The GMC Yukon Denali and Yukon XL Denali in Scottsdale have received several notable changes for the 2015 model year. Both now pair a new eight-speed automatic transmission with the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8, which helps increase efficiency, torque and horsepower. Plus, this year the Yukon's luxury-focused Denali trims also receive new technology updates.
The Yukon Denali remains a leader in its segment when it comes to power. With the 6.2-liter V-8, the SUV produces a best-in-class 420 hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. And with the new eight-speed transmission, 2WD and 4WD Denali models have seen gains in their mpg ratings, placing their fuel economy estimates among the top in the large SUV class, too.
When it comes to technology and convenience updates, the 2015 Yukon Denali in Scottsdale now offers a convenient new power liftgate that opens hands free. Simply pass your foot underneath the SUV's back bumper and the rear hatch will open and close at your command. Taking in-car connectivity to new levels, the Denali also offers new OnStar with 4G LTE, which supports a reliable onboard Wi-Fi Internet connection any time the vehicle is turned on.
In addition, if you have a compatible mobile device, you'll be happy to hear that the 2015 Yukon Denali is available with a new wireless phone charging tray located in the center console. Last but not least, the IntelliLink system has been upgraded and now provides alerts when a paired smartphone receives incoming text messages.
