The headlights are larger, using bright halogen bulbs that deliver improved lighting spread, and rear-end styling also is distinct, with unique treatments above the beltline and around the glass, including taillamps and integrated license plate pockets. Larson noted that Yukon Denali is "distinguished by exterior appointments that take its exclusive appearance to a higher, more differentiated level," including enhanced exterior bright work, unique and premium-look headlamps, taillamps and rear fascia treatment, as well as unique 18-inch standard wheels, with 20-inchers available.Interior space is roomier and "has a spacious, luxurious environment," Larson said, "thanks to a premium two-tone color scheme and a lower-positioned instrument panel."
Also, the thinner, sculpted seats offer more fore/aft and recline travel, and the second-row seats have an increased seatback recline angle for added comfort and can be ordered with heaters."Flush-mounted controls and radios, with almost imperceptible gaps, convey precision and integration," said Larson, and "chrome accents are used on instrument surrounds, vents and other trim." Like pretty much everyone else who took part in the media event, Larson made special note of the fact that the Yukon family also offers a power fold-and-tumble second-row seat feature that eases access to the third-row seat. Tri-Zone climate control is standard on all models. Automatic climate control is standard on Yukon Denali and Yukon SLT, and optional on Yukon SLE.
