GMC Denali
The Denali was the first glimpse into the GMC brand going in an upmarket direction. From the stitching on the seats to the way the exterior looked, everything about the SUV was remarkably upmarket. The Denali was built in response to the success Lincoln had with the Navigator. GM hadn’t designed a luxury SUV, so the automaker had to respond quickly (via Edmunds).
The Denali was brought to market, and it had many great features. The luxury-appointed interior was only the first stop, as this thing was decked out. Consumers flocked to the SUV and it was flying off the dealership showroom floors.
