2008 GMC Envoy Denali

If you want everything this rear-wheel drive mid-sized SUV has to offer all in one package, look to the 2008 GMC Envoy Denali. Not only does it come with more features, but also more horsepower -- 300 of it, provided by a 5.3-liter V8 and 4-speed automatic. The powertrain delivers 321 ft-lbs of torque. The 2008 Envoy Denali seats four in two rows, with 60/40 split-folding rear seats that expand the 43 cubic foot cargo hold to 80 cubic feet. The Denali adds a standard cargo net and cover to the tie-downs. A roof rack is already standard. The power liftgate opens separately from the flip-up rear window.

Dual front and side curtain airbags for both rows, 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, side impact door beams, and traction and stability control are part of the safety equipment. The Denali adds a locking rear differential and headlight washers. Also included are automatic headlights, foglights, halogen lamps, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a tire monitor. The Denali rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires, and comes with a tire inflator. A smoother feel comes with the automatic rear load-leveling suspension and extra sound insulation.

In terms of luxury upgrades, the 2008 Envoy Denali ups the ante with an 8-way power passenger seat to match the driver's, power lumbar support, a security system, automatic climate control, and wood interior trim. Leather seats and trim, a CD/MP3 player with satellite radio, full power features, remote entry, heated mirrors, a garage opener, trip computer, temperature display and compass, tilt steering, and both rear seat and wheel-mounted audio controls are already standard. Front and rear cupholders and power outlets are family-oriented, and you can add a DVD player and 6-CD changer for more entertainment. An option only offered on the 2008 Envoy Denali is a navigation system. The only major option left is a sunroof.
