2024 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate (Duramax): Diesel Is The New Luxury! 

The deisel engines in this vehicle are incredible! We have this exact vehicle in the XL format and on highway driving get as much as 43 miles per gallon. This is a great engine. Not sure why we do not see more small deisel engines in the USA?

Absolutely gorgeous. I hope the market returns to a place where we can get these for 15-20% below MSRP. Shoot, It would be nice if all new vehicles got back to that. Thanks for the review!

Thank you Ben. It is interesting to see the GMC Yukon and all the features and luxury items offered. The fuel economy is great for the size and weight of the vehicle. That price... that is another story for another day.

Great video as always. Man, I love the mountains in the background! I just picked up a 2023 Suburban High Country with the 3.0 Duramax for the family car and we love it. Our first diesel and I have to say, I am very impressed. I get 30mpg highway with the family in it and 21 city. Not bad for a SUV that tips the scales at over 6,000lbs. I'm coming from a 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage and though you can't beat the reliability of the LC, America just does full-size SUVs better in my opinion. with the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty, I'm not too worried. Even with the third row up, the cargo space feels never ending. Toyota really messed up in this area when it came to the new Sequoia.

So when can we get that panoramic moonroof in the pick up trucks that are similarly priced?

Greetings Benjamin. The SUV of the lustrum! 😮 Perfect miniDuramax, you did it well GMC!! 😊

I'd love to get the Denali Ultimate, but I really want the Night Vision that comes with the Escalade. It works great in blizzards and bad fog to see vehicles in front of you, and of course, to see Bigfoot better. I wish the Ultimate came with a black leather option instead of only that brown too, though as far as brown's go it is a nice one.

My dad bought a 23 Yukon XL Denali Ultimate after owning an 08 Yukon Denali with zero issues. Only other vehicle he was looking at was MB. You can’t tell me a MB from 08 would have had zero issues.

I like it better than the Escalade - i never liked those long crazy tail lite’s. - the diesel is an excellent motor. Might get the Denali without the ultimate ? Gonna go check the 2 out .

100K for a GM product. This is a very nice looking SUV, but 100K...

5:09 it only has the 1 stalk because a second one on the other side would interfere with access to the touch screen and PRND controls.

Gmc built a awesome suv love the interior TV in the front seats cool suv

Gmc denali ultimate diesels are my favorites

Don't think that getting the additional headrest speakers, unique leather and wood trim, and Vadar chrome is worth the $20K premium GMC is asking for this rig.

Amazing Yukon in a good way. Amazing price in a bad way. 100k for these is just nuts.

I love my Diesel Denali with the exception of the seats. The seats are not comfortable for medium to long drives! I hope they improve the seats moving forward, if not this will be my last one.

2:11 the brown box contains the headphones for the rear entertainment system.

It is a Gorgeous thing. It’s the only GM vehicle I like.

Ok, I would like to see more diesel vehicles. They get so much better mpg

Is the diesel engine loud while driving?

This is beautiful, the more often I see it, the more I want one. A question. Can a larger cold air intake be put under the hood with this diesel like it could with a v8, and would it offer a similar increase in power and mpg? Or does that just not work with a diesel? I'm hoping it might help with the higher altitude of ski country here in Utah. And your reference to Wallsburg, I think that is down near or just past Sandy, do you know how long a drive it would be from there to say Alta or Solitude to go skiing? Oh, and I heard that the improved diesel comes in the 2025 model year, 305 hp and 490 torque I believe. Nice.

Do the Escalade Denali comparison I'm trying to decide

GMC GOAT! 🇺🇸

GMC Yukon is the goodness I like that

I miss the standard 3 person , 2nd row seating style . It’s a lot more practical && can fit more adults than kids with that style-seating

If I'm able to get this, I gotta do something about that exhaust...lol😅

I like the leather interior 👍🏽

I rode in an EQS last week and I was not impressed. What I experienced is consistent with the low score Mercedes got from consumer reports.

I'm trading in my 2023 Escalade ESV Sport 6.2 gas for the new Improved 2025 305 horsepower 3.0 diesel Denali XL

That's one good looking SUV and it has a diesel.I can see truck drivers probably rocking this vehicle.

Do you know someone who won't to get ride of one

The blinking lights on the stearing wheel are annoying.🙄

We're looking at this and Escalades. We had the same conversation. This thing is as nice as the Escalade.

Looking at this 3.0 Diesel... does it require the DEF fluid. Friend has a nice truck but the DEF sure ads to his fuel bill... if required, how much does it ad to a gallon of gas? Thanks.

My new favorite 😍😍

Cadillac escalade is the best , and I hope that the next generation to work by AI .

555 miles of range What’s the gas tank size?

2024 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate 3.0L Duramax Diesel 10-Speed Automatic 4X4!

100k? OMG?

It seems under-powered for a diesel. Fuel economy numbers are decent but the cost of diesel may offset any gains and at $100K you're buying the GMC Denali name only...

what about feul economy

The Escalade has a center consul cool box that’s the difference between wealthy and wanna be wealthy. Sheesh Ben 🙄 !

Warning if you are buying one of these in Canada the rear infotainment does not work without you having to go buy a dvd player or a streaming device it is a total joke !!! $130k truck sold with a non working rear infotainment

Benn my mom👩 likes gmc suburban 97😊

How could something this weak, cost so much

Ben “from a ‘x’ perspective” Hardy

Looks like a great road trip vehicle. I would pass on the diesel though, with diesel fuel still $1 a gallon more, plus all the maintenance costs and unknown long-term reliability, I'd rather stick to the 6.2 gas engine.

1500.00+ lease payment- you can lease a 7 series or S class for that- I think GM has lost their minds-

I'd never buy it new,way too costly.

Way to quiet for a duramax

It doesn't get the LZ0? Wait for 2025~ there is no reason to buy this thing.

$100k 😂😂😂😂

I wonder how many of these will be destroyed by clueless soccer moms accidentally filling w/ unleaded.

Way overpriced and too weak only 3.0L and 277H.P :( NOT GOOD AT ALL !!

Get that over that junk Lexus bud

It’s texture like you would find in actual full grain leather.

$100,000. People really like throwing away money on these mundane vehicles as if its a high end Mercedes.
