“Yukon Denali has always matched style with substance, and the enhancements for 2018 advance that legacy,” Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global GMC said in a press release. “The foundational elements of exclusive design, premium touches and uncompromising capability have made Yukon Denali an icon for nearly 20 years.”
A new year, a new look
Since the Denali version of the GMC Yukon was first made available, its unique grille design was eye-catching and immediately let people know they were looking at a very special vehicle. For the new model year, GMC has updated the Denali grille with a more sophisticated design that is not only attractive but also functional by allowing better airflow to the radiator. Active grille shutters have been installed to help improve fuel economy through aerodynamics.
2018 Yukon Denali performance specs
GMC has wisely chosen to not fix what isn’t broken. The same 6.2-liter, V-8 engine making 420 horsepower that was used in previous versions will be returning to run the 2018 GMC Yukon Denali. The biggest change with the SUVs powertrain comes with the inclusion of a brand new 10-speed automatic transmission. Engineers built the new gear changer to have a wider overall gear ratio than the previous eight-speed automatic to help improve fuel economy.
