Click to enlarge price, err, vehicle.

The 2023 Yukon Denali Ultimate trim “elevates” the GMC sub-brand it’s claimed. “Distinguished with exterior and interior details, next-level materials, innovative available (optional, bring money- Autocrat) technologies and impressive capability, the new 2023 Yukon Denali Ultimate is the most premium Yukon ever offered.” AutoInformed guesstimates the elevated price will be just under ~$100,000.

The Yukon Denali Ultimate goes on sale this fall with a standard 6.2L V8 or optional Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel (ahem? Let ’em eat EVs?). Both engines have a 10-speed automatic transmission. Also, standard are Magnetic Ride Control, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, Active Response 4WD™ system with electronic limited-slip differential and Auto Track two-speed transfer case.

Yukon Denali Ultimate introduces optional “class-leading,” trailering-capable Super Cruise *1 driver assistance technology to Yukon, including the capability to automatically change lanes or tow while driving hands-free on compatible roads*2.

The 2023 Yukon Denali Ultimate also has 16-way power front seats with massage, and a -18-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system, including head restraint-based speakers for front-row passengers.
