GMSV has raised the price of its GMC Yukon Denali by $5000 just one month out from deliveries commencing, with the brand’s local operations citing cost challenges.
The eight-seat luxury SUV, which is built at GMC’s facility in Texas before being converted to right-hand drive in Melbourne, will now launch at $174,990, up from its original price of $169,990 (both at before on-road costs).
In a statement, a spokesperson for the brand’s local operation told CarsGuide: “Due to ongoing foreign exchange rate volatility and cost increases, we have needed to review our pricing.”

Standard equipment includes a 16.8-inch central multimedia display, dual 12.6-inch rear passenger screens, 16-way power adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, wood trim, leather-accented upholstery and an 18-speaker Bose sound system.
Additionally, there are 24-inch, eight-spoke machined and painted pearl nickel wheels, GMC’s signature Denali chrome grille with LED headlamps and a panoramic power sunroof.
GMSV claims a braked towing capacity in excess of 3500kg, with trailer reverse assist, blind-zone assist and jackknife alert fitted as standard to make towing easier.
