Faulty New Build
Paid 91k for a new 2023 Yukon XL and the motor went out after a week with all of my 5 kids in the car, stopped in the middle of the road! Very disappointed, I’ve never spent so much on a vehicle but my family grew and now I don’t trust going o a road trip with my family to Disney in this car…!

Disappointing, DO Not Lease or Buy
I leased a 2023 Yukon AT4. With only 3900 miles, the car started rattling. ABS, Traction control, and front impact warning sensor malfunctioned at the same time. I Brought it to the dealership and was told it was a mechanical issue, specifically the engine lifters, which were not available and had to be ordered (which would take over a week). I was told that the car is "perfectly safe" to drive and I could drive it back. Dealership did not have any loaner vehicles. I called GMC to question the validity of safety of the vehicle and why the dealership had no vehicles. I was told that they stood by the dealerships recommendations regarding the status of the vehicle and they had nothing to do with the loaner vehicles. I find that disturbing whereas other vehicle companies have loaner vehicles readily available. I asked if they would reimburse me for a car rental, again I was denied. I questioned the representative if an accident occurred with the vehicle being compromised would they take responsibility? There was no response. We ended the call with the typical pleasantries. My take is for a vehicle that is well over $80,000.00 engine problems should not occur with such low mileage, along with concurrent electrical issues. The company should take responsibility and remedy the inconvenience a leaser undergoes and mediate there interaction with the dealership. When that time of the month comes to take the lease payment from ones account, they are quick to secure there payment. Be aware to anyone looking to lease or purchase an SUV with GMC. You will get the typical " sorry cant do anything, and is there anything else I can help you with today" response. Nevertheless this is the last time I lease a vehicle with GMC.

Piece o crap
Running boards are a death trap..slippery with snow on boots you will crack your head wide open as you skim off the runners..most electrical stuff doesnt work..terrible soft bumpy rolling suspension...cant see a damn thing with poor poor poor headlights..interior material just mars and scuffs like mad and you cant clean it..stupid warning comes up on display telling you not to watch the display for long..BUT.. you have to physically take your eyes off the road to locate the dismiss button on the screen otherwise this message never ever dissappears....what kind of stupid gmc engineering is that?. Really are you guys that daft? Interior lighting is incredibly poor( led lighting can be very bright from really small fixtures- yet gmc chose to provide crappy lighting inside) the warning to check for an occupant in back seat is consistent not dependent on whether or not somebody is actually there so of course you will learn to completely ignore it after driving for a week....OR... it has a disable feature so for sure you will never check the back seat for your baby..isnt that genius...i have furiously danced like lord flatly doing the riverdance in many parking lots trying to get the back hatch to open with the kick feature..hah not much success but a casting director did ask me to tryout in his production...i am so sorry i bought this truck..oh by the way its a 4wd with no four- low..i mean wtf man...i just thought its a 4wd of course it has 4 lo..stoopit bozos. Dont buy it its been in the shop twice now..it has 6000 km on it..there is a reason why toyota has kicked gmc's butt and taken a huge share of the market...its a new vehicle i didnt want or expect to be having problems..how can you expect your family or loved ones to be safe and secure in a vehicle like this..they (gmc) dont care about you so run away from any gmc vehicle. SERIOUSLY!!!

Couldn’t be happier with my 2023 Yukon Denali
Having owned a 2012 Yukon Denali that I was very happy with, I made the (bad) choice to buy a Ford Expedition Limited in early 2020 mainly because it featured what I believed was a more sophisticated rear suspension. I really detested that car: the v6 turbo, the handling (would jump 6 inches sideways on expansion joints of a highway off-ramp), the transmission that died after 2 years and 50k miles etc. When the dealership said it’d take them 6 weeks to repair the car (which they initially claimed was not covered under warranty!!!), I was done with the Ford and I said they could keep it. The Yukon that replaced it has been nothing but a joy. 16k miles later, not one issue. Stellar gas mileage (it’s the diesel which this site did not offer as an option). 26.2 mpg for the first 10k miles city and Highway combined! 35 mpg on the highway is nothing special (AC does impact this number significantly). For such a big car! It feels rock solid. It looks good. The interior is nice. Very few little issues. The usb power in the center console is anemic. The electronic parking brake status light is lagging in displaying what is going on (so I sometimes re-set it even if it was going to be released), the rear camera view is poor at night due to the back up light being too weak. On the other hand the camera views from above etc. are just perfect (just drove a BMW 540i for 2k miles and they can learn a thing or two from gmc in that regard). Probably my favorite car so far.

So Far So Good
For some reason they don't list the Diesel as an option for the review. I opted for the Diesel engine in place of the 6.2. Fuel economy has been great, average 23 city/highway, and if on a longer trip we are seeing around 29-30 mpg at 75 mph. So far no mechanical or electrical defects as other have seen in earlier years. Mine has the Super Cruise, RSE, and just about every option on a Yukon Denali you can get, short if the Ultimate. We opted not go with the Ultimate as we didn't like the interior color, nor did we want speakers in the headrest.

A lot of problems
I like the cars ride and features but this car gave me a lot of problems. I’ve had the car a little over a year and it’s been to the dealer 5 times. With part delays I have been without my Yukon for almost 2 months. What blows me away is they cannot estimate when a part can be acquired. How can a huge company like GM let a car sit at the dealer for a month and have no idea when the part will be in. I’ve owned 9 GMs in my lifetime I might finally have to switch.this was the 6 cy diesel engine. There was no option for it

2023 Yukon AT4 disappointing
Since purchasing this vehicle brand new, I have had to have it towed out of the grocery store parking lot 8 month later due to the fuel pump going on it. While they were fixing it, they had to replace my alternator as it was damaged during my repair. It was at the dealership for 1 month exactly. Now we’re dealing with extremely cold temperatures and my windshield does not defrost at the bottoms where my windshield wipers sit. The wipers never defrost, I have to try and manually pick all the ice off the wipers so I can see out of my windshield while it’s snowing. The wipers need to be positioned higher up on the windshield, or they need the heat vents to be blowing lower on the windshield. My main screen it’s constantly glitching and my power running boards don’t work 80% of the time. Paying $116k for this vehicle is a large regret for me.

Perfect Road SUV
My wife, my dog Tutz and I like to travel. We’ve owned two other SUVs but have found that they don’t have enough room without feeling cramped. The 2023 Yukon Denali is the perfect size for traveling. We purchased the Denali with the Reserve Package, which includes Adaptive Cruise Control, SuperCruise, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, Panoramic sun roof, Rear Entertainment Center and other goodies. Of all the options available my favorite is the SuperCruise. I was lucky enough to find the Denali at a local dealership. Because the Denali is in such high demand the wait time for ordering and actually having one built is months. I was fortunate to find a Sterling Metallic loaded and not sold. It was built the next week and delivered three weeks later. All of that to say that if I’d ordered the Denali I would not have ordered the SuperCruise or the Rear Entertainment Center. The reason I wouldn’t have ordered the SuperCruise is because I’m old and set in my ways. Too me the idea that an SUV can steer itself is crazy. I’m mistaken. SuperCruise is GREAT! I’ve got carpel tunnel syndrome, which makes it difficult to keep my hands in the driving position for a long period of time. The SuperCruise allows me to take my hands off the wheel and relax. Crazy good technology. I would make sure that if you order a Denali make sure SuperCruise is included. My second favorite option is the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. I live in Jackson, Mississippi. As you may have heard we’ve had issues with our water supply. The recent cold weather didn’t help. We’ve got terrible streets where the busted pipes have been repaired. The roads are probably some of the worst in the country. The Denali ride has been far superior to any other car I’ve owned. Smooth with no “head shake”. I’m not happy with the $1995 Rear Entertainment System. It’s not intuitive and limited in what it can do. If ordering a Denali I would skip this option and purchase instead a few inexpensive tablets for the kids to use. Overall I absolutely love my Denali. It has to be one of the best if not the best SUV available.

No max towing package
Just got a 2023 Yukon XL Denali 3.0 Duramax , we were told it had the max trailering package , but there’s not even a trailer brake , also in tow mode it says engine brake but that doesn’t even work . We paid a lot of money for this rig and we have to buy a aftermarket trailer brake etc . Not sure if it will overheat yet but we are thinking about getting rid of this junk it only has 1200 km on it . Any info on this max trailering package that we were charged for on the sticker price .

Not user friendly
I swore off GM products after Obama violated bankruptcy laws and shareholder rights during the financial crisis of 2008-09. I rented a denali from hertz recently and from the moment I turned the car on I was frustrated. Drive and Reverse gears are pull levers. Stupid. The parking assist and crash sensors vibrate the drivers seat startling the crap out of the driver. The radio dial to change stations has a nagging delay. Folding down the third row seat is just a touch of a button BUT ONLY AFTER YOU HAVR TO UNLATCH A SEAT BELT WITH THE CUMBERSOME VALET KEY THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EXTRACT. I would NEVER pay 40,000 for this vehicle much less 80k or more. This is typical GM JUNK

The look, color, controls and the ride!
Ultimate Yukon
Have had 2 Lincoln Navigators. Decided to switch to ultimate Denali. Amazing interior. Great ride with air suspension. Handles well. A few minor things not as intuitive as the Lincoln. Overall a better value at 95k vs 105 or so for the Lincoln. Interior really sets it apart.

Yukon slt duramax
Love this truck. Owed for half a year. Only thing i would ask for is windshield wipers heaters. Some kind of heating strip under windshield. Wipers drops below dashboard and cant get heated enough to melt the ice off.
