2016 GMC Yukon Denali: Style and Substance

General Motors has the market cornered in the large SUV market. With the Chevrolet Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade, and the GMC Yukon. GM sold 130,000 of their full size SUVs in 2015, which is more vehicles sold than many brands do in a single year. The GMC Yukon has a extended length version with the Yukon XL and a premium version with the Yukon Denali.

2016 Yukon Denali

The Yukon Denali is an SUV that commands a presence. The exterior of the Yukon Denali Is covered in chrome from head to toe, from the massive grill to the huge 22-inch chrome rims. Massive, crisp LED headlights and taillights shine light onto the whole SUV and complete the look.

The amount of technology they have managed to include in the Denali is also quite impressive. An 8-inch touchscreen driver infotainment is the centerpiece of the Yukon Denali’s dash. A dashboard lined in leather and that is trimmed out in aluminum accents. Underneath it all, the Yukon Denali packs in GMs 4G LTE Wi-Fi, which can pair up to 7 devices. Coupled with a Blu-Ray player in the rear and Bluetooth phone and audio, internet and satellite radio, a wireless charging pad, weather information and text message alerts round out the tech highlights of the Yukon Denali.

GM and Lyft partner to offer car leases for drivers

Everywhere you go now you see more and more Uber and Lyft drivers, so many so, that cab drivers are beginning to be few and far between.

In the first eight months of the year, in Los Angeles alone, almost 18,000 people have been turned down as Lyft drivers. Because they didn’t have a car or their car didn’t met the company’s requirements. This week, those wannabe Lyft drivers have another option. Through a partnership with General Motors called Express Drive, they can lease one on the cheap or even for free if they give enough rides.

Through Lyft's new Express Drive program, Lyft applicants now have the option of leasing a GM vehicle for $150 to $180 per week, including insurance—or for free, if they give at least 75 rides in a week. The weekly leases are $150 or $180 per week and include insurance, maintenance and mileage while driving for Lyft. Drivers have to pay for gas and 25 cents per mile for mileage accrued when they aren’t driving the car for Lyft.

General Motors isn’t the only auto maker to partner with a ride-hailing service. Earlier this year, Toyota partnered with Uber, which itself has a ride-hailing partnership with Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Volkswagen also partnered with the ride-hailing service Gett. But Lyft's Express Drive service with GM marks the first time an auto maker is making its vehicles directly available to ride-hail drivers.

Drivers apply for Express Drive through the Lyft app. If they do not own an eligible vehicle, applicants are asked if they would like to rent a car through GM, which is currently offering two mid-size sedan options: the Malibu and Impala. The sedans were selected for their combination of interior room, trunk space (for airport pickups) and fuel economy. Within a few months, GM will also also offer its compact Cruze sedan, the plug-in hybrid electric Volt and all-electric Bolt subcompact.
