Is the 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate a BETTER luxury SUV than a Lincoln Navigator?

The Yukon Denali Ultimate is here and GMC wants to be the leader in full size luxury SUVs. This competes directly with the Ford expedition, Toyota Sequoia, Infiniti QX80, Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. On the outside you will find a uniq grill, nead headlights, 22in wheels and automatic running boards. On the inside there is a higher level of materials and finishes. Under the hood is a 6.2L V8 that now produces 420HP & is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate a BETTER luxury SUV than a Lincoln Navigator?

Joe, the moment this vehicle sold me was when you pointed out that the rear glass wiper has FINALLY been tucked underneath the spoiler. Geezzz... took them long enough! Even that Bentley Bentayga didn't have the rear glass wiper tucked underneath the spoiler! Just an FYI... years ago, the Denali trim USED to be very upscale. However, over the past 10 or 12 years, it had become only a minor upscale trim. With the "Ultimate" tag, this one is truly upscale.

@jeffs6090 Жыл бұрын

I understand the aesthetics of it on the outside, but functionally it's better to have the wiper on the bottom. In order to easily see the road out the back, you want the clear part of the wiped window to be wider on the bottom. I've been in vehicles with the wiper on top, and it's horrible to properly see when it's raining. Then when it dries, it's even worse. You're constantly needing to clean the rear window in order to safely see everything. Now, the fact that this has a digital rear view mirror makes it just fine to have the wiper on top. Every vehicle should have one of those! I love them! Hopefully it becomes standard across all automakers soon.

Joe, very confusing the dark chrome and shiny chrome? It should be all dark chrome in my opinion. The Navigator has more horsepower and better fuel mileage. The Lincoln has on the Black Label a map of Central Park like C GmC has the map of Mt Denali. GMC is a step ahead of Ford especially with the rear wiper and dual exhaust. You could say the Denali is a dressed up Chevy Tahoe/Suburban.

I test drove the Denali Ultimate, Escalade Sport Platinum, and Navigator Black Label multiple times because it seemed like a tough choice. But in the end the Navigator has much better build quality, ride comfort, and shared experience with passengers. It was also the most expensive of the 3 (ignoring the Escalade V). The Escalade dash is very cool but ignores the passenger. The GMC Denali Ultimate competes with the Ford Expedition Platinum with top group options. It really wasn't in the race after I got in the Escalade and Navigator. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these vehicles but in this current generation of SUVs, its Cadillac vs Lincoln.
