The luggage space and storage space available is very less and as such it is very inconvenient to use for long journeys. The navigation system of the car also is very sensitive and causes a lot of trouble. The overall fit and finish of the car is not up to the mark and peels off early.
There are electrical issues as well with the electrical points provided being very less. The gas consumption is very high and it offers very low mileage and fuel economy. The provided 17 inches wheel package is not good enough and the upgrade to 20 inches wheel package is quite costly.
The leather seats provided and the wood trim are also not of a good quality. The sunroof is not remote controlled but has to be operated by a switch. The controls of the radio and the cd player also do not operate well and hence bring down the quality of the sound system.
The leather seats provided are very uncomfortable and as such it can cause great inconvenience especially during long journeys. The size of the Denali models also make it difficult to park. The facility provided for cup holders is also not adequate.
The third row seats are really uncomfortable with no cargo space and the rear end is not that intact. Its high ground clearance makes visibility difficult. Above all, the cost of these vehicles is so much that only after a lot of consideration and thought, they should be purchased
Water leaking through the headliner is also possible. There is no provision for features like snow chains which could have helpful in times of bad weather. The speedometer provided also is very sensitive and shows incorrect readings many times. Even the customer reports that came out for 2005 GMC Denali rated it below average in the areas of suspension and drive system.
Thus the GMC Denali line is internationally famous,it has several shortcomings which need to be taken care of for the customers satisfaction and for the company’s reputation.
