Updates have arrived for the 2018 GMC Yukon Denali, bringing along some mild styling changes and a new 10-speed automatic transmission.
The grille on the Yukon Denali has been slightly massaged, while inside, a new Mastique Ash real wood trim option adds a deep finish. GMC says that the new sculpted design of the grille should provide extra air flow to the radiator.
