GMC unveiled its 2018 Yukon Denali Ultimate Black Edition ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The package adds black-painted 22-inch wheels with chrome inserts, polished exhaust tip, chrome mirror caps, premium carpeted floor mats, and an exclusive Onyx Black exterior paint to the Yukon Denali.
Additional features include the Open Road Package, which consists of a nine-month trial of Sirius XM and NavTraffic; power sunroof and rear-seat entertainment system; Power-Retractable Assist Steps; and an Enhanced Security Package.
The Ultimate Black Edition is available on rear-wheel and four-wheel-drive models.
The 2018 Yukon Denali, which was announced earlier this year, feaures a new 10-speed automatic transmission, sculpted grill, and Mastique Ash real wood trim.
To celebrate the Ultimate Black Edition, GMC partnered with Little Damage, a soft-serve ice cream shop in downtown Los Angeles. Throughout the duration of the L.A. Auto Show, consumers can enjoy a new Ultimate Black flavor topped with Denali chrome chocolate chips and served in the shop's signature black activated charcoal cones.
