Brian , Does Super Cruise work with the Navigation destination?

[@mokeshe_robbi6828]

You are the only one who makes a short but sweet way of introducing this gigantic beast of the 2023 Yukon Denali ULTIMATE XL. No one has made an in-depth review of this car so far outside. I always watch your review more than I remember and suggest it to many people. I wish you could make a more extensive and complete review of the 2023 Yukon Denali ULTIMATE XL in the future. Thank you!

I'm so jealous of you guys in America with these vehicles, I live in the UK and we get "woah, check out the new generic hatchback", "oh hey, another generic hatchback", "Coming soon, the 2023 generic hatchback"

[@TermlessHGW]

I'm from Europe living in the states and I'm jealous of all the different estates you've got there...

[@defyyourlogic487]

I think most estates are hideous but I refuse to believe an actual European made this comment.

[@314jrock]

In America, we get a lot of generic SUVs.

[@largol33t1]

I wonder why Range Rover never offered totally customized versions of their vehicles with TVs, self-tinting windows, massaging seats, cocktail cabinets, etc...

[@largol33t1]

I live in the US and have no interest in these old gas hogs. They are from a bygone era of cheap gas. Nobody but the wealthy will ever be able to afford these especially with soaring prices and inflation combined. The center console arm rest is from a truck that is over 11 years old! It is clever how they hide how old the design really is.

[@frankfrank9437]

All I have to say is that GM did a Top notch job on these vehicles. I don't know how they are going to top themselves. These vehicles are absolutely beautiful. The Tahoe's are the same way. Absolutely gorgeous 🥰. Beautiful design inside and outside, love it, love it!!!! Thanks for the awesome video Brian!!!!

For everyone saying “at this price point I’d just go Escalade”. Very big difference in repairs. Even though it’s the same part, if it doesn’t say Cadillac on it, she won’t work. Trust me, 2008 Escalade owner here

So excited...Had a 23' Denali XL , 3 weeks after getting it home a guy T-boned me and insurance totaled it out with only 1200 miles on it because the cam pin was beyond repair on the frame. THANK GOD FOR GAP INSURANCE because I was able to get my full price back and upgraded to the Ultimate with Duramax for almost what I Paid for the Denali XL

@ 0:20 I can see the base of the silver edge of the drive side door being off with the back door. Cheap quality. I would buy the Lexus LX

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

That is an absolutely beautiful Yukon XL. Love the blacked out front grille, the interior looks amazing and highway quality, the cargo area looks like the size of a single car garage. Thanks for a peek at the Yukon Brian. The price is a couple dollars more than I could afford. 😆👍🏻

It's amazing to me how we just talk about spending $100k on a truck like it's $100. Most of our parents if you were born in the 70's/80's, spent that on a home. How times have changed & costs. I never thought I'd drop 70-100k on a truck, but I did on mine as well. Beautiful truck!

Nice quad tip exhaust. Excellent review Brian. No super cruise on a $98k Denali is absurd. It's a hot SUV, but $98k...I'd go Cadillac at that point. It is an amazing and beautiful SUV though. WOWza

[@1oldarmyguy]

According to GMC Super Cruise will be an option available later, but not on first production vehicles. But I agree, at this price point it should be, without question.

[@SignatureAJ]

There isn't no super cruise because of a chip shortage which is why you aren't paying for it.

[@Bill-ck3lo]

@@SignatureAJ I'm well aware of the chip shortage affecting top of the line vehicles. My point is, I'm not paying for it without that tech and would go elsewhere.

[@richbarrett]

Thanks for showing us this! If I had $100k to drop on this, I'd go buy it from Brian. And I totally agree that the only design flaw is not extending the Vader chrome to the side trim. Otherwise, beautiful.

[@georgedoolittle9015]

*"the elegance of a brick being thrown through a Stained Glass Window piece"* more like it other than great towing capacity not much being offered here. Better off buying a Freightliner in point of fact. Auto sales projected to be around 11 million in 2022 with Tesla set to *DOMINATE* vehicle sales in the USA for Calender Year 2023 would be an understatement Gorilla Glass and all. Still way better than the overpriced pieces of junk GM et al were selling after the September 11, 2001 terrorist plane bombing of the USA which led to the entire Industry going BK.

[@richbarrett]

@@georgedoolittle9015 I have no idea what you're trying to communicate. I do own a Suburban, manufactured in October 2001. We've put 375,000 miles on it and it still tows a 6,000lb boat. It was also expensive when new ($44k) but in terms of TCO, it's been the least-expensive vehicle we've ever owned (until Biden drove gas to $4).

[@heut4384]

No...there's more flaw than just a chrome trim. Can you say, "maintenance?" Lol. These Yukon I've seen, are NOT reliable in the last 30 years. I would rather buy something that will last.

[@georgedoolittle9015]

@E M *BURN BABY BURN* you got get 'em Gas Guzzler USA!

[@largol33t1]

You should look at GM's website. The interior color and wheel choices are almost nonexistent. If Government Motors wants $100 grand for this thing why can't we customize the interior a little bit more. And not everyone has four kids and a cat and dog. Why no 2-door version? They haven't made one in almost 11 years.

[@heritagecarpetcleaningrest309]

This is a awesome SUV. I'm still a fan of regular chrome. GMC and this Vadar chrome is great. Awesome way to spend $100 Gs!!

[@jenniferkrysa2570]

My husband just got his, came with super cruise and massaging seats! It’s pretty amazing !

I would choose this magnificent beast over the Lincoln Navigator hands down!! This one really gives the Cadillac Escalade a run for it’s money when it comes to presence. Wow!

[@atg1338]

[@johnmorrison8351]

We have a 21 Denali XL which is excellent. My wife was excited when the Ultimate was announced but honestly, I don’t think it gains enough to justify a trade. I do like massaging seats though 😒

[@Ih8chew]

Yeah at this price point I’d just go on and get an Escalade. On another note, with the amount of people that de-chrome their Denali’s why hasn’t GMC offered a blacked out version? That’s yet another reason I’d opt for the Escalade as it’s available without chrome.

[@dothedishes3427]

Denali has buttons, and Escalade is much more electronic. So you have to click through pages to get to what you want in it.

Today 98k, next month 80k, next year 70k, 2 yrs later 60k, 3yrs later 50k, 6 yrs later 35k. For 98k I'd get a Land cruiser all day. Anyone pays over 90k for an American SUV or trucks (except diesel) is a fool.

can't you customize and change the look back to analog display in the settings?

[@2thelight]

[@JS-pm9im]

I currently have the Sierra Denali ultimate with the Duramax in comparison this is nicer however it looks like the reused more regular Denali bits on the interior compared to the sierra as the dash leather is the same forge leather that comes in the regular which looks out of place vs the sierra where it actually matches the rest, and the A and B pillar is not micro suede like in the sierra and the escalade, it sort of looks like they built it with scraps laying around out of the parts bin lol same goes on the exterior with both the sierra and the Yukon why could they not put the Vader chrome on all the exterior accents and badges, when spending the money they want for these trims attention to detail needs to be absolute, the other thing is dislike on the sierra vs the 21's is they removed the rear door unlock button but it is nice to see that the yukon still has it. they also should have put the same 22's that came with sierra denali ultimate as they look way better IMO

[@Ketokonstructed]

Does it comes with Satin Chrome?

[@golf18mike]

[@Nate-zy5ce]

Beautiful vehicle, for sure. Personally, I wish they replaced all the shiny chrome with the new, darker vader chrome. I love that vader chrome up front, and were I do get one of these I might pay after market to black out the remaining shiny chrome, though I'd keep the vader chrome as is. I love that this comes with the adjustable lumbar support and massaging front row seats. I wish it could come with the night vision capability, since that is great for various reasons, among them it is great in bad fog. I do like the brown leather, but I would still prefer if it could come with all black leather seats without the white beading as an option. This is the XL, and I would get the regular length not the XL, only because I don't need that extra footage, but for those who do need it, very nice for sure. Lastly, I do wish I could get thicker rubber sidewalls such as with an 18" or 20" wheel as an option, but that's just because I am in mountainy rough road ski country, but I must admit those 22"ers do look very nice, and I did hear you say how buttery smooth they drive, so I'd still get this if I had to get it with 22's. I might also add rain guards on the front and second row side windows, just because I think those look so good, add just a little something extra to the appearance. And I love the flat surface in the center infront of the center console on either side of the phone charger and cupholder space, a perfect place to put a laptop to help use the parked suv as a mobile office space, just slide the console back part way to give that extra space, and perfect, a more spacious level laptop space than even what's on the Denali AT4. All in all, a great suv!
