Exterior

Looking at M.C. Yukon from the outside, it is easy to conclude that a lot of work has been done on the restyling version by designers and engineers. In the previous generation, the Yukon looked a little childish with a humorous “smile” on his face, and it seemed like the car was a little out of proportion. However, the changes in 2015 were all investigated and corrected. Now the restyled all-terrain vehicle is distinguished by a radiator grille, which is dominated by a large amount of chrome, with large letters “GMC”, C-shaped LED lamps and slightly flattened side doors to reduce wind noise while driving in the cabin.

The fog lamps are surrounded by a chrome strip, and the headlamps themselves have a more expressive look, with an attractive shape that flows smoothly further into the hood of the car. By the way, the hood acquired additional lines and folds that gave it relief. Thanks to it, the car became more powerful and assertive. Sideways, the car has not undergone cunning patterned forms. Paying attention to the stern of the GMC 2015 SUV, you can see a spoiler underneath which there is a windscreen wiper, and if not used, the driver gets a full view.
