The 2023 GMC Yukon introduces a number of important updates, including the debut of the new GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate, the latest range-topper in the full-size SUV’s lineup, described by GM as the “most premium Yukon ever offered.” Now, we’re taking a closer look at the new 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate with the following GM Authority Live Photo Gallery.
Captured on the floor of the 2022 North American International Auto Show, better known as the Detroit Auto Show, this particular 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate is presented in the extended-length Yukon XL body style, which boasts an overall length of 225.7-inches, as compared to the standard-length model’s 210.7 inches.
One of the first thing to grab us is the look, with 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate models equipped as standard with unique Vader Chrome exterior trim, including for the grille. The Vader Chrome certainly looks good, especially against the SUV’s Titanium Rush Metallic paint (paint code G6M).
The Vader Chrome extends into the flanks with the lower bodyside moldings, which visually connect the standard 22-inch 7-spoke ultra-bright machined wheels with bright chrome accents and dark paint. Meanwhile, the window trim is done up in polished chrome.
Of course, the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali is also well-appointed when it comes to the cabin goodies. That said, the new Yukon Denali is currently unavailable to order with the GM Super Cruise system, per earlier GM Authority coverage.
As for what’s under the hood, the 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate can be had with one of two engine options, starting with the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, which is rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Alternatively, customers can also select the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax as a no-cost option, the output of which is rated at 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Both engines connect to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission, with four-wheel drive offered as the exclusive drive type.
As a reminder, the GMC Yukon rides on the GM T1 platform, with production taking place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

I ordered a 2022 Denali there are things not working I will never order a new GMC I will switch brands
Because of the chips not being there or some things broke?
All of the above
Are you a bot? Or are you human? Your Yukon has a warranty, I’ve only got good things to say about GMs warranty service and coverage. It’s there when you need it!
Have had a Denali with ultimate package(22) now converted to a 23 Denali ultimate on order since sept 7th of 21 and still GM has not accepted my order! These things are impossible to get🤷🏻♂️
Quite a showboat. A+. A large, safe vehicle. Preparing to order one with the Duramax Diesel. The most suitable, durable, efficient engine for this size of vehicle. The Germans are savvy in their choice of diesels.
Maybe GM wants to give them all a tan or at this stage, sunburn before shipping out units.
I ordered a new Chevrolet Silverado RST at he first of May , was told probably get it in July, middle of July went by dealership and was told probably going to be a 23 and won’t get it til September. I returned to dealership and was told the won’t build it with leather now, but I can still go online and build it exactly as before….. All summer I’ve watched those da_m commercials and no truck , I watch lots start to build inventory, hey I’ve wait since May with money down and still no truck ….. I am extremely disappointed in Chevrolet. I would love to discuss this with your new lady. I don’t know why they even bother having a build your own feature when waiting a half a year and they tell you they won’t build it !
I’m personally not a fan of the vader gray, I love the chrome and shine, I think it enhances the beauty of the Yukon, I have a 2021 Yukon and love it!
I drove 80 miles to buy a 2023 Yukon Denali Ultimate price 96000. When I got there the greedy dealer wanted to charge me $120000. For the car how much is enough. Needless to say I’m still looking.
