight hundred
Which is definitely not a you know
Most in the class or thirty one thirty two thousand starting so that's good price incentive there
But if you want the SLE that's gonna start at thirty three thousand eight hundred the SLT thirty eight thousand eight hundred
the all-new eighty four trim is
forty one thousand three hundred and it is worth noting that that comes here with the all-wheel drive that Drew is talking about and
Then you have finally what we have here, which is the Denali and that starts at forty six thousand three hundred dollars
Now if you want all-wheel drive on any of those trims that's going to be 2,000 additional
Now as far as how this particular one is equipped, we have almost every single option that we can't have
So we've opted for the all-wheel drive. So that's an additional two thousand and we've also opted for several packages
so we have the technology package for
1795 as well as the dual skyscape sunroof for fourteen hundred
We have optional white frost paint for one thousand and ninety five dollars
We also have the trailering package for six fifty and then when you add any destination charge of one thousand
eleven
$1,195 that's going to bring the total for this particular model to fifty four thousand four hundred and thirty five dollars
Which is I would admit that is a higher price point than a lot of its rivals. Most of them will top off around 50
but it is worth noting that this car does give you a little bit more premium and experienced some people just across
Yeah, this could be a luxury vehicles
Often so it is something

Chevrolet Tahoe RST 2018 | Full Review | with Steve Hammes | TestDriveNow
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews:
High performance SUVs - yes, they’re a thing
and their numbers seem to be growing.
But in recent years, GM hasn’t fielded an
entry.
Until now - with this new Tahoe RST, available
for the first time with the company’s 6.2-liter
V8 and other street truck upgrades.
Perhaps you remember the TrailBlazer SS, Silverado
SS or SSR – hot rod Chevy trucks of recent
vintage.
Now it’s the RST editions that are reviving
the pedigree.
Short for Rally Sport Truck, the big boy Tahoe
and Suburban are the first up to go RST.
Remember - there’s the RST Edition which
only gives you part of the street truck look
and then there’s the RST Performance Package
that drops in the 6.2, 10 speed Auto, and
performance calibrated suspension.
These brakes and Borla exhaust are extras.
Available on the 2 highest Tahoe trims, the
RST Edition adds $2,630 to the price and includes
22” wheels, black bowties – seems like
every Chevy has them these days, gloss black
grille, black mirror caps and black badging.
Set against this summit white paint the RST
has certainly got the look.
But it’s the next $2,820 that adds the real
stuff.
That’s where you’ll find the 420 horsepower
engine, the Ford-developed 10-speed gearbox,
high-capacity air cleaner, a transfer case
with 2-wheel, auto, 4-high and 4-low settings,
Magnetic Ride Control suspension with a performance
calibration and a trailer brake controller.
The larger front brakes which really seem
more like a necessity with this much power
and weight are a dealer installed option and
cost a hefty $2,795.
The dual side-exit Borla exhaust with black
chrome tips is another $1,249 and nets an
additional 7-10 horsepower at the wheels.
You get the picture – a loaded Tahoe 4WD
RST with Performance Package isn’t cheap.
How does $80,000 sound?
Definitely some sticker shock here.
Don’t think of the RST in the same vein
as a Trackhawk or the like - it’s just so
much bigger and heavier that it’s impossible
to extract that much performance.
You won’t be taking this to track day or
autocross.
What it is: is a brawny, body on frame truck
with a stiffer suspension.
Add in the throaty exhaust and upgraded front
brakes and it’s a confident Tahoe for those
who crave a little more of everything.
I can’t rectify its price per pound of additional
fun so it’s a pass for me but I’m sure
some will see the allure.
The Tahoe feels massive at over 5,600 pounds
as you tower over just about everything else
on the road.
And these seats are created for the fat cat
who can afford one so there’s virtually
no holding you in place during spirited driving
– a sport seat option would be nice.
Despite the normally excellent MRC dampers,
this Tahoe has lost its smooth, big rig ride
quality with the 22” all-season tires playing
a factor while adding considerable drag on
the steering.
Yeah, it bites a little harder on turn in
and body sway is muted but not to a degree
that would warrant this kind of investment.
The most impressive RST component is the powertrain.
This high-tech V8 and its 460 pound-feet of
torque can go into V4 mode to save fuel and
is direct injected with variable valve timing
– quite the engineering marvel.
And it gets a legit 17mpg in combined driving…far
more than you’d expect though it wants premium
gas.
But this transmission needs a sport mode in
order to keep the power on demand because
the 10-speed sometimes takes an awful long
time to kick down.
Plus, the gas pedal is designed for truck-like
work so it takes a deep push to extract the
power.
Once you’re there though this Tahoe can
run a sub-6-second 0-to-60mph time which sounds
more impressive than it actually feels.
I’d like even more rumble from the exhaust,
though…it’s pretty tame for Borla.
Towing is rated for 8,100 pounds.
Inside, features abound from wireless device
charging to a blu-ray player to a head-up
display to top-notch infotainment.
It’s living large 3-row style with every
creature comfort inside to make it comfortable
and easy to use.
This Cocoa/Mahogany combo looks rich in quality,
too.
A huge center consoled bin, power operated
2nd and 3rd row seats from the tailgate area,
all-weather floor liners, living room accommodations
with a drop down screen, easy access 3rd row
seats, vibrating safety alert seat replete
with all of today’s electronic helpers…OnStar,
Wi-Fi – this is a great place to spend time
and Chevy has aged this cabin very well.
The big price tag seems more legit when viewed
from the prism of amenties.
Keep in mind, because of the Tahoe’s construction,
the 3rd row seats are fine as long as you
don’t have long legs because the floor is
raised so they’ll be in your throat.
The panoply of RST bits takes the Tahoe in
a credible street truck direction but its
performance fails to wow with the force of
$80,000.

2017 GMC Yukon XL Denali - Hammes Family Vacation Review | TestDriveNow
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews:
It's been 4 years since the last time the
3 of us packed-up and headed south for a little
R&R.
Now, this may come as a surprise but I don't
really relish driving over 22 hours on I-95
even if it is to sunny Florida.
But just like last time, I've summoned the
help of a GMC to make the voyage a little
easier…or in the case of the Yukon XL Denali,
a lot easier.
Winters are long in upstate New York and spring
blooms pretty late here.
I’ve seen snowstorms in mid-May, so visions
of South Florida beaches have been dancing
in our heads for many months.
I’ve done this drive more times than I care
to remember and the older I get the less tolerance
I have for it.
So I felt relieved when I read through the
specs of this fully loaded 2017 Yukon XL Denali.
It literally has every feature I want for
this type of driving; blind spot monitoring,
adaptive cruise control, head-up display,
navigation, Apple Car Play, Wi-Fi, a Blu-Ray
rear entertainment system with an abundance
of connections and of course, lots of cargo
room.
Those are my priority points.
The fact that it also packs in tri-zone climate
control, heated and cooled seats, auto wipers
and high beams and just about every other
safety and creature comfort means all I have
to do is babysit the steering wheel.
And that’s what I-95 driving is…a never-ending
game of traffic chess.
This isn’t enjoyable driving, so anything
to soothe the nerves and calm the temper is
welcome and this Yukon has that angle completely
covered.
It’s massive with an extra 20” of length
but slicing through traffic is remarkably
easy.
GM is the authority on making big trucks drive
like cars and even Lara felt comfortable taking
the helm.
Parking can cause some heartburn but with
power folding mirrors, front and rear park
assist and a backup cam it’s manageable.
A 360 degree surround view camera would make
for a nice addition.
When I first learned our vacation vehicle
was going to be a Yukon XL, I thought it was
way more than the 3 of us needed.
And while we have an abundance of space, it's
this GMC's other attributes that make it the
ultimate road warrior.
Magnetic Ride Control is a boon to whatever
GM vehicle receives it and these special shocks
do wonders for both ride quality and body
motion control.
There’s no slop here when you’re aggressively
overtaking and everything beneath the tires
seems to just disappear.
It’s that smooth.
And I can’t believe how effective the active
noise cancellation is, especially considering
this is a huge rig, with a brawny V8 and 22”
tires.
I've averaged over 20mpg and highway passing
with this V8 is never an issue.
Our biggest surprises; it's library quiet
and the ride quality is wonderfully soft and
composed.
This 6.2-liter V8 makes 420 horsepower and
460 pound-feet of torque yet with new front
active aero shutters and a V4 mode, this 4X4
scored us stellar mileage and the driving
range is off the charts…almost 700 miles
on the highway.
I’ve put in the recommended premium gas
but it’ll run on 87.
Arriving to our destination as rested as possible,
the Yukon did its job admirably.
A couple of suggestions for add-ons would
be speed limit information and queue assist
for the adaptive cruise control so in crazy
stop and go traffic you wouldn’t have to
even lift a foot.
The boxy, angular design isn’t particularly
modern and for a Denali I’d like to see
even more differentiation, particularly in
the cabin where aesthetics take a 3rd row
seat to functionality…it’s easy to use
but doesn’t look like an $80,000 SUV.
And with just about every option, that’s
where this one lands, at $80,890.
That’s no doubt big money but I can’t
get over how many of these I’ve seen on
the road so GMC no doubt has a willing customer
base.
So GMC and the Hammes’ are 2 for 2.
There’s no better way to get to know a vehicle
than to basically live in it with your family
for 2 weeks and the Yukon Denali exceeds expectations
in every regard.
As we say goodbye to palm trees, water slides
and 80 degree temps, home is calling.
The family truckster has matured exponentially
since I was a kid and some might say we’ve
gone soft with all of these fancy comforts
but driving isn’t what it once was either
with congestion one of our country’s biggest
problems and a vehicle like this can be the
difference between arriving
calm and going cuckoo.
A13184TR Used 2018 GMC Yukon XL SLT 4WD Black SUV Test Drive, Review, For Sale -
McCluskey Chevrolet:
Check out this certified 2018 GMC Yukon.
This big four door sport utility only has
46,000 miles on the odometer.
So not only does it still have a long long
ahead of it, but it is covered by our free
lifetime mechanical warranty for as many years
and as many miles as you own it.
There is an ecotec 5,3L V8 engine with a 6-speed
automatic transmission with overdrive.
The leather seats are capable of being heated.
You can even start this vehicle up before
you leave the house or workplace, thanks to
the remote start system.
The back up camera will be great when it comes
to reversing and parking.
The fully automatic headlights are available
for night time visibility.
The Dual front and side impact airbags are
also available for safety.
2021 GMC Yukon | Professional Grade? | Steve Hammes
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews:
When the Escalade is a little too rich for
your blood and a Chevy a tad too plebian,
GMC is right there to perfectly meet your
large SUV needs.
The all-new 2021 Yukon and its extra-long
brother the Yukon XL have plenty of new tricks
up their sleeves including an even more luxurious
Denali model and the addition of the more
rugged AT4 trim.
Families will appreciate the Yukon’s nearly
5” longer wheelbase which substantially
expands 3rd row legroom and max cargo volume.
The Yukon XL also grows in those regards but
more modestly.
A new sliding 2nd row seat makes getting in
and out of that 3rd row easier than ever.
Of course, the new independent rear suspension
also plays a role in the smarter packaging
as well as elevating the Yukon’s ride sophistication.
If you’ve ever driven a GM vehicle with
Magnetic Ride Control you know how amazing
these shocks can be at controlling the body
and furthering handling while an available
air suspension should really take the edge
off and provide an additional 2” of ground
clearance when off-roading.
The big 6.2 V8 puts out 420 horsepower while
the standard engine is the familiar 5.3 liter
V8.
Rounding out the offerings is a new 3.0-liter
turbo-diesel which GMC says will lead in fuel
efficiency.
A 10-speed auto and new 4-wheel drive system
aim to improve traction, handling and overall
control.
Contrasting the Denali’s uptown look is
the AT4’s adventurous design which better
supports off-road capability with an up to
32 degree approach angle, recovery hooks,
skid plates and 20” all terrain tires.
And for the Denali, an exclusive interior
awash in premium materials truly distinguishes
it from the other trims with 4 available color
themes, authentic wood and hand stitched leather.
Also new is the Power Sliding Center Console
that can slide back up to 10” for expanded
storage and convenience.
Built in Texas, the 2021 Yukon and Yukon XL
go on sale this summer.
