The interior of the Yukon Denali is a massive one with a great amount of space and creature comforts that make it one of the best SUVs to go for in the segment. Tall and wide windscreen along with the big windows bring a lot of light and airiness into the cabin.
The dashboard has a leather surface finish with metal trim inlets. It doesn’t feel cluttered with buttons and has a lot of space in the glove box and center console for storing things.
The front row seats are ventilated and heated perforated leather seats with 12-way power adjustability. The front row has a great amount of space for the occupants to be seated comfortably and the seats have power-adjustable lumbar support as well for that extra comfort and confidence. The steering wheel too comes with heating and leather upholstery. The Tri-zone automatic climate control works like a charm and provides excellent ventilation and cooling in and around the cabin.
The second-row seats are foldable pilot seats that provide a huge amount of space and comfort for the second-row occupants making them the best place to be inside the Yukon Denali. The individual climate control settings help with adequate ventilation and cooling around the interior.
The third-row seats are fixed a bit higher and don’t have much legroom. This makes them uncomfortable for adults although kids can sit comfortably. The Yukon Denali also has an excellent cargo capacity of 94.7 cu-ft. with the seats behind the first row folded.
