2007 GMC Yukon and Denali Review
GMC redesigns its large SUVs for 2007, giving them more power, new features, and fresh styling. Yukon and longer-wheelbase Yukon XL models share a new platform with the '07 Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban.
Yukon and Yukon XL come in SLE, SLT, and luxury Denali models. SLE and SLT offer rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive that can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing. Denalis have specific styling and all-wheel drive without low-range gearing.
Standard on 2WD SLE models is a 295-hp V8. A 320-hp V8 is optional on those and is standard on other Yukons. Available on XL is a 355-hp V8. These engines use a 4-speed automatic transmission and have GM's Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. Denali gets a 380-hp V8 and 6-speed automatic transmission. ABS and traction/antiskid control with rollover sensors are standard. GM's self-adjusting Autoride suspension is available on SLT, standard on Denali. Standard on SLT and Denali, and optional on SLE, are curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows and include rollover deployment.
Yukons seat up to nine passengers, Denalis up to eight. On all, the 2nd- and 3rd-row seats fold and the 3rd row is removable. As in GM's other large SUVs, a spring release option flips the 2nd-row seats to provide 3rd row access.
OnStar assistance is standard. A power liftgate, remote engine start, rear obstacle detection, and power-adjustable pedals are standard on Denali, available on other models. DVD entertainment and a navigation system with rearview camera are also available. Yukon's performance and accommodations mirror those of comparably equipped Tahoes; our Tahoe report also includes an evaluation of the Denali.

Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large SUVs are traditionally workhorse seven-plus passenger wagons with brawny truck-type chassis, ample towing ability, lots of cargo space, and generally poor fuel economy. These vehicles offer towing and payload ratings similar to large pickup trucks.
Our Best Buys include Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, and GMC Yukon and Denali. Our Recommended pick is the Ford Expedition.
New or significantly redesigned models include the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Denali, and Ford Expedition.

News
Though just redesigned, Yukons and their Chevrolet siblings are expected to add a hybrid powertrain option for 2008. The result of a GM-DaimlerChrysler-BMW collaboration, this new "two-mode" system is said to use twin electric motors and a 300-volt battery pack to assist a 5.3 V8 with GM's Active Fuel Management. It allows low-speed driving on either power source, and promises better overall fuel economy than conventional powertrains. Rival Dodge's midsize Durango SUV will offer a similar hybrid option in the '07 or '08 model years.
Further out, General Motors says it may offer a 330-hp diesel V8 for its largest SUVs by model-year 2010. GM is cagey about details for now, but says this new diesel will be a 32-valve dual-overhead-cam design--and clean enough for sale in all 50 states. GM projects a Yukon so equipped would get around 28 mpg in city driving vs. 21 for a comparable gas-engine model.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
No XL models made available for testing. Regular-length Yukons muscular off the line and in highway passing/merging. Despite extra horsepower, Denali's 6.2 feels only slightly stronger than 5.3 V8. Transmissions provide crisp, timely shifts. Denali's automatic has shift lever buttons for manual operation. Towing capacity is 7700 lb for regular-length models, 8100 lb for XL.
| 2WD SLE | 2WD SLT w/nav. sys. | 4WD SLT w/20-in. whls., Autoride, nav. sys. | Denali w/20-in. whls. | Class Average |

Fuel Economy
Test averages: 16.7 mpg for 2WD SLE, 14.4-14.8 for 4WD SLT, 13.5-14.4 for Denali. GMC recommends regular-grade fuel for SLE and SLT, premium for Denali.
The 5.3 V8 can use E85 fuel.

The 5.3 V8 can use E85 fuel.
Ride Quality
Yukons with 17-inch tires have carlike comfort over bumps, though suffer some floaty motions over dips and swells. Autoride (standard on Denali) quells some float, but doesn't add demonstrably to ride comfort. Impact harshness over sharp bumps exaggerated by short sidewalls of 20-inch tires.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Steering has light effort that benefits around-town maneuverability, but can feel overassisted at highway speeds--a sensation that seems to be exaggerated slightly with 20-inch tires. Though tall and heavy, Yukons suffer relatively little noseplow, body lean in turns. Testers divided on whether versions with Autoride feel any more confident in changes of direction. Brakes offer no-drama stopping power, solid pedal feel.

Brakes offer no-drama stopping power, solid pedal feel.
Quietness
Impressive for a large SUV. Road noise well muted. Only evident wind rush is around outside mirrors. Denali's 6.2 V8 sounds louder, less refined during acceleration than 5.3 V8.

Controls
All gauges large but some testers find markings too indistinct for best legibility. Optional navigation system absorbs, but doesn't complicate, audio functions. Cabin has few soft-touch panels, but materials are generally solid to the touch and assembled with care to create a high-quality ambience, even on SLE versions. Denali gets added dress-up touches.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Bench or buckets, seats are supportive. Ample head, leg room, though cramped center position on bench should be for emergency use only. Available power-adjustable pedals aid driver positioning. Visibility unobstructed by headrests or roof pillars, but body's tall flanks block driver's view of small nearby objects; rearview camera helps in this regard.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Adult-comfortable 2nd row. Available automatic-folding seats spring forward to ease access to 3rd row, though passage is still tight, and seats must be manually restored to original position. Low-to-floor 3rd-row cushion forces knees-up discomfort for anyone over toddler size.

Cargo Room
Spacious with two rows of seats. Second-row seats fold forward to expand cargo volume. No abundance of storage room behind 3rd row. Folded 3rd row seatbacks rest well above load floor, complicating loading of large items. Those seats unlatch easily, but are heavy and cumbersome to remove.

Value within Class
All of GM's redesigned 2007 large SUVs improve on their 2000-2006 predecessors in handling, refinement, comfort, and interior design. Yukon is pitched as an upscale alternative to Chevrolet's Tahoe, and Denali is positioned just below Cadillac's Escalade. Despite having more power and luxury touches than Yukons, Denali doesn't deliver enough of either to justify its higher base prices and thirst for premium-grade fuel. A carefully optioned Yukon SLE or SLT are our Best Buy values in this GMC lineup.

Price note: SLT requires an Option Pkg.
Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

NHTSA Crash-Test Results
| Test | GMC Yukon 4-door wagon | GMC Yukon XL 4-door wagon |
| Front Impact, Driver | 5 | 5 |
| Front Impact, Passenger | 5 | 5 |
| Rollover Resistance | 3 | 3 |
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
