 Hey guys, Thundie here and it's the holidays. I'm taking a road trip to go visit family and I have the GMC Yukon Denali 2022. This bad boy's a beast. So let's see what kind of tech is inside the car. It's big. All right, so let's start off by taking a look at this car. It is a beauty all around. Now the color I have here is a dark maroon. I really like how it looks. Now, this is the first time I've actually driven the Yukon Denali and I've got to say though, styling wise it's great. At the very front of the car you've got this nice massive grille. It says GMC and you've got those LED headlights that are big. They are really great at night. Now you've got the GMC badging all around this car. You've got it at the front corners on either side, either the driver and the passenger side. Looks really nice. Nice simple detail there. It says Denali but underneath the door. Now, when we open up that hood we have a 6.2 liter V8 engine which gives you a lot of power for towing, tailoring, trail airing as well as also just the drive itself. Now, moving around the car we've got a 22 inch rims. They are nice especially for this car. We've also got a lift gate as well that opens up when you're about to get in but we go around to the back of the vehicle and here is where I found some really just cool tech in the car. So you can open up the top of the trunk to basically just quick access to drop things or pick things up. Or you can actually open up the whole thing whether you're using of course the button your remote, whatever the case may be. Now this gives you a sizable trunk to put in stuff but from here you can lower the middle seats all the way down and you can also lower the third row with those buttons at the back of the car giving you quick access so you can add more room. And this was great for my trip I was able to put in more stuff in the car to go see family for the holidays. So that actually was pretty cool. Other thing also you do have a full-size power plug there so you can plug in tools or TV if you're tailgating whatever the case may be maybe an electric grill you can use that right there with that power plug. Honestly, the driving experience in this vehicle is fantastic. It felt really comfortable. It felt lighter than the size of the vehicle itself and it was great just going from New York all the way to Massachusetts. Now when you're in the car you're greeted with just some incredible interior. So once you get into this vehicle you're gonna be treated to the Denali trim which is what I had in here in this package which is leather accents and you can see that nice brown leather kind of matches with the maroon outside. You've got wood accent panelling around the door and also to the passenger side which is great. You also have leather seats, fully leather seats all throughout the car. Nice, has the Denali logo heated seats so you've got heating on both the top and the bottom part of the seats and also they are cool seats as well so it depends on where you are. Now you also have 14 speakers around the car which is great so your navigation kind of comes from the very top of the car where some of the speakers are. I like that so it kind of separates the sound but it's very great audio experience. Now when you're sitting in the vehicle on the driver's side you've got a lot of things in front of you. It can be a little bit daunting but it's actually not that difficult. Now left of the steering wheel you do have your drive modes where you can switch between drive modes like your sports, your two wheel drives, your four wheel drive and so on and so forth and you've got the power management for those power plugs in the car. They actually two, one was in the trunk and one is in the middle row and then we move over to the center where your wheel is. Now the wheel has buttons behind for your music playback. You've got a few option buttons for the screen in front of you and then you do have a 15 inch heads up display. That is great because your navigation also shows up as a display. You don't have to look left or right. You can look straight ahead of you and you have access to the road and what you're seeing there. So that is really awesome. Now we'll move to the right of the steering wheel and by the way that's a leather steering wheel with heated steering wheel as well. We have the drive shifters so you can choose between park and drive and all that. It's interesting, there's just right on the panel there next to the massive touchscreen but it works out pretty well. Now the touchscreen itself is a 12.8 inch touchscreen. This is where a lot of things are housed and this is one of the fun parts of the car. Now you've got Google Assistant built into it but not just Google Assistant, you have basically, you can sign into your Android account and you've got full Google navigation with this. I like it because it allows you to do a lot of things. So number one, you can just go through the information system of the car and you can see all the different things you want to do from your settings to charging options and things like that for your smartphone but also you can use the voice assistant like you're using it in any other place. So I can navigate home if I want to. I can look for restaurants. I don't have to leave the wheel but one of the best things is also that I can control my smart appliances at home by telling Google to turn off the master bedroom lights and it actually would do that off through the car and control the stuff at home. So I like that simple synergy. It's something you can do off your phone but while you're driving you don't want to pick it up on anything and this is a great way to do that and I really enjoyed the experience because while we drove, we stopped by a couple of places so it's easy for us to do that navigation. Now within that display is where you do have access to a few other things. Like the nine cameras around the car giving you 360 view and honestly it was great for parking because it's been a while since I've driven a vehicle this large so it was nice to see all angles and trust me, it's awesome. You can go ahead and download apps from the app store, mostly audio based apps and you do have access to the two displays at the back there, two displays for the mineral seats which you can access there. Now there are no video apps you can use with it so that's something just to take note and then also you have Wi-Fi built into this and this is really, really important. I like this because it allows you to do much more. So for instance, you know there's Wi-Fi, you know I have two screens so I definitely went ahead and I connected my Xbox Series S and I hung out with my cousin and we just kind of gamed in the back of the car which is fantastic. So you think about it for a long road trip in this case, we just kind of parked the car and then we played some Halo Infinite and we played some Forza Horizon 5. It's nice the fact that if you're traveling with kids, family members, a lot of people, you can have access to just two screens. You either mirror the screens, you can have two individual sources because you've got two HDMI ports there within that second row to actually feeding to that and you're able to play and watch content. So for me it was a great experience to just chill with my cousin in a way from everybody else and we just kind of gamed in the car and that was a great experience. Now, some of the other things you find in the car in that center console, they also two more USB type-C ports which is great because you can charge your devices there but the third row also has USB type-C ports as well allowing for charging in those third. Everybody in the car can charge their phones whatever they want to, which is great. Now for the driver and the main passenger, you do have wireless charging right there with just one wireless charging charge spot but there's also USB type-C port and then USB type-A port as well. Now the center console itself has this really cool place where you can, I wish it was a wireless charger but it really isn't making place your phone there if you want to and you can move that center console back to give you more space or more storage space. So this access to it with a button at the very top of the car and you can actually go ahead and access more space. Now, speaking of the top of the car we've got a nice massive moonroof that allows you to open it up all the way to the back giving you just more light in the car, more scenery. It's a great look altogether. Honestly, there's a lot I really love about this vehicle. You've got a lot of great features. The trim is nice. They've done a lot of things to make you feel comfortable. There's a lot of seating space whether you're sitting in the middle row, the second row, or you're even sitting in the third row like myself and my cousin, we bought about six feet too and we had enough space and room to seat in this car. When you're taking long trips, that Wi-Fi is pretty great. Being able to connect, especially the other people in the car, if they want to do work, they can actually go ahead and do that within the vehicle because you've got a built-in hotspot and that is through AT&T and OnStar. So that is something that is great for just like the whole family as a whole. And for me, I think this is the kind of improvements I like to see with vehicles. Not just going into EVs but just stuff that makes things more practical while you're driving, you're taking long trips while using the car. It's a great fun experience and honestly, I really enjoyed it. I never thought I would enjoy driving a Yukon Denali but I do miss this vehicle and I like the improvements that they've done here. I love to see it in more GM vehicles across the line and I like to see more of that integration they have with Google because it made for the driving experience really simple and easy where once I was signed in, I just had to walk into the car, tell the car when I had to go and also just do different things when I was looking for restaurants or using my smart home features and using things in the car quite easily. So that is my look at the 2022 GMC Yukon Denali. I think it's a great vehicle. This package is roughly around $89,000 but you can build your own package. You should definitely use the link down below if you wanna check it out. And honestly, if you're a Yukon fan, Denali fan, this is something that will fit you quite well. So if you guys have any questions and comments, let me know. If you really enjoyed this video, the fact that, hey, we are doing something that will be different on the channel, we still gamed in the car and it was a fun experience but if you wanna check it out, let me know so we can do more car videos for you. This is Thundie, he's saying thank you and always enjoy your entertainment.
