2015 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L 0-60 MPH First Drive & Review

- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2015 GMC Yukon Denali is a traditional SUV that has three rows and enough room to haul you, your friends and a few horses in the back of the trailer. And unlike the Chevy Suburban and the Chevy Tahoe, the new 2015 GMC Yukon Denali comes with the big 420 Horsepower 6.2L V8 straight out of the Silverado and Sierra. So is it fast from 0-60? You'll have to watch this first drive TFLcar 0-60 MPH video as Roman reviews the newest and most luxurious GMC Yukon yet.

You know the car is good when the person reviewing it has the cheesiest smile the whole time.
2000-2006 will always be my favorite styles
a tip : you can watch movies on kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Nicholas Mohammad yea, I've been watching on kaldroStream for years myself :)
No electric car will ever bring this kind of joy to driving, you can hear the rumble of that strong V-8
Look people that are saying it's overpriced well there wrong lol. See it from my point i myself and allot of other people are the "average joe" who will not be able to afford one of these SUV's. It's basically the corvette of SUV's. A guy who make's 200k a year would not mind owning one of these tanks on wheel's. They make lots of power somewhat fuel efficient for the size and have loads of room. People should not get mad they should appreciate the fact that this American company made such a great vehicle. All of GM's vehicles today are pretty good. But they did not forget us lol for the guy who can afford a stripped down version of these vehicles with a 5.3l the after market is massive for LS engines and very easy to get the legendary push rod v8 to push some massive numbers. Just my two cents.
this vehicle is a beauty
I drive an 03 Yukon Xl Denali, it has a 6.0. And i have driven Suburban's and Tahoe's that can't compare. They feel heavy and well the AWD on the Denali's is great and they are really well made. Mine is going on 11 years and has no mechanical problems and its alot of fun. 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds.
This is worth no more than $65,000 if GM wants to sell any. If the Denali is $75,000 then I can't imagine what the Escalade costs.
$75K is bat shit crazy! It's not worth half that.
GM has definitely stepped up their game with the generation SUVs !
Kuddos to them !!
Its about time you guys made some good SUV videos. :)
I ordered one have another 2 weeks to take delivery I order all black fully loaded after tax it was 79 574.67and well worth it can't wait
Nice exterior and good 0-60 time. Still wouldn't shell out $75k for a GMC though.
You buy a denali for its name, just like a aston martin, these trucks are truly the king of the roads
Very nice truck, For 75k I would get a fully loaded corvette though.
Good. I've also edited it to hopefully be more clear. When it was written, I hadn't considered that it could be interpreted as a general "you" rather than the original poster.
Try fitting 6 ppl in a Corvette
It may be expensive, but it's worth it imo.
Alot of money yo
Too much is worth it
That truck got a lot of cool stuff
@@anthonybaker1741 not anymore
WAAAAAAYYY OVERPRICED
Missing old school GM ...
We race around here always have and we are maybe 900 ft at our highest point and most times 100 ft or so above.. So much appreciated
All of the features shown are in the durango for a starting price below 40k. I also like the styling overall of the durango as well. But it doesn't have a 6.2 liter V8...
This is supposed to be the other channel,, the fast lane TRUCK!
Test drove it. We are getting the Lincoln Navigator after driving the Yukons and Tahoes. Visually I thought the Yukon and Tahoe was nice inside and out. Rear seat is not good for bigger kids or adults in the Yukon or Tahoe where the Navigator definitely does. The floor height is cramped with the solid rear axle underneath in the Yukon and Tahoe, where in the Navigator your feet are not cramped because the Navigator has rear independent suspension. The Yukon and Tahoe doesn't have independent rear suspension so when you drive you notice that the vehicle doesn't have as good of a ride as the Navigator. Steering the Yukon and Tahoe took way more work but I did like the thick steering wheel where the Navigator steered effortlessly. Gas pedal on the Small V8 is so restricted to try and get good gas mileage. The 6.2 was well powered and didn't have the same lethargic gas pedal but on the Lincoln Navigator the throttle response was not just amazing but powerful across a larger power-band. I don't think the 6.2 would win zero to 60 nor do I think the 6.2 could out pull a full trailer as well.
:-) Funny. Just my honest opinion after test driving all the full size options. Go test drive the 2015 Lincoln. I'm definitely not disappointed. My wife is the one choosing. Its for her. She likes all of the 2015. But likes the Lincoln more based upon the obvious after driving all of them.
I'm not saying last years Lincoln Navigator or its predecessors were great. All I'm saying is we like this years better in comparison to the other 2015 full size SUV's. Go drive one then let me know. I'm not basing my opinion on last year or any other years product. Just the one we just took a look at.
I'm more of a Lexus LX type of guy,BUT I must say that the Navigators are UGLY.I saw the review,it just doesn't measure up,but like any ugly vehicle out there "Somebody's bound to buy it".
You sound like a one party politician. I'm not a crowd follower. I prefer freedom to choose by driving the product. You sound like you would buy anything made by GMC. Where I would buy a GMC like a Corvette after driving it because they are simply awesome. Not because everyone else thinks their awesome from past years. The Lincoln rides better, steers better, and is more responsive when you get on the throttle, and it is more capable for towing. It has 440 lbs feet of torque. You obviously have not gone to a lot and driven one.
You sound stressed! Hope you have a better day :-)
Much better looking than the Tahoe from yesterday. And actually worth the price.
OMG! 3:20 was the BEST moment! You could actually see the affect that acceleration had on you. Can't wait to test drive this awesome piece of automotive technology! Well done, GM AND Fast Lane Car Team!
KEEP THE REVIEWS COMING!!!
I'll wait for the expedition
It still amazes me there is a market for the GMC Yukon the Tahoe AND the Escalade.
Why aren't SUVs like this built with diesel engines? Its not like someone is going to take their denali offroad so wouldn't someone benefit from a diesel SUV. They would be able to tow, carry bags/kids, and would get way better MPG than with a gasoline engine...
Because jesus, diesles are heavy and expensive to manufacture and cost $$$$$$$$$ to upkeep. Just do drive it you need to spend another $50 on DP fluid.
Mr. Jesus - I agree. Take note that Nissan will be coming out with a Cummins TD in their Titan trucks in 2015. So maybe we'll see the TD in Armadas? I think Nissan could have a hit by revamping the Armada into the only BIG suv with a TD that gets nice mileage.
Because in America Gasoline and Diesel prices are very similar. So it takes decades to start saving money with the diesel, because of the premium it would have over the gasser. In Europe diesel fuel is substantially cheaper then gasoline, which makes it much easier to get your money back that you spent to buy the diesel car in the first place. I regularly pay about $3.99-4.35 per gallon for regular ole diesel fuel for my Mercedes in Washington state. Regular unleaded at the same stations is usually about 25-45 cents cheaper per gallon, that ads up very quickly.
like the way you think Jesus.
you can get excursions, and the chevy avalanche in diesel....im not sure about anymore SUVs
Still waiting on the expedition/navigator :)
I bought my denali because of your reaction
this is much better than every other suv and its worth the price! Very comfortable.
Well, at least I know that that Yukon has some kick for its size in the 0-60
I don't even want to know of the price of escalade
80k but those are so nice
so the escalade is staying about the same price
H3N
Bmackins94 I guess
I've been told by the one of the regional Cadillac marketing managers that the new Escalade should START at $90K and up to $100K+ for the Platinum
Dhaher Alelew
No it actually starts at $72,690 In the USA
Good mini review, but no where in this video did they ever show what the rear looks like, except a little bit albeit with the trunk open @ 7:30 :(
Am I the only one who actually likes how this looks??? I mean i wouldn't/ couldn't buy one, but its looks very nice.
The Denali has better styling than it's siblings. Cadillac just screams bling. I noticed the cargo load floor is pretty high, around above waist level. And it's like 3 inches higher than the rear bumper.
When did Yukons and Suburbans start for so much?? They've gotten much closer to European SUVs price-wise.
you can usually get them for a lot less
This is a top of the line yukon. It starts somewhere closer to 45K
What's so hard to understand? It's 2014 and technology has gotten much better. Compare the luxury amenities you get in a new G-Class compared to a new Denali and I bet they compare pretty similarly.
MrCleanPolo I never said it was hard to understand. I literally only asked when they got so pricey. Calm down a tad.
And as far as "technology has gotten much better," I disagree. No. Technology has gotten more accessible. That's the reason why the stuff you find in a Denali will *finally* parallel the G-Class (which has had all this "stuff" for a while).
They're more RELIABLE than most European SUVs too; just because something is European doesn't means it better. BTW both my vehicles are European.
I have a 2007 Cadillac Escalade, which I love, but to put this in perspective, in 2007 the MSRP was $57,280 for the AWD version of my Escalade. $75,000 for a Denali is Insane! Just seven years later, this pricing is very disappointing. Heck, the LTZ Tahoe is $71k, smh.
Theres a reason why all the celebs get driven around in the gm suvs and not a merc gl. They are very comfortable. If you need to tow alot, you can, drive 7 or 8 people around you can, you wanna go off roading you can, you wanna be safe, you are, laws of physics, bigger and heavier wins, i mean to get hit by a pickup truck in this suv or a prius? As far as price, well 15 years ago i almost bought a chevy tahoe, cheapest on the lot was 38 grand, now they start at45 grand. Its called inflation.
Why would I get the Denali for 75k when I could get the escalade with a better interior for 72k?
That's the price as tested, not the starting price. I don't have the prices in front of me but I would assume a similarly equipped Escalade would cost more.
MrAnalFace FYI: A similar Escalade will be almost 10K more.
That's a base Cadillac. The top of the line is over 100k
Because you can't. Escalades are 90+. Moron.
Those are nice as hell but 15k over priced. The escalade used to start off at 62k and now a Tahoe is 70k. GM is way way way over pricing the new SUVs. Let me guess the next escalade will start off at 80k.
The escalade actually starts a 72k.
To be fair, if that's possible, these are the loaded models. Options are expensive on any vehicle. Go to BMW or Merc and build one of theirs to see what I mean.
dchawk81 The Tahoe and suburban still are way overpriced. Think about this, would you buy a Yukon or a Tahoe for 50k with just literally satellite radio as your only option? Because that is how much it is. And 20k for options on a GM vehicle to equal 70k on a suburban, I minus well go BMW or Mercedes.
Rtvoll Actually 68k for the regular one and 70k for the ESV. But still the Yukon and Tahoe/Suburban are way way over priced.
6824096 GM literally owns the suv market. Thats why the tahoe is "Overpriced. You corner the market and then raise the price. Simple business economics. I would still rather buy a tahoe used then go with the germans because I want something reliable and I have never had the best luck with any european cars.
beautiful color better looking than at the auto show
Why are all these car guys leaving negative comments on this truck, if u think an siv is a waste of money well don't buy it, if u do your homework it is a competitive price, this is a bad ass truck, ofcours e iw would like it to be cheaper but hey, all manufacturers add more bells and whistles to their new line up any chance they get so they can keep selling!
that thing actually is a rocket, though. that is quick.
Awesome! Can't wait to test drive one!
New escalade has this beat by a mile. Lincoln and gmc need to re think
love it .... my next car once i sell my 06 yukon denali
I love it as well, How much would you sell your current Yukon Denali for?
well its a 2005 black yukon denali XL. It has 125K miles on it about. Its got grey leather seats,navigation,satellite radio,bose audio, and a rear entertainment system I payed extra for. I would sell it for about $8000-$10000
Not bad at all,
Its already sold
Oh dang, you going to get the new 2015?
Love you guys no homo i appreciate the extra time you took too add in the the information my whole region can use lol good looks guys keep up the good work
I'm not a huge fan of GM but these trucks are nice along with the new Tahoe and suburban. Good bold non boring style
I would definitely buy this truck. This truck is awesome.
I'll wait for the Expedition.
Expedition and Navigator doesn't even come near this. Big mistake was dumping the V8 for a V6. Ford had a 6.2L V8, which should have been used in their Navigator to compete against the Denali.
Nihsel101 The Ford V6 absolutely annihilates the 5.3! The Expedition with the IRS rides so much smoother. Low-range isn't standard in the Suburban 4x4 anymore. 3.08 axles. It's just a big station wagon these days. Actually they're all pretty boring now. It's a shame because they could have made something great.
True.There is a knob on the Tahoe with different setting like 2 wheel low, 4 wheel low, and 4 wheel high. But The Navigator deserves something little more than a twin turbo V8 under 400 hp.
I like Escalades more than Chevy tahoes. Mainly the 2010-2013s. :D
Nihsel101 I rented a Suburban 3 years ago, it had only the 2 hi and 4 hi. I looked up the specs and it said the 2 speed t-case was an option. I also discovered a 5.3 Suburban with a 3.08 axle can't spin the wheels in the wet (in 4x2 mode, trac control off).
Yeah thats why I didn't like it that much. My hummer h2 got those same settings. So far i love it, so worth paying extra. Plus main reason was the 6.2L V8 engine. Love the sound of it and got the pull when you punch the throttle.
This truck is absolutely not worth $75k
Hey Roman and Nathan, Please do a off road, snow performance review of 2014 Toyota Highlander. I've been waiting for your review before I buy it for my wife..
shut up all you people saying that a sedan is better than the rumble of a traditional American v8. you really think you can compare some type of crap to a beast from the wild. let's give it a try
my mom has a yukon denali and i love it so much
I dont understand why you guys do so many 0-60. whats the point? If Im gonna buy this huge SUV I wont be expecting a fast launch at all. you guys should do more Interior review instead.
I agree but some people care.
Right, cars don't accelerate. Why would want to know how well it accelerates?
Christ Jesus well those who care should go buy Ferraris or Lambos
aram442 Besides, not everyone can afford a Ferrari or a Lambo. Maybe a Corvette or a Camaro or something but the fact that you're talking about cars that cost this much makes you look even dumber.
Christ Jesus your so stupid man. if your gonna buy a fuckin Denali sure your not a damn poor guy. cz this damn cars price is 75k$ and if a family guy owns one of these Im pretty sure he also has a weekend car or a sports car or whatever you wanna call it damn. Sometimes I hate CZcams cz of people like you who argue over such things.
I can't explain why but I love this truck! Probably for all the same reasons as Roman. The electric fold down seats are pretty awesome. When are we getting the next Andre the Russian mechanic review ? I know he speaks English but i still like his Russian reviews anyways lol
So 75k, when driven off the lot. 65K, couple of years with grandma behind the wheel. 50k when gas goes to 5 bucks a drop. 20K. Zombie attack? Priceless.
And practically free once the air ride dies. Got my Navi cheap that way. Threw shocks, springs, and coilovers under it ($204 for all four corners) and good to go!
Reviewers have become extended salespeople for manufacturers. The styling of this vehicle looks so much like a Ford grille and Dodge body. Not much imagination there. I see the improvements/upgrades in the interior, but NOT $75k worth. yeah, I hear the engine, but that engine sounds like the same Escalade engine from 5+ years ago. How much more hp can GM squeeze out of the same block before the design fails? Finally...@ 5:13 when did "real aluminum" become such a precious metal? Who are we kidding? Where's Ricardo Montalban and his "soft corinthian leather" ?
it is so cute when the headlights turned on!!!)
for 72000 ill go for a escalade or audi lol
You'll spend that much to keep an Audi going.
A guy I work with has a new Audi A8. He hit a deer and broke a headlight assembly. The cost in labor and materials to replace ONLY the headlight assembly: $3200.00!!!
Escalade is 95k$
If others are like me I look at the MPG first. These big trucks should all be running V6 Turbo diesels. The auto makers have the technology. Funny how we are just coming around in America to understand that we need to change our ways of living and stop driving trucks like these although there is such an appeal for this high riding and comfortable vehicle. You feel safe in it. We don't need it we want it.
Beautiful inside and out!
I have a 2010 Denali Ext with the 6.2 and that thing is surprising quick for how big it is. That 6.2 is huge upgrade over the 5.3 or even the 6.0. My Work truck with the 6.0 would get gapped hard by the Denali.
Gap me
I think GMC must thank Ford when they modify their third row seats which was very bad design in previous models, now it looks exactly like the one in Ford Expedition.
$75000...!?!? Are they fucking serious? Does that make the Escalade $100k? GM is fucking insane....Hell with that, I'll stick with my 07 Expedition EL EB 4x4. 194k and it still gets 20mpg highway at 65mph and is in ridiculously good shape.
wonder how this new denali 6.2 performs with regular octane gas?
It looks really good, and for all the idiots complaining about price, he is talking about the top of the line with every single little option you can add for 75k, a really good mid level trim one costs about 55k. Maybe use your brains and read something before talking crap about it
The Yukon and Tahoe are not for everyone, but they certainly have gotten better looking. Good job GM....now just work on quality issues. LOL
In the precious generation (and earlier) I liked the look of the Tahoe much better than the Yukon and Escalade and would (even if money was no object) much rather have a fully loaded Tahoe than the others. Now though, I must say I like the look of the Yukon better than the Tahoe.
Sweet truck. The best looking of the two IMO. And it's going to be fast! That's a Corvette engine under the hood.
SUCH AN AMAZING VEHICLE !!!
Is that a big dent in the side rear bumper of the car at the end of the video ????
it does at 8:36
H3N Its a shadow from a tree
blackandgold51 I'm glad your 90 is still running strong! Proof that these SUVs are tough, why do u think the new ones can't compete? They have more power, faster more comfortable, and have all the bells and whistles available on lux sedans the best of both worlds!
How is it possible to have the 2015 model in Feb 2014?
So after you do a full review of this truck will you finally be doing a full review for the 2014 Dodge Durango Rt? You guys said there would be one months ago but no Denver review was posted.
I'm a Ford guy. Now I have to say, I'm not a big fan of GM, at all lol. But DAMN that 6.2 sounds AWESOME and kicks ass! Otherwise... 75K? OH HELL NO GM SCREW YOU. I'd MUCH rather have a Mercedes for that price... or a Lincoln.
She's a beauty, alright.
ive seen this truck in person and its not as ugly as you think
$75K I can go buy a Mercedes Benz GL or Infiniti QX, so no, hell no.
I know right
***** So you can spend $75K on a vehicle but servicing it now became too expensive for you? And yeah, the Tahoe/Suburbans are so gorgeous, belle of the ball. Right...
The Benz would have to be a GL550..plus with the same options. It well be way over $88,000. The QX80 with the same options would over $75,000.
***** Congratulations, they have a sucker, I mean a buyer, go take your $75K down to the dealer and buy one.
***** You right man.
Interesting how everyone hates the way it looks....I dk I really liked it when I saw it at the auto show
does either the yukon denali or tahoe come with bench seat on second row, it seems that on both review you've done they only comes with captain seat on second row @The Fast Lane Car
Where are the front hooks? Please tell me Gm didn't just remove them...
Once the Lincoln Navigator comes out for 2015 this fall can you review it?
I wonder how the 3rd row is for leg room. If they kept it similar to previous gen i can't imagine anyone wanting one. My uncle had an expedition that had 10 times better 3rd row leg room. My mom test drove a last gen model tahoe and couldn't sit in the back seat because there was no legroom and she is 5' 2". This coming from a huge gm fan
Great review!
Hey Roman you were driving on highway 160 north california...from highway12??
imo, the suburban has a slightly better fuel economy...
i like both yukon & suburban
but i would stay away from the bigger motors if u don't mind filler up every week lol
those bigger motors is more preferable for towing purposes...
Can someone explain to me where this fits in? The Tahoe obviously being the 'everyday' mans SUV, but what is this? It can't be luxurious because that's the Escalade's genre.
I understand this is a niche market, but a 70k being targeted towards everyday folk sure is hefty - I understand this is a boat of a truck though.
its a brand choice really, people who buy the sierra wouldn't buy a Silverado if a sierra was available same goes for this. Brand loyalty even though its just rebadged
Well it is the ultra luxury like that of the Escalade for people who don't want the full on flash of the Cadillac. So Chevy is for everyone, the Denali is for the luxury buyer who doesn't want to shock and awe, and the Cadillac is in your face boldness.
That's just it...It doesn't fit in. Ford for example has the Expedition / EL models which serve as the every man's SUV for their nameplate and the Lincoln Navigator serves as Fords ultra lux SUV.
GM seem's to think that they need three brands to shuffle around. From GM's perspective its like...
Chevrolet Taho = Every man's SUV
GMC Denali = Luxury SUV
Cadillac Escalade = Ultra Lux SUV
The Denali is in a segment all on its own with no real competition because other manufactures see how much of a waste of money it is to have 3 segments like this.
It's very advanced over previous gen I'd say...except for the column shifter which is still "Cling Cling Cling" the old fashion way
Went and saw the new Yukon & Tahoe this weekend! Was nice on interior quality and they did a great job on design; even the old skool gear shifter didn't cutback it's swagger! Loved the amount of chargers for the front and 2nd row phn/media devices also. -BUT- the problem I had was the lack of interior room(6ft limit on 2nd row) on the 2nd & 3rd row plus when looking at the Denali with the 2nd row captain chairs, IT HAS NO center console option, meaning no real cup holders or extra storage. With that kind of money being doled out, can't understand the reasoning.
that is if a 6 footer is sitting in front, someone of similar height would be closterphobic on 2nd row
!
but does it come in diesel?
nice car
Only the Cadillac can justify that price tag.
It changes color too?
420 hp for $75K puts a big smile on my face too until the first of the month when that check is due..
I Love your channel
I'd like to see you take one of these Yukon's or Tahoe's off road
Looks to me like this is a nice SUV and would be fun to drive! As for the brand wars, I ain't really that interested in them. I think it comes down to personal preference and I like the ideal of the big V8 motor. By the way did he say whether or not it had cylinder deactivation?
This is the same engine as in escalade, and this one is so much faster... Why is that? Aren't they using the same base?
The last generation Denali was only around 65k.
You hit it right on the mark. GM can you please come up with some new innovations and sexier looks before the Hyundi and Kia catch up with you. Germany has already caught up and past GM between the Audi Q7 and BMW X5 M series
Dude.....you are seriously ignorant........all the platforms you mentioned are passenger cars posing as crossovers/suvs.....they are fake. People that buy truck based SUVs expect them to look "masculine".............meaning big,brawny and boxy.
