By Jeff Gibbs
The GMC Yukon Denali is set to make its Australian debut in mid-2025, with orders now open. Priced from $169,990 before on-road costs, the Yukon Denali marks GMC’s entry into the local large SUV market, distributed through GMSV.
Positioned as a premium eight-seat SUV, the Yukon Denali competes with the likes of the Nissan Patrol, Lexus LX, and BMW X7. GMSV highlights the Denali as the only eight-seat SUV in Australia featuring a V8 engine, though the Nissan Patrol Ti also offers this combination.

The part-time four-wheel-drive system supports towing “in excess of 3500kg,” though exact figures are not confirmed. With a 91-litre fuel tank, the Denali is tailored for long-distance capability.
