First introduced in 2001, the 2012 GMC Yukon Denali and the regular Yukon were redesigned for the 2007 production year. Ever since its rebirth, the styling received the biggest overhaul, which is demonstrated with a flattened tailgate similar to the Tahoe. The grill and the headlights where modified as well, making the Denali Yukon distinct from its predecessors. If the regular Yukon and the Denali Yukon are compared and contrasted, the only exterior differences are the use of chrome accents, the insignia and the chrome grille.
