I have owned many Tahoes and Yukons The 2016 Denali is awesome. It looks great and the Corvette engine with the 8-speed is a great combo. GM cars are now so technologically advanced. This is the vehicle to have if you travel a lot with people/kids. WiFi is awesome and OnStar is a must for me. It is expensive, but blows away the competition. I've owned several Land Cruisers, and I you couldn't run fast enough to give me one of those over the GMC!

We returned to GMC Yukon after having an Expedition as our last vehicle. The Yukon is better in all material aspects. Seats more comfortable, engine power better, noise control excellent, and we don't seem to have any of the small malfunctions experienced with our Ford: sensor lights, wrong tire pressure readings, small leaks, slow power windows, and best of all, no glare from the inside chrome! We are old school....we want an SUV that's more like a truck and less like a car, so we don't like the smaller models, and do not feel as safe in them. This is an exceptional vehicle and fits our needs and has great quality in its manufacturing. The only thing I don't care for is second row bucket seats, would have preferred the bench version. . UPDATE 2018. This vehicle saved my husband's life. He was stopped on the interstate in traffic and was hit at high speed from behind by another full sized SUV. Although heavily damaged, not totalled and has been restored and repaired.

I had only a few minor repairs car runs smooth and for a car its size it surprisingly fast with great acceleration. Did not drink excessive gas due to cylinder deactivation system. The car sucks up whatever you want to put init.

Bought my 2016 GMC Yukon Denali a few years ago. I have a 2010 Yukon XL that my wife and I both love, so we were excited to upgrade to a more feature rich year. The 2010 has a great ride and is a fantastic road trip vehicle. Pretty quickly realized the 2016 has problems. The ride is terrible, especially on cement roadways. Asphalt is not as bad but still not as smooth as the 2010. The suspension system is billed as like riding on a cloud but in actuality is terrible, stiff, seemingly feeling every tiny pebble in the road. GM knows this is a problem but they don't care... buyer beware. So one star removed for the terrible ride. Both tail lights have now gone out on me. This is a known problem for this model. GMC doesn't care. Now, if I could just replace a bulb I wouldn't be bothered by this. But it is an integrated LED brake tail light/break light subassembly that has to be fully replaced...to the tune of $300 plus, each. Some places are charging $450 per unit and up just for the part. I have seen others quoted $800 per light for the GM dealer to replace them. This is a crime. How could they screw this up so thoroughly and then not stand by their product. Based on the 2010 Yukon XL I was a fan of GM. Now I will not by another product given their cavalier attitude. They've screwed up both the tail light and suspension system thoroughly. Another star removed for the gross negligence on the tail light. I removed one more star due to the fact when you open the back hatch things roll out the back because of the slope of cargo area. Not as big as the first two issues, but still a nuisance. I want to love this car. It has many nice features - a great sound system, lane assist, adaptive cruise control, cooling seats, blind spot alerts, assisted braking, good gas mileage for this type of car with econ mode dropping down to 4 cylinders when 8 aren't needed. Many nice features. But the negligence on GMs part to leave customers hanging on two expensive major known problematic issues has jaded me against this car and company for good. Buyer beware if you are considering a used GMC Yukon. UPDATE: Bought used in 2020. Terrible Terrible no good ride. Now the engine has catastrophic failure at 97000 miles. Needs to be replaced for $15000+. Dealership says I'm not alone. They replace a lot of engines on the 2016 (6.2 Liter). Besides the terrible quality engine the starter motor failed at 87K miles and had to replace both tail lights at 93K miles. The tail lights are a subassembly that are very expensive. If you are thinking about 2016 Yukon think again. You don't want this trouble and loss of money.

As stated in an earlier review, the vehicle styling is fantastic as is the acceleration. Other than that, probably should have chosen another vehicle. Have had multiple water leaks, first from shark fin on top, then was told a seal on the sunroof was faulty. Water came onto headliner, down thru the A-pillar, thru the back of the dash then onto the floor. Also experienced electronic problems with the touchscreen freezing up, which disabled any user interface for navigation, rear camera, etc. Dealer stated it was unrelated to the water leaks and just needed re-programmed, but I'm not buying it. Will probably look to trade for a Ford Expedition or Infiniti.
