The all-new 2023 GMC Sierra Denali is getting another mid-cycle facelift. This time, a luxury pickup truck will introduce minor cosmetic upgrades. On the other hand, the interior will get more drastic changes. According to the latest spy photos, this model will get various improvements and some of them are interesting. The first spy photos are available and we had an opportunity to see the latest upgrades. Denali is the range-topping trim level.
It is far from an affordable truck but this model is full of luxury. We think the price perfectly reflects the level of comfort and performance. At this moment, we are not sure if General Motors plans to change the truck’s dimensions. Moreover, the new model will be a more off-road capable truck thanks to the additional equipment. However, changes on the inside are still the highlight.
2023 Sierra Denali Facelift
In terms of visual upgrades, the new 2023 GMC Sierra Denali will suffer small modifications. On the other hand, we think subtle upgrades are exactly what this truck needed. The approaching model will arrive with the revised headlights with a placeholder. Thanks to that, the front part comes without a simple grille swap that we can see on the current model.
The front fascia looks more extensive, but we don’t know what’s hiding beneath the heavy camouflage. The spied prototype wears unique 20-inch multi-dimensional polished aluminum wheels and the rear part is completely camouflaged. We are waiting to hear more details about Sierra’s design and possible dimensional changes.
Interior Changes
As we said, the upcoming 2023 GMC Sierra Denali will get numerous interior upgrades. The spy photos are proving that the latest stories weren’t just a rumor. While some parts are not visible thanks to the heavy camo, most of the cabin changes are visible at first glance. For a start, this mid-cycle refreshment includes a new push-button start setup, which means the old column-mounted shifter is gone. New steering wheels is available. This unit looks more modern and it wears a new row of silver buttons.
The Super Cruise indicator is something completely new. This feature will provide a semi-autonomous driving capability. Furthermore, the new 2023 Sierra Denali will introduce a new touchscreen that will sit on top of the dash. It means the current flat-panel infotainment display is gone as well. You can choose between two interior layouts, like in the Yukon SUV.
Sierra Denali Engine Specs
Things under the hood will largely remain. It means the 2023 GMC Sierra Denali will ride on the same 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine. Lower trim levels are using a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower. However, Denali is the range-topping trim level and it comes with more power.
Its proven V8 is capable of producing 420 hp and GM offers a relatively new 10-speed automatic transmission. We don’t expect to see improvements in terms of power or fuel-efficiency. That means the Sierra Denali will continue in the same manner, which isn’t a bad thing at all.
2023 GMC Sierra Denali Price and Release Date
The forthcoming 2023 GMC Sierra Denali will cost around $65,000. As we said, the price is not affordable but this model is known as one of the best-possible options in the pickup truck segment. The sales will begin next summer and we are waiting for General Motors to release further updates.
