Motor Trend's Truck Trend Tough Lux: 2011 Sierra Denali 3500HD
Yukon Denali Hybrid: Another GMC Set To Debut In N.Y.
General Motors will be putting the focus on its GMC brand at the New York Auto Show, with the launch of the Yukon Denali Hybrid - as well as the new 2010 Terrain.
Using GM?s two-mode hybrid system the ?green? Yukon Denali boasts city fuel-economy that has been improved by more than 50 percent. Unfortunately in a vehicle as massive as this (with a 6.0-liter V8 engine) the result is just 21 mpg.
Wait a minute.. that is pretty good.
Detroit 2010: GMC Granite Concept Poised To Take On Scion xB With Added Boxiness
GMC introduced its new Granite concept model at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, presenting a "urban utility vehicle" with a boxiness rivaling the Scion xB. "Granite" was conceived as a new type of vehicle from GMC - one that could stretch people's ideas of what a GMC can be, said Lisa Hutchinson, product marketing director for GMC. We call it an "urban utility vehicle" and our goal was redefining what the GMC name could mean to a new generation of customers looking for both bold design and functionality. If brought to market, the Granite would be the smallest GMC ever produced. With a wheelbase of 103.6 inches, the Granite is comparable to the Chevy Cobalt, and at a total length of 161.3 inches, the Granite would be more than a foot shorter.
Report: 2011 GMC Acadia Gets High-End Denali Trim
GMC is expanding its luxury Denali line with the announcement of the 2011 Acadia Denali crossover.
The brand's first crossover, the Acadia gets signature Denali design cues including monotone paint, unique lower front and rear fascias, high-intensity discharge headlights, chrome accents and the Denali honeycomb grille. Inside, the Acadia Denali receives a number of luxury upgrades including a premium entertainment system, perforated leather trim and a mahogany wood steering wheel.
2011 GMC Sierra Denali Heavy Duty Announced With Class-Leading Horsepower and Torque
A month after the debut of the all-new 2011 Chevy Silverado HD, GMC has now announced its version of the work truck, the Sierra Denali HD. Powered by the same 6.6-liter Duamax engine and 6-speed Allison transmission, the truck gets best-in-class power of 397-hp at 3000 rpm and best-in-class torque of 765 ft-lbs at 1600 rpm. This tops the new Ford F-Series, but only slightly, while coming slightly under the new Ford truck in both payload and tow ratings, with a 6,335 lb. and 20,000 lb rating, respectively. The trucks conventional (non-fifth-wheel) towing capability is up significantly, to the tune of 23 percent, and is now rated at 16,000 lbs.
It
must've really bugged GM to see Ford own the luxury heavy-duty market,
especially considering that GMC's Denali line has been known for truck
luxury since 1999. When General Motors announced it was expanding its
Denali line to include heavy-duty GMC pickups, it made perfect sense --
this could be the way for GM to battle the King Ranch in this segment.
