The 2003 GMC Yukon XL Denali is the extra-large, extended
version of the Denali. It retains all the features that
combine to make the Denali an exceptional vehicle within
the premium full-size SUV class, and adds more than a foot
of extra room. The 2003 GMC Yukon XL Denali is given upgrades
across the board, resulting in the most prestigious model
that has ever rolled off the line. Everything from interior
comfort to safety and performance are improved, as the Denali
continues to move forward with the times.
Available Models
Because the 2003 GMC Yukon XL Denali comes with so many
features in its standard package; there is space enough
for only one model in the lineup.
Interior Features
The XL Denali seats up to nine people. With a wheelbase
of 130 inches, there is plenty of room on the inside for
everyone involved, with enough storage area in the trunk
to hold the rest of the goods. Leather upholstery is standard,
as are a host of new features, including new seats, a redesigned
instrument panel, a new driver information center and eight-button
steering wheel controls. Also included is the highly convenient
OnStar system, given a standard link on the steering wheel.
A new tri-zone automatic climate control system heats up
and cools down the XL Denali remarkably quick. Passengers
and driver can set the temperature to differing levels,
depending on their wish. About the only feature not standard
is a DVD system, which is available as an option.
Exterior Features
For 2003, the XL Denali is available in a new color: Carbon
Metallic. Also new are body-colored exterior rearview mirrors
that improve safety and visibility with power-fold, curb-tilt
capability and integrated turn-signal indicators.
Performance
The XL Denali is given plenty of power to deal with its
larger frame. The standard engine is a Vortec 6.0-liter
V8 with 320 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 365lb-ft of torque
at 4000 rpm. All-wheel drive is standard, as is 4-speed
automatic transmission. The fuel economy on the XL Denali
has been improved with a new transfer case, while power
adjustable brake and accelerator pedals provide more comfortable,
safer vehicle operation for shorter drivers by adjusting
2.95 inches rearward.
The StabiliTrak system is standard with Denali models.
Using sophisticated sensors that monitor the vehicle's suspension,
steering and braking systems, StabiliTrak compares the driver's
intended path with the vehicle's actual path, and selectively
adjusts engine torque and any of the four brakes to help
bring the vehicle under control.
Safety and Security
The 2003 Yukon XL Denali also sees improvements in safety.
A new passenger-sensing airbag system monitors the size
of occupants and deactivates in certain conditions where
deployment would cause injury. For stopping, the XL Denali
boasts HydroBoost hydraulic power, four-wheel disc, four-wheel
antilock brakes with dual piston calipers, Dynamic Rear
Proportioning and brake proportioning differential valve.
