The 2021 GMC Yukon Denali is a Desirable Diesel Powered Luxury SUV 

Now that we've shown you guys all 3, between the Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade... which one is your favorite and why? Let us know below!

In my opinion ever since GMC and Chevy started making different looking vehicles GMC always looks better.

The GMC Yukon is one of the best looking SUV’s out there, I like the idea how GMC gave the Denali a different interior compared to the other trims and the Tahoe, I’ll choose the Yukon’s exterior with the Escalade’s interior. Great review Sofyan!

Huge fan of the channel and wanted to say I absolutely love that you guys keep in the bloopers lol. Gives it a nice breaking the 4th wall kinda feeling.

I bought one, w/diesel. It’s Boss.

The button for the center counsel is on the ceiling.

That door slam actually sounded shaky, but at least GM has finally designed a decent interior. Now they just need to put an interior like this in their pickup trucks.

I'm actually impressed with the interior design and perceived interior build quality. Good job, GM!

Have to step in say, no. I think they got it right with the mechanical gauges. I know a lot of people would rather have a full digital display, but having touches of mechanical to me, is more classic, so it speaks more luxury like to me. I feel going all digital would just feel cheaper, even if it isn't.

Great video , the dumpsters are looking good at the background ! LOL !

I never had or driven a GMC before. Last weekend we rented a 2022 GMC Sierra elevation package for a 1000km road trip. I enjoyed driving it so much. Very comfortable truck and it looked great. Now I am looking at this SUV for ourselves as we don't really need a truck and this seems to have the same comfortable interior as the truck.

Thank you for doing such a comprehensive review! I just hope this will fit in our new garage w/alley access... Cheers Doc

The Yukon is definitely the design winner for this generation. Love the AT4 trim 🤙🏻

Of the GM triplets the Yukon is my favorite!

The swag the Escalade used to have, on the outside, the Yukon picked up and ran with Easily the best looking of the 3 GM Full Size Utes

The Yukon is my favorite out of the 3. I love the rugged exterior!

Excellent review, you do a great job. Every time you said, "My Tester" I thought you were saying my Tesla. First time viewer so 🙂

It is very symbolic to shoot a video about this brand of car with a dumpster in the background. The hint is clear. Thanks.

You’re one of the best reviewers, and it’s hard to believe you didn’t find buttons to move central console…

The center console move button is where the sunroof buttons are!

Props to the exterior design team at GMC!

This is the best car review i've ever seen so far.

Great review as always. Keep up the great work. I will be buying this truck with the diesel. 4x4 with all the extras.

Excellent review as usual and I hope you'll be moving to 4K format soon as the image look a bit grainy on larger TVs .

The power slide center console has an unlabeled button on the control button group near the sunroof control. It is intentionally unlabeled for security purposes.

Another great review! Thank you!

I didn’t notice the jacket rustling until your camera guy pointed it out.

I'd def. pick this over the other two, the exterior and interior designs are so much more suitable for my liking especially the interior one, so cozy

this is the first review that opens the rear glass. I had no idea they did that.

GM needs to start offering a 'black out package' on all of their trucks and SUVs. Most people just aren't into vehicles bathed in chrome anymore, so they should give buyers a choice.

GMC said “ do you want some suv with your chrome?”

These things are gorgeous but wish I could afford one. So expensive

The center console might have the optional locking box in storage compartment, that could explain why it's "not as deep" and might be reason why it's not movable as well. And the button to control it is in lower middle of the roof button panel. ;)

I actually like these!! Excellent review.

The center console hidden cubby button is next to the sunroof controls.

Hello redline reviews, you have yet to review the ZL1... are we ever going to get that? I remember you saying you loved the redesigned camaro back in 2016 but have not covered the refresh or ZL1 trim.

I have a Mercedes 6 cylinder sprinter and i love the fuel economy so this is up my alley

Are the diesel versions more reliable than the regular 5.3 version ? Also can u get the 4x4 version with Diesel engine option.

This vehicle is astonishing

Good videos man very informative 👍

This thing looks more baller than the Escalade. Interior is not as nice but ain’t bad at all.

I think it could really add some value to your reviews, when comparing two model years (old vs new), just throw in a quick image of the old model for reference... or an example here was putting in an image of the blacked out grill as a visual guide...

I hope this man understands that every time he says , so so car company they should have this and this, it means more 💰💰💰💰💰

Finally, I'm not alone in saying the Yukon Denali looks better than Escalade! Great review as always!

That grill is so large I could cook brisket on it.

This is AWESOME with 4WD of course. I would definitely consider this.

nice, which trim has rear entertainment screens?

I love how the Denali looks

I really hope you get a chance to answer my other, recent post, but watching your review again, I thought of another question: Do you know, does the loaded Denali Ultimate have all the same mechanical/electronic internal features and resulting off road and bad weather capabilities that are in the loaded AT4? Other than the benefit of the larger tires and approach angle of the AT4 of course. And if it does, has it been de-tuned at all? Since I cannot get the AT4 with the diesel, it opens me up to seriously considering the Denali with the Diesel; and the loaded top Escalade either doesn't have all that internal stuff identically the same, or it is at least de-tuned for luxury making it less capable. Thanks.

really good review videos good job

damn this Grill is huge, this Grill can easy soak up small cars.

The center console mover button is on the ceiling near the dome lights and the sunroof control.

How is the interior noise? In the video it sounded quite loud in the cabin, I didn't notice you talking about noise in the cabin (maybe you mentioned it).

How is the Turbo lag both from stop signs and passing say 50-70 MPH. Is throttle response fairly instantaneous or does it hesitate?

How is this in the winter? Is there any problem starting in the winter like in -30 to -40?

I rented one in Seattle and LOVE IT!

Though it's nice that they are offering a diesel option, the Denali trim is synonymous for the 6.2 and personally I wouldn't get any other way.

Great review as always nice suv

But is it worth getting the diesel with diesel gas being more expensive? Does it offset?

Hi. I am planning on buying this car but I am still hesitant about which kind of fuel I should buy. Can you tell us more about the noise of the diesel? Is the sound from the machine noticeable when we seat in the car? How if we compare between diesel and 6.2l machine? Thanks and hope to see your help soon

Nice Dumpsters, are they included?

How’s the sound system? Do they have a premium audio option?

The noise from your jacket is quite distracting!

Nice vehicle. But where's the v8 duramax? Have we become that agitated by larger engines?! (And 3/4 ton SUVs?)

I agree that the gauges, especially on the Denalis, should've been fully digital. That said, I expect that GM wanted to save SOMETHING for the MCE (mid-cycle enhancement), and I have a sneaking suspicion that the mechanical tach and speedometer will disappear when the MCE comes along in three years or so.

Beautiful exterior and fantastic interior 👌

Solid review. Well done. You've provided more input about how the diesel drives than any other I've seen so far, though there is a driving scenario you did not mention that I wish you had, or maybe that you or some of the posters here might post and answer here: You mentioned that at speeds on the highway the diesel isn't as powerful passing other vehicles as the 6.2 liter was. I am wondering how this diesel would do at highway speeds on mountain turnpikes going uphill, if it will even accelerate to pass at all. And since you did mention the Sport mode, might putting it into Sport mode help its passing ability going up hills at speed. Also, how might the diesel engine do at high altitudes like in Colorado or Utah, or in sub freezing winter temperatures, say when you first start it up on a very cold morning. Any additional input like this would be welcome. Either way, thanks for a good review. (P.S. In case it helps with your input, it is the 4 wheel drive diesel I am considering, either the Denali or the Escalade, in either case the loaded top trim)

My favorite suv first one I bought in was 2005 denali in New York

You make great videos

If I was getting one, which I thought I wanted one, it would probably be this Yukon Denali, but I rented a Tahoe once, and compared to my three-row crossover, the space in this full size is just a bit excessive for my needs, and, compared to my current car, the extra 3" wide and 13" long will push my garage to its limits! Maybe when my kids are teens and we require more space, this will make it to my driveway.

Have they fixed the shutter/vibration issues of the past?!

Personally I do think they should’ve went to the digital dash also. My main concern they should’ve done is used the original or Escalade gear shifter and made the Navi screen all the way over. Go with the bigger screen

What would this model cost to lease?

Wonder what the chrome would look like if it was darker..hmm Very Nice looking either way.

My family plans on buying one of these when the inventory situation becomes better. I just I’m not sold on the diesel.

WHAT COLOR IS THE EXT/INT?? Kind of an important piece of info you left out of the review....

Way better! Because there’s actual cup holder in the back! (Not the door cup holder bs). Air suspension rides really smooth too

Looks Incredible

Love this new Yukon very luxurious

can the 3rd row seats be removed?

Is this trim the very dark ash gray / walnut interior color?

Man, no autopilot included yet. Nah, I’m waiting for autopilot to add in it... I’ll definitely buy it, no questions asked. :)

I noticed the Diesel doesn’t have a quad exhaust as in the 6.2L Denali version.

I like the interior more in the SLT then the Denali version. Sweet truck

Amazing that this engine is only $1K more than base engine and $1.5K less than the 6.2L V8. Nice pricing structure.

Is there any GMC yukon dinale new model here in Philippines?

Must have been an embargo on reviews. Both Straight Pipes and Red line dropped theirs at the same time

Does it have that desirable turbo spooling up whine?

thanks buddy i am big fan of this car😇i really want this man badly

WHY OH WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE A 4K CAMERA YET???????

Good Review 👍

Bruh your hair is REALLY coming back!

Interesting video... Are you trying to tell us something displaying, subliminally with the double Trash Dumpsters in the background, about this Awesome looking vehicle? Hmmm ...

After testing the Tahoe Z71, I'm not sure I would make the leap to the GMC models unless I cared that much about the styling. The Tahoe is so great that I don't think the sub Denali models really offer anything on the GMC side, but I do like that trim exclusive Denali dash....

Very eye catching truck

This SUV it's beautiful

You didn’t go over the controls above the rear view mirror, if you had you would have found the power control for the sliding center console. More secure that way

Have a 2017 Yukon; trans went @ 97k. Shame they did not put an Allison Trans on that 3.0l Diesel. If they did, I would take one.

Well that is truck based suvs that has been well but also I saw 2021 tahoe and suburban and Colorado and escalade in highway

E85 the 5.3L has 400 HP and 420 ibs/Ft Torque
