GMC Models and “Denali” Designation
Some of its specifications may refer to specific characteristics of a vehicle. This is the case of the Denali series, a qualifier for certain GMC vehicles.

It has become more and more difficult to shop for any type of vehicle without bumping into titles, names, categories, other variants and/or models that can quickly get overwhelming even for someone who possesses advanced knowledge on cars. Some of these specifications may refer to precise characteristics pertaining to a certain vehicle or may seem a little more general and rather vaguely describe an idea or concept. This is notably the case for the Denali series, a qualifier that describes some of the cars made by GMC, which you will find at Christin Chevrolet, your Chevrolet dealership in Montreal, located near Laval and Repentigny.

Denali: A Superior Experience

When labeled on a GMC-built vehicle, the title Denali refers to a more sophisticated, luxurious and comfortable variant of its predecessor. The Acadia , Terrain , Sierra , Yukon and Canyon models each have a Denali variant that offers among other things contrasted trimmings, unique and characteristical lights, more defined hoods and more profiled lines, body lights, better soundproofing, a clearly enhanced interior, more tire options, etc. Next time you hear the term Denali, think luxury and refinement.

Inspired by the Heavens

We all understand very well that the term Denali refers to a higher and more luxurious range of vehicles made by GMC, but why this word in particular, what does it mean exactly? It is rather hard to sound categorical considering that GMC has neither confirmed nor infirmed none of the existing theories, leaving the most plausible to be this one: Denali is the name of the American mountain with the highest altitude which used to be known under the name of Mount McKinley. Furthermore, some say that the term Denali means “high”, “great” or “the great” in the original language spoken by the first inhabitants of the region surrounding this mountain. This hypothesis gives a satisfying enough explanation as for the choice of this rather interesting name given by GMC.


Luxury, refinement, greatness: this is what the GMC-made Denali vehicles should inspire in you. It is now time to choose yours, so do not waste a single moment and come see us at Christin Chevrolet, your Chevrolet dealership in Montreal, located near Laval and Repentigny.
