Classy and upscale, not garish
Strong acceleration
Serious towing ability
Luxurious interior
Dislikes
XL models are tough to park
Dismal fuel economy
Tough access to tight third-row seats
Third row won’t fold flat
The 2009 GMC Yukon Denali and Yukon XL Denali are full-size body-on-frame sport-utility models that are mechanically similar to the standard GMC Yukon models, along with GM’s Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and Cadillac Escalade. But exclusive powertrain and luxury features set the plush, luxurious Denali models apart from the rest of the line and warrant this separate review.
