2009 GMC Yukon Denali Hybrid Review

Heavy Duty Hybrid

A three-quarter front view of a red 2009 GMC Yukon Denali Hybrid

In short: A fuel-saving full-size SUV.

With the new Yukon Denali Hybrid, the GMC brand—best known for its fuel-thirsty fleet of trucks and SUVs—puts on its best eco-friendly face to deliver a full-size sport ute that provides excellent towing and cargo capacity while still remaining (sort of) fuel-efficient. However, in the world of GMC, going "green" is still a relative term—fitted with a 6.0-liter, 332-horsepower V8 engine, the Yukon Denali is one hybrid that isn't afraid to flex a little muscle.
