GMC Yukon is conservatively styled. GMC is taking a more sophisticated, more understated approach to design than Chevrolet. Yukon looks like a shortened version of the Yukon XL, which looks like a fancy Chevy Suburban, which is what it is. An arched roofline provides extra headroom for the second and third rows.The most visible difference between Yukon SLE/SLT and Denali is the Denali's aftermarket-inspired chrome grille, in place of the blacked-out grille worn by other Yukons. An important choice to make here is whether you want a contemporary hatch rear door that lifts up, or old-fashioned side-by-side cargo doors. (The former is standard, the latter a so-called "delete option" that comes with a $250 credit.) Cargo doors are more useful for towing trailers, while the hatch style is usually more convenient for families, partly because the window can be opened separately for quick loading or unloading of smaller items. Denali buyers are limited to a hatch with flip-up window. Utility-minded shoppers looking for cargo doors will have to settle for an SLE or SLT.
