50/50 on the V8, I dislike the fuel management software. GM has bulletin on it but the service tech within the local area blew it off. The vehicle still operates with a rough idle until the vehicle is fully warmed up and driven for 20 minutes. At traffic lights the vehicle will feel like it is about to stall and you can watch the volt meter on the dash spikes and drops as the vehicle tries to not stall. Additionally, when going up inclines you can feel the vehicle shudder, I wish owners could opt for the fuel management to be turned off and run on all eight cylinders all the time. Lastly, I think the dealership would take these concerns more seriously considering it is a $80k vehicle. ***update...after four or five visits and buying my own scan tool, finally diagnosed the issues as a P0300 and two fuel injectors needed replacement*** I have had issues with Google Maps going out while traveling thru the mountains which is not great when you almost miss your exit as the GPS is not working. I am not thrilled with this new direction of Navigation systems that are heavily reliant on having cell phone like reception. The rattles in the dash speaker are bit annoying and yet again the local dealership GM techs cannot diagnose these issue even though you hit a bump in the dealership lot and hear the noise while leaving with paperwork saying not able to duplicate. Therefore, I would say this; its is a good vehicle with a few annoying issues (GM has made a good SUV Trio (Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade)). However, GMC/GM needs to address the dealership service experiences, these are no longer $45k family hauler SUVs.

I bought a DEFECTIVE 2021 Yukon Denali

2021 GMC Yukon Denali 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 10A)

I purchased my GMC 2021 Yukon Denali in the first or second week of October 2020. I put a lot of money down on the vehicle. From the time I drove it off the lot I immediately called my salesperson Josh and told him the CarPlay was not working. Every time I made a call it’ll start making a bizarre sound randomly during the call. All suggestions, service Dept, no one could fix this issue. Currently, (12-27-2020) I’m in the process of returning the truck. GM now wants to bring in their technicians to look it over before they issue a refund. In addition, the rear entertainment is whacky. And the navigation system, separate from CarPlay, was way off for some time (4-5 days) but then “fixed itself”. It would read speed signs, location, roads, etc incorrectly. It did this for about a week recently in December 2020. Still don’t know what it was about. I’ve sent proof of ALL these occurrences and still no fix/repair to this day. If anyone can get this issue resolved immediately please reach me at norhet@gmail.com. Thank you!

Traded my 2019 Escalade for a 2021 Denali

2021 GMC Yukon Denali 4dr SUV (6.2L 8cyl 10A)

Traded in my 2019 Escalade and feel like I upgraded. The ride is superior. For the first time the interior finishes actually feel like a luxury vehicle should. The panorama roof is great, and my kids are enjoying the entertainment system. The third row is actually comfortable to sit in as well. Overall a complete 10 in my book. Love the new exterior style too. The lights under the deplorable running boards are extremely bright too. Lights up nicely at night. I Highly recommend this suv!

2022 GMC Yukon SLE 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
11 of 12 people found this review helpful
Have had multiple yukons all of which over 150,000 miles , one to 350,000. Purchased a 2022. No pedal extenders which makes spouse unable to drive, but not even close to bigger issues..SOFTWARE IS A DISASTER! Last night it downloaded new software and wouldn't shut off. Finally stopped or so i thought. This morning, battery dead. Managed to take a jump to get to dealer, but probable replacement necessary. Prior to this, issue with Apple connectivity . Waited awhile before necessary part came in to fix it...another few days. And more. This has been very disappointing. I do NOT trust this BRAND NEW vehicle. Have no doubt there will be more and this will be a continuous issue. As its a work vehicle, it needs to be dependable. Its not . GMC needs to evaluate

General Overview w/ Mileage Surprise

I see from many of the reviews, the 2021 Denali is not without problems, which can be typical of a new design. I have nothing but praise, except for the Apple Airplay interface, which still needs some fine tuning (between mfg and Apple). I am very pleased with my Yukon Denali, which as 11,555 miles on it since I picked it up in December 2020. I'd special order mine putting every option on it except the the lighted hood ornament. I should say, I'm not a GMC fan. I'd previously had a 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali and couldn't stand it. GMC was well behind RAM and Ford in technology. Solidly built (better than Ford and RAM), but on the inside, it was very 'utilitarian' and hardly invited. I ended up selling that just after a year. I'd also owned a 2017 Cadillac Escalade ESV which was sorta 'meh' in my overview. I kept that for 3 years. It was much better for creature comforts, but I hated the center counsel 'cooling storage' and the middle row seats that had no forward/aft adjustements and cramped. The fit and finish were very good, but in the end, it wasn't worth the $100k I paid for it. Sooooo, I was not a fan, though I do think GMC does a great job in this segment and has owned it for decades. Last May, one of my friends bought the new 2020 Sierra 3500 Denali and I was impressed. It was a quantum leap ahead of what I'd bought in 2018. The 10-speed transmission mated with the large V8 Diesel engine worked marvelously. A day or two later, a mail brochure of the new 2021 Yukon arrived at his house. It was amazing, the upgrades significant and it intrigued me. I went to the local deanship to see if they had one, because, like most people, I want to 'touch' it! But, it would seem and has been true for almost all of the last year, pandemic and all, getting to touch one was pretty much a pipe dream... A week later I decided to bite the bullet and order one built to specification. As noted, I ordered everything except for the lighted GMC emblem in the front grill and waited ... and waited ... and waited. Finally in December, 7 1/2 months later, my truck arrived. I'd ordered the Black Forest green and when I arrived at the deanship I saw a Detail in what I'd call for the most part, an anthracite grey. It was beautiful and demanded your attention. I met the dealer and said I'm here for the Denali, where is it? He looked at me and said, 'You passed it coming into the showroom!' But...but...but I ordered Black Forest green! He said, yep, that's what it is. I went back out and stared intently at the paint. It was rich, beautifully metallic, but I just wasn't getting the green. Open him up, found the window sticker, and sure enough, color: Black Forest Green. Finally when I was able to see the reflection of the sun, I could see it. I have since grown to appreciate the subtlety of the color and like that it's one that offers many colors in its spectrum. As for the vehicle itself, it's big, almost a foot longer than the previous model, with a well designed and executed interior. Its technology suite is upgraded significant, and frankly rivals the one I had in the 2017 Escalade, in fact, to be blunt, it's much better. It has the 6.2 liter V8 mated to a 10-speed transmission. I'd have opted for the diesel power plant, had it been the V-8 used in the 2500 and 3500 Sierra's, but alas, all they're offering is that wimpy 3.0 liter unit that barely exceeds the torque on the gas and comes no where close to the HP. So I knew, going in, I wouldn't be getting the fuel economy many reviewers thought a new design would be expecting (14/19 mpg w/ combined of 16 according to GM). But I'd get a great drivetrain that was more than up to the task of moving 3 tons + passengers and luggage. Rather than bore you with all the wiz-bang improvements, I'll sum them up like this: If you want an outstanding large family SUV with actual storage (good not great) behind the 3rd row seats (with all seats up), you should definitely look at the Yukon Denali, everyone who's ridden with me has had nothing but praise about its looks, interior, fit and finish and comfort. One last little side note. I currently have the truck in Utah (my home is in East Texas) and driving around. I just completed a round trip to the Salt Lake valley. This is a winding, hilly, up and over a couple of mount passes 356 mile drive. Now remember, up and over all sorts of hills and mountain passes... On this trip I averaged 21.2 mpg ... I was very impressed. I know this isn't great in the world of small vehicles where 25-35 mpg is the norm, but none of those can get that many people (up to 7) and their luggage around is such comfort and style.
