Dominating looks, a commanding attitude and class-leading refinement have defined the legendary GMC Yukon for over 30 years. Embedded in its very DNA is the demand for engineering excellence, driving GMC to
bring new levels of power, capability and premium craftmanship to every iteration
of the Yukon since its inception in 1991, with the latter taken to new heights with
the introduction of the Yukon Denali trim in 1998.
GMC Yukon is woven into the fabric of the Middle East, as one of the region’s most
continually popular SUVs, facilitating both family getaways and solo adventures. To
celebrate the 30 years of the iconic Yukon, GMC will build 30, region exclusive, 30 th
Anniversary editions based on the Yukon Denali, the ultimate expression of GMC
premium.
“The GMC Yukon holds a special place in the heart of the region. This is the SUV
people grew up with, hitting the open road for Eid break, filling with family for
Friday lunch trips or cruising into the desert for a night under the stars. The Yukon
is a part of the family,” said Sharon Nishi, Chief Marketing Officer, GM Africa &
Middle East. “We’re celebrating the Yukon’s 30 th Anniversary with the fanfare it
deserves. From a limited number special edition Yukon Denali that showcase the
capability, power and refinement of GMC engineering to sharing the human stories
that drive us, the spotlight is firmly on the Yukon and its legacy with our customers
as well as future owners that aspire to be part of the GMC Family.”
The 30 th Anniversary GMC Yukon: Key Highlights
The iconic GMC Yukon is one of the most recognizable vehicles on the road today.
The 30 th Anniversary edition is limited to 30 units and is built on the premium Yukon
Denali trim, with a variety of unique accessories selected to highlight the Yukon
Denali’s stunning aesthetics with a contemporary darkened theme.
Each of the 30 units will carry the exclusive 30 th Anniversary emblems on the
exterior, as well as an interior plaque marking the vehicles designation out of the
30 that would be built. The interior mounted plaque will also be laser etched with
the vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number to ascertain its limited status.
With just 30 units and exclusive to the Middle East, the limited run provides a
higher level of distinction to the select GMC Yukon Denali 30 th anniversary edition
owners.
This limited edition run relies on a dark contemporary theme and will be appointed
in Onyx Black, the most popular GMC Yukon exterior colors since the legend was
born in 1991 – the GMC and Denali badging will also be in black accentuated by 22-
inch, high gloss black multi-spoke wheels.
The 30 th anniversary edition Yukon Denali’s darker theme illuminates evening drives
and welcomes driver and passengers with a GMC logo projection on the perimeter
lighting, while the illuminated front and rear door sill plates embossed with the
Denali badge ensure sophistication at every touchpoint.
Adding to the 30 th anniversary edition’s exterior and interior visual elements will be
the aural amplification of the Yukon Denali’s 6.2L V8 with the addition of a GM
performance Cat-Back Exhaust – this adds a distinctive V8 rumble to the
experience and reminds driver, passengers as well as passerby’s of the power that
resides within every Yukon.
