Yukon Denali – I’ve driven a lot of big 4WDs over the years, but none come any bigger than the Yukon Denali that I’m chatting about here today.
The Denali is a genuine 8 seat 4WD. Its simply huge. Bigger than the LandCruiser of Patrol.
However, from the outside it’s deceptively styled to hide its bulk. Inside its apparent just how much space there is. Like the Silverado, off which it is based, there is plenty of room for front occupants. The middle and third row seats also will fit adults easily, but maybe two not three in the back row.
Its also packed with almost every conceivable luxury feature you could imagine.
Powered by a 6.2-litre V8 petrol engine. It provides some 313kW of power and 624Nm of torque. This drives all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission. The Denali has selectable driving modes including ‘Normal’, ‘Sport’, ‘Off-road’ and ‘Tow’ and an electronic limited-slip differential is standard.
It can get thirsty though.
While it has sound 4WD credentials, I for one would never take it very far off the black top. Those 24 inch rims and thin bits of rubber may be good for handling, but ride suffers. They wouldn’t last very long off road.
This is truly a one of a kind vehicle here in Australia. Its big, brash, and bold and I love it.
The Yukon Denali is priced from around $175,000 plus the usual costs.
