Shopping for a new vehicle is often an exciting experience, and it’s important to consider what factors matter most to you as an owner. As you narrow down your options for which GMC vehicle best meets your needs, it’s essential to evaluate the trim levels available for each model. One particularly noteworthy trim level is the Denali class. This grade has the highest quality of performance, technology, comfort, and style available from GMC. Our GMC experts at Koons Woodbridge Buick GMC created this guide to help you understand what makes GMC Denali special and how it affects your vehicle options.

What Does GMC Denali Mean?

Deriving its name from the tallest peak in North America, GMC uses the “Denali” moniker to signify its highest class of vehicles. These vehicles take classic GMC excellence to the highest level with exclusive amenities and first-class appointments, creating an exclusive range of professional-grade vehicles. The 2022 Denali lineup features three SUVs and three trucks, providing you with a range of options to choose from when looking for a prestige GMC vehicle.

What Are Some Exterior Features of a Denali Vehicle?

Make a statement wherever you go with your Denali model. Designed to make an impression, each exterior features the headlamps with the signature design and aluminum wheels. However, it’s the vehicle’s chrome features that help achieve the sleek, stylish appearance you expect from a Denali. This includes the chrome accents throughout the exterior and the signature chrome grilles.

What Are Some Interior Features of a Denali Vehicle?

Enjoy riding in luxurious comfort in each Denali model. Designed with precision and attention to detail, each interior features front-row leather-appointed seating for the driver and passenger seats with available heated seating. Fine details like unique seat trims, stitch details, and real aluminum trim complete the stylish interior. As a bonus, Denali models all feature uncompromised cabin quietness, helping you travel with the ultimate comfort.

Expect unmatched technology features with your Denali model. Each vehicle features a GMC Infotainment System. Fitted with the latest technology, this system offers available Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa options, helping you easily enjoy your favorite entertainment on your drive. Upgrade your experience with the available Wi-Fi hotspot, which allows you to connect up to seven devices at once.

Drive with the ultimate peace of mind with the comprehensive suite of safety features in the Denali lineup. Each vehicle comes standard with a range of features to help you drive and park more safely, such as alerts for hazards on the road, parking assist, and lane departure alerts.
