GMC’s Prestigious Denali Sub-Brand Provides Uncompromised Luxury

Denali Trim Evolves into Premium Sub-Brand

Denali Trim Evolves into Premium Sub-Brand

The iconic Denali nameplate first appeared in 1997 on a GMC Yukon concept vehicle. It was so well received in fact, that the Yukon Denali went on sale as a production vehicle in late 1998. It featured many key differences that set it apart from the rest of the Yukon lineup—including a new front clip, unique body moldings and monochromatic paint scheme. These days, GMC Denali vehicles are more popular than ever. In 2019 Denali vehicles accounted for a sizable portion of all GMC vehicles sold.

What Does GMC Denali Mean?

The name itself is derived from “Denali,” the highest mountain peak in North America with a summit elevation of 20,310 feet above sea level. It’s said to be symbolic of GMC’s goals—to rise above the industry standards of other trucks and SUVs built by competing brands.
