The new 2018 Yukon Denali hits showrooms in the fall and features a revamped front grille, some interior tweaks including premium woods, and a new 10-speed automatic transmission to assist in better performance and presumably a bump in fuel-economy for the big 6.2-liter V8 engine (EPA estimates haven't come in yet).

According to GMC, the new SUV will be "offered in Yukon and Yukon XL models, with the XL featuring a 14-inch-longer wheelbase ... for increased third-row legroom and more than double the cargo room behind the third-row seat."

GMC can't really afford to get this vehicle wrong because it's been such a stalwart in the lineup for decades.

“Yukon Denali has always matched style with substance, and the enhancements for 2018 advance that legacy,” said GMC head Duncan Aldred in a statement. “The foundational elements of exclusive design, premium touches and uncompromising capability have made Yukon Denali an icon for nearly 20 years.”

The 10-speed should be nice.

The 10 speed rocks!  It takes some getting used to that for sure. Its ALWAYS right there when you step on it. None of that waiting a second for it to downshift and kick in to take off. This puppy is a ROCKET!

The 2018 escalade has the option to disable the radar cruise control and use it as a normal cc,i hope the 2018 Yukon share the same option.

I'm not sure, I would think so.

 

I'm still going through all the options, my "Stealer" was basically useless. The buffoon that was the "Truck Salesman" had a flip phone and tossed me the key and said I'll go through everything when you come back because we're closing up. Yah he's gonna retire before he sees me again LOL.
