Exterior
A truck-derived grille anchors the front fascia, linking the headlamp assemblies to fog light housings below. This visual treatment borrows styling cues from GMC’s full-size truck portfolio, creating a more grounded road presence. The grille acts as the primary recognition feature and reinforces brand identity across multiple vehicle classes.

Interior
Cabin architecture employs long horizontal elements to visually widen the interior space. Chrome trim flows across the dashboard insert, door uppers, and centre console armrest. Controls fall naturally under the driver’s hands, and wireless charging stations sit adjacent to the armrest for phone access during travel.
Heated front seats appear throughout the trim lineup. Denali models gain ventilated front seats plus heated rear outboard positions. Five-passenger seating is standard.
