Used 2012 Gmc Yukon XL 1500 Denali

The 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Denali is the premium trim of GMC’s extended-length SUV lineup, offering a spacious 4-door cabin and upscale appointments. Under its hood lies a potent 6.2-liter Flex-Fuel V8 engine, delivering 403 horsepower at 5,700 RPM and 417 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 RPM. The Denali is available with all-wheel drive (AWD) paired to a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, enhancing both traction and drivability. Fuel economy lands at around 13 mpg city, 18 mpg highway, and 14 mpg combined, reflecting its substantial size and power. Its massive interior volume —approximately 137.4 cubic feet of cargo space— and flexible seating for up to eight passengers make it ideal for large families or heavy loads. The Yukon XL Denali rides on a 222.4-inch length and 79.1-inch width, with a wheelbase of 130.0 inches, giving it a commanding road presence. From the factory, it was a top-tier model, originally equipped with an MSRP around $61,755, while current fair market values for good used examples sit near $11,700. Kelley Blue Book rated it strongly in consumer feedback: 4.5/5 for value, 4.7/5 for performance, 4.8/5 for comfort, and 4.7/5 for styling. Overall satisfaction is high. Recommended features include tri-zone climate control, cooled and heated leather seats, premium Bose audio, DVD rear entertainment, GPS navigation, remote start, and voice-control capabilities. Safety aids such as blind-spot alert, parking sensors, rear-view camera, multiple airbags, traction and stability control are also part of its rich equipment suite. Its towing capacity reaches up to 7,800 lbs, making it well-suited for hauling trailers or boats. Owners appreciate its spaciousness, comfort, and confident ride—an ideal companion for long trips and sizeable loads. However, some common concerns include issues with the Active Fuel Management (AFM) system consuming oil over time, and reports of torque-converter troubles around 100K–125K miles. Reliability-wise, there have been at least four recalls since new, per NHTSA data—though specifics on the affected issues aren't always disclosed. Despite its size and thirst, the Yukon XL Denali remains a standout in its class, blending muscular performance, generous interior capacity, robust standard features, and the refinement expected of a luxury-trim full-size SUV.
