General Motors New Zealand has announced the arrival of the GMC Yukon Denali, a powerhouse SUV set to shake up the local market. This high-capacity vehicle, priced at $184,990, is poised to become a game-changer, but the name of the sales manager or director responsible for its introduction remains unknown.
The GMC Yukon Denali boasts an impressive 6.2-litre petrol V8 engine, delivering 313kW and 624Nm, ensuring ample power for heavy loads.

Technologically advanced, the Yukon Denali comes with a 16.8-inch touch screen infotainment system supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a Bose 14-speaker surround sound system. Its Active Response 4WD system, equipped with an electronic limited-slip differential and a two-speed transfer case, ensures optimal traction in various terrains.
The GMC Yukon Denali, priced at $184,990, brings unparalleled power and luxury to New Zealand's SUV market. With its impressive towing capacity, advanced features, and robust engine, it is set to redefine expectations for high-end SUVs. Despite its significance, the name of the General Motors executive responsible for bringing this vehicle to our shores remains unconfirmed.
