GMC Denali, a version of General Motor's SUV's recently releases a new version. This is the 2009 GMC Denali. The difference of this model is that it gives an aura of confident road presence due to its muscular form and wide firmly planted stance. It also has minimal overhangs, large wheels, sleek headlamps and a low roof profile. These characteristics allow this car to give an aggressive and performance-oriented appearance.

Unlike the 2009 GMC Denali, the 2005 Denali has a V8 engine capable with a 325 horsepower and a 370-lb/ft torque. This engine power though is a bit low as you can only drive at 12 mpg around the city and 16 mpg on the highway.

But with the 2009 Denali, General Motor's has combined two-mode hybrid system with the E-85 ethanol capable engine. Giving this car a new and a more fuel-efficient 4.9L SIDI engine with Active Fuel Management powers with an estimated horsepower of 326. This car also uses an 85% ethanol and 15% gas fuel.

The 2005 GMC Denali also has GM's Quadrasteer 4-wheel steering, which reduces the turning circle at low speeds and is designed to enhance stability at higher speeds and when towing. While the 2009 GMC Denali has a 4-link suspension design that uses coil over shocks and a decoupled stabilizer bar to enhance comering control, reduce body roll and optimize longitudinal compliance. In short it is a truck that would be capable of hauling cargo on twisting roads.

The 2009 Denali has a payload capacity of 1,100 pounds and a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. With stiffness that is greater than most conventional, body on frame trucks, the 2009 Denali's concept unibody structure supports a very capable truck platform. It also will serve as the mounting point for a 4-wheel independent suspension that could give the vehicle its performance feel on the road.

The 2005 Denali has 3-rows of seats that can accommodate up to nine persons. But the third row can be easily folded, flipped, slides or removed to suits your needs. It even has an adjustable second row bucket seat that offers an excellent support. Whereas the 2009 Denali only has two rows of seats but the midgate can be opened. So the second row seats can be folded to accommodate in the bed something longer like skis or surfboards.

The 2005 Denali is a car that looks like a Tahoe while the 2009 model is a hybrid between the suburban and the pick up at the back. Choosing between the two models depends on what you want and need.
