The Signature Black specification is finished in Onyx Black exterior paint, and adds Black Vader Chrome exterior detailing, black exterior badging and 24-inch Black accessory wheels, with the Australian specification also including an illuminated GMC emblem. The second-row Captain’s Chairs brings first-class comfort, and a more spacious and premium experience.

The Yukon Denali Signature Black is powered by GM’s 6.2-litre EcoTec3 V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management, producing 313kW of power and 624Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and Active Response 4WD system, while Air Ride Adaptive four-corner suspension and Magnetic Ride Control support ride comfort and control across a range of road surfaces.

“The Yukon Denali Signature Black reflects how closely we listen to our customers and respond to what they want from a premium SUV. Developed with their feedback in mind, the second-row Captain’s Chairs and purpose-selected 24-inch wheels, finished in a distinctive all-black treatment, give customers a more individual expression of GMC luxury. Together, these features elevate the commanding comfort and presence that already define Yukon, while maintaining the towing and touring capability our customers value,” said Greg Rowe, Acting Managing Director, GM Australia & New Zealand.
