GMC Yukon Denali

The GMC Yukon Denali reaches 60 mph in 7.16 s (100 km/h in 7.52 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.46 s, tripping the lights at 93.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.57 s and the eighth mile in 10.17 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Yukon Denali

The 2009 GMC Yukon Denali is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,291 kg with 380 bhp, which works out at 166 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.57 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,940th quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 10 GMCs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 93.7 mph, the 4,032nd highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the GMC Yukon Denali 0-60 time?
The GMC Yukon Denali reaches 60 mph in 7.16 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,940th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the GMC Yukon Denali quarter mile time?
15.46 s at 93.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.17 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.57 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the GMC Yukon Denali have?
380 bhp and 2,291 kg, which is 166 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 172 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the GMC Yukon Denali?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac SRX V8 (7.30 s), Lexus RX 350 V6 272 (7.05 s), Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291 (7.06 s). Each one can be raced against the GMC Yukon Denali in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The GMC Yukon Denali is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
