BLING BATTLE! -- 2021 Cadillac Escalade vs. 2021 GMC Yukon Denali: Comparison

[@temur72]

GM finally not being cheap when it comes to the interior materials and design

[@largepizza2185]

Except your msrp push pull drive selection

[@andrewmartin4387]

If you get a non-denali version of the Yukon it has the same interior styling as Tahoe.

[@Aroncare]

If u say so

[@temur72]

Heyyy daddy what does dat mean?

[@TurtleGlo]

Only until all the wiring shorts because of 10/10 GM engineering.

[@mikedior3089]

The Denali is amazing, but of course the Escalade for the interior design 🤩

[@tww15tube]

That Denali grill though!! I gotta give the exterior to Yukon. Of course GM isn't dumb enough not to give the Escalade the better interior. I would take the Yukon.

[@wrzl1675]

I’d pick the Yukon Denali without a second thought

[@tofertallman2512]

I drive my employer's new Escalade on a 2 hour trip every week. It really does make me feel like I'm better than everybody else.

[@Kocis19]

Hahahaha maybe you are Tof. Hapoy holidays

Best, most honest comment ever. Status symbolism is so powerful.

[@jerrys1678]

🤣🤣🤣

[@mightywombat869]

Yukon exterior combined with Escalade interior would be perfect 👌 But if I had to choose one, Id pick the Yukon! Great work guys!

[@kjprettyboi99]

I agree ☝️

[@sslamd]

I agree, I just dont like what they did with the headlights on the escalade. All that space and tiny rectangular shaped headlights. They look terrible.

[@youbabouymjjane2773]

Me too bro i love the gmc is better than the escalade

[@AllDayErrDay.]

I like the Escalade exterior more. But the Yukon sure is a beauty.

[@woldeabross3263]

The Cadillac will always win in my books. These reviews are top-notch, keep up the great work Greeting from Jamaica

[@CarConfections]

Thank you, friend!

[@fullydetta5859]

Outside My G🇯🇲⚡

[@mybro727]

That dark colored open pore wood in the GMC Yukon Denali is so beautiful. It reminds me of the beautiful dark wood in my 2020 A6 rental. GM knocked these trucks out of the ballpark!

[@l337haxs]

I went with the 2021 Yukon Denali, it is the perfect mix of both in my eyes and the front end looks amazing!

[@jessebillingslea8297]

[@chavov0437]

Just love the yukon Denali better....more of a muscular look especially the front end ....good video

[@hellkitty1014]

LOVE the return of the comparison format! This one was really tricky because as similar as the vehicles are, there is enough to differentiate. I spent a little seat time in a loaded 2021 Denali and it is hard to put into words the quantum leap in refinement and quality it has over the 2020. While it still feels large, the driving experience is far more enjoyable. Better steering makes it less ponderous and obviously the suspension is a galaxy away from the 2020. It is so good, in fact, that I am really curious about the Escalade and its extras.

[@krystaljohnson5971]

The GMC grill let you know it’s COMING NOCE!

[@BeeNeeLimitless]

I got the escalate for my Christmas 🎄 I wish to all you like me. Happy new year!

[@bnnyboyy101]

Im so happy Cadillac didnt fumble the ball w this escalade redesign its amazing.

[@laronmiller5711]

I'll pick the Yukon

[@sheltonalberty6501]

Laron Miller I feel you on that

[@insayn7995]

Same

[@pete4261]

The interior on the Escalade is on another level.

[@mariowhyte2816]

I missed these epic comparisons!!! Thanks for the upload guys!!!

[@CarConfections]

More of them coming soon!

[@Ronmexico211]

Gimme the Escalade... The infotainment system finally makes it look 🔥

[@Zenvo-uu9tm]

Denali for rugged and muscular, Escalade for refined with luxurious edge. Both are great vehicles. Personally, i would go with upcoming Hummer EV😂

[@errolmayt]

I own a Escalade 2020 if I were to buy a 2020 Denali I would be settling for what I do not want, or just don’t have enough $$$for the Escalade plain n simple!!!

[@paulamaral8029]

Tahoe Escalade failure no led fogs Denali is the winner ....when your paying over $70gs led fogs is a must

[@2010Supertube]

Somehow, I knew you would be asking this question. First, the Cadillac is, without a doubt, still “ the King” of the suv! There is no comparison to all of the others who try hard. The pinnacle of SUV’s. So to drive one, heads do turn. However, the fact that the GMC Yukon has such high success, style and beauty, my money goes to the Yukon Denali. Thanks Drew and Mason! 🤗👍

[@kevinstrang11]

I'm on my 4th Denali "05" "07" "11" "16" . Why pay extra for the Escalade when the Denali is basically the same truck on the exact same platform. But you can't go wrong with either choice

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

Nothing like someone calling an obvious SUV a “truck”!

[@georgeolvera6057]

A KZbin Channel with no name I know more people that call them trucks than people who call them SUVS

[@kevinstrang11]

@@AKZbinChannelwithNoName Like I said I've owned 4 different Yukon Denali over the past 15 years and whenever I took it in the dealership for service they always referred to it as my truck . Truck, SUV , whatever, I still love my Denali

[@kevinstrang11]

@@georgeolvera6057 Agreed

[@jakes5530]

A KZbin Channel with no name if it’s body on frame it’s a truck. If it’s unibody it’s a crossover. The denali escalade and tahoe are all trucks.

[@jacquelineenggasser2304]

I own a 2015 Yukon Denali now, but boy oh boy, I’m really loving that Cadillac

[@drpuneetbhatia]

They both look good... but I rather choose the Escalade

[@phyrexianjudgement]

i wish i had money to just fix my 2 door 95 yukon, want it to look old outside but have like a luxury interior like todays yukons

[@jax1079]

Really looking forward to testing that Escalade. Great breakdown! Loved all the details. 👍🏻

[@elegantsedits]

The GMC grill though!! Cadilac will always win for me, but still very impressed with the GMC.😊

[@rlmpproductions]

I remember years back when customers were complaining that the big chrome rims and the large speakers were too urban and ghetto. Now it's the standard!

[@kareeminyourdream]

This was such a fantastic video to watch. Thank you for thinking of making this comparison. Awesome channel

[@CarConfections]

Thanks so much! We appreciate that! 😁

[@rejeandesjardins5922]

Good review. I would take the Escalade for my wife and the Yukon for me.

[@sarashepard7504]

Go with the car with more analog features over a computerized system. It’s going to be a nightmare to fix all the glitches and malfunctions in the new tech system cars.

[@Josue166]

Great Video. I work with Escalade and really enjoy watching your videos for some info I might forget to mention during a walk around. Cheers to you and your team

[@drewbenefield2001]

I would get the Escalade! Stay safe guys!! 😬😉

[@statoms]

Is it just me or the Escalade is kinda..slow..

[@mlfreitas4832]

I’m going Denali 2500 Durmax in the next couple of months. It’ll be matched with a 25’ Airstream Globetrotter. See ya on the road

[@Garminrules]

Now we're talkin....something useful.

[@micahdixon3033]

Bought a new denali in 17. It currently has 44k miles. I'll stay this, nomatter what either is, its more bs to tear up. Other than the 6.2 motor, the rest, no matter how nice they are, is junk. Either will be in the shop multiple times for dumb issues.

[@mauriciowinston5293]

Thank you!!! And that's the truth, and the reason I will never go back to GM.

[@dbettis6477]

Agree 100%

[@nalietmiranda7450]

The Denali is the one for me. To me it has more of a rugged look . That’s just me.

[@rolandroy6885]

I'm working on getting the Denali XL this year 😁

[@xolanikhumalo9267]

Wow dankie for the superb review...seeing this from South Africa.keep them coming!

[@leroy5202]

I feel the big difference between the two is the Escalade having the big screens.

[@japanjack62]

The GMC has always been the best looking of the GM full sized SUVs. I would only buy a CPO, I can't imagine spending close to $90,000 for a vehicle only to have it be worth $60,000 the next year......

[@chriss6356]

i am not a fan of GM, but the interior of the escalade is top notch. Better than any mercedes or bmw interior for sure.

[@BIGJBIGEBIGC]

The GMC looks like it’s worth more than the Escalade from the outside

[@VAF84]

Can’t thank you enough for this comparison. We’ve been back and forth, and not many outlets out there doing a detailed comparison of the two. Hard to pass up the value on the Yukon, but we’ll probably end up with an Escalade with less options rather than the Yukon fully loaded. Base Escalade likely to retain it’s value better than a fully loaded Yukon.

[@dwayneyoseph2171]

I'd pick the Denali. It looks better in my opinion and everything else isquite comparable to the Escalade

[@stefanielacy7371]

Denali Grill Tho’ for the Win!!

[@perrysolomon6020]

Thank you for this because if you're shopping one, you're shopping the other

[@IstanbulBeautyOne]

Agreed, thanks for great report straight to the point and informative ✅

[@cricketbenningfield7268]

Great comparison!!! You guys are the best!!!

[@PatriceOnPurpose]

I'm all for the Escalade simply because they redesigned the gear shift and removed it from the steering wheel, which makes better sense since it's not a pick up truck. I rather the 2014 body style which was visually appealing

[@meeralrafee1875]

Nothing wrong with a column shifter but it should have been modernized like a Mercedes GL or like a new Hyundai. One thing about last gen was it felt cheaper than what you got in like a 2012 model.

[@warbird421]

Comparing grapes to wine, there both the same just ones a little fancier.

[@benjaminedmundson1704]

Escalade for me. Denali is the top trim for GMC. Wish you had the Platinum Escalade to compare.

[@ahmadmarei1745]

Escalade for sure! When you say a luxury SUV, then THE ESCALADE stands out on every level...can't wait to get one 😁😍

[@zach8248]

These trucks are very similar however you don’t have the top trim level of the Escalade, the platinum, which is equivalent to the Denali trim.

[@leanwest]

This kind of luxury vehicles doesn't exist in Argentina, Love both are amazing!!!

[@iamDarwyn]

They are both nice vehicles. But the Yukon is my choice. It's just so much more appealing. The Cadillacs dash is simply amazing. If they could switch interiors...smh

[@kyruntyree3891]

I hate the long tail lights on the Escalade

[@MikeMaye]

Both great vehicles. Cadillac all the way for me though. Great review guys ! I love the comparison vids definitely do more of these

[@lukejeung4615]

Thank you, Thank you and Thank you for this comparison. Also not forgetting signature INTRO.

[@CarConfections]

Haha glad you enjoyed!

[@GmanG90]

Thx for the comparisons on these two giants of luxury, I like both but I'm a Cadillac man all day long. I live in the D.C. Area and when you see The Big Black Cadillac coming down the road it looks presidential and powerful. King of big SUV's.

[@seanjackson2137]

10:34 i love the sound it makes when they accelerate without flooring it

[@mosmith76]

I priced out the new Escalade and the Sport model was $105K. So about I think the price difference is more like $20K - $25K difference. Both look like great SUVs.

[@yes8032]

Escalade my pick

[@phillip147]

I think both are great but when you get a Yukon Denali all maxed out in options, you're at about $93,000 and the maxed-out Escalade Platinum is about $120,000 so if you have the extra money I would spend the extra $30,000 to get the escalade, I grew up with Denali's and Escalade's so in my opinion you can't go wrong with either they're both amazing cars.

[@michaelcheatham7665]

This is a comparison I have often wondered about...Great great info...The Escalade would be my choice. Thanks guys!

[@CarConfections]

Glad you enjoyed the video! 😁

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Howdy, awesome comparison as always y’all! I’d personally go for a well equipped, non Denali, Yukon!😸😻😸

[@boristurner2286]

Escalade 2021: AKA- Most Awsome vehicle of choice ever!

[@mexicosistemas]

Very nice Review I would choose de Scalade, but Yukon look Great. 👍

[@benomax6429]

Nice job

[@vvt2257]

Even though the Yukon has more cargo space and seating space I’m still choosing the Escalade because it’s has more tech in it and it simply looks better than the Yukon in my opinion

[@TheBrandonbc]

If enough money for an Escalade, you also get a RANGE ROVER... These are basically raised minivans. The ROVER is not only one of the most luxurious, but its also the most capable SUV.

[@elijah1665]

My mom got the Cadillac and it’s soooo nice!! I love it so much

[@markus_54alayleomontalvo11]

I like the escalade cause of the lights that’s why I love luxury cars

[@ihsankhan7978]

I would like to both of these the best, I love them

[@jorgeluistonuellassr.4454]

There both good looking vehicles, but I still love the GMC YUKON DENALI. I always have.

[@midlifechrisis8164]

Yikes the Yukon’s back end looks like a terrain tho. I’m not buying an $85k terrain lol

[@tpndgo2061]

🥴 ?

[@jordanstewart1915]

Chris P well these aren’t for broke people like you

[@midlifechrisis8164]

Davion Stewart HAHA, *knows nothing about me*. I’m saying I’m not spending $85k on a car that looks like that. Especially with GM’s engineering. I’d rather have a GLS, X7, or Model X for that price

[@MzHKellz]

Will probably purchase the Escalade.

[@spengg_shell]

I'd take both but if I had the money I'm picking the Escalade hands down. GM clearly knocked it out of the park with the tech and interior in the Escalade.

[@multiluxem2218]

In my opinion, both look great but I prefer Escalade. One thing I don't like about Yukon is there's too much chrome for the grill, which makes it look kind of weird. Yukon AT4 looks fantastic.

[@Phez8]

Depends on what day it was. - but I could be satisfied with either one!

[@nativenewyorker2490]

Denali for me. GMC has a bit of ruggedness to it, just like me!

[@SoLA489]

I’m a chauffeur and we use the black Escalades and this model from the front doesn’t stand out as much as the current design :/

[@luchio6675]

Escalde I own a 2016 and I love now this new one is a dream

[@BeautifulSinner13]

You are comparing apples to oranges. One of the only problem I see is that you picked the highest trim level in the 2021 GMC Yukon and an entry level 2021 Cadillac Escalade. 90% of Escalades have the Rear Entertainment package. (DVD). Please don't call it a mid-level Escalade. It is entry level. Good job 👏

[@frankfrank9437]

I love them both and would love to have both of them, beautiful job GM! Like the interior of the YUKON. The steering wheel is what I look at because I have to have a 4 prong steering wheel because I cannot hold my arms in a 10/2 position due to my disability so the Tahoe and Yukon are the ones I would have to go with unless it was last generation of the Escalade!

[@deemacc5418]

Escalade already!!🔥🔥💪🏾

[@billm7035]

This didn’t age well. You cant find an Escalade under $105k right now. Lol

[@AdrianKurian]

I wish the Denali had the back design of the Escalade

[@denvernuggets007]

For that price! definitely the Yukon Denali.

[@martysresidential8582]

I've been a denali fan for the past 4 vehicles...I'm sticking with the denali

[@wilsonamaechi1856]

Definitely picking that baby Escalade anytime

[@blacqsmiththebanga]

I would definitely choose the escalade 2021

[@adoniadaniel3383]

Yo u should do the 2021 escalade vs 2020 navigator

[@isabella8885]

Both beautiful and stunning but for me The Escalade any day 💕

[@ladyangeles8698]

GM - Exterior (front car view) and speaks expensive on the outside. Escalade - Interior and (Back Car view) speaks Luxurious inside. (Based on my likings😁)

[@veteransforequality7347]

Might as well get the Cadillac

[@raymondbadilla4211]

I would definitely get the Cadillac!

[@deemacc5418]

4 year warranty cmon man thats a win!!!🔥🔥💪🏾

[@jakes5530]

On Cadillac's website when you build and price an Escalade to have all the same options as a fully loaded Denali, the price difference is more than $15k between the two. Im sorry, but that's absurd. The only real difference is a SLIGHTLY better interior in the Caddy.

[@robloxiandino4454]

Jake Stoler it’s more than slightly

[@jakes5530]

Robloxian Dino the only thing you get is more speakers and a bigger screen.
