Denali ACC

[Corvette Scott]

Have a new Yukon Denali XL. It appears not to have adaptive cruise control? It has lane departure, the gap adjustment and full cameras along with max towing package. Can it be added? Seems unacceptable not to have it on a SUV at this price. Was built in July 2022
Thanks

If you have all that it should have it unless it's malfunctioning.

But I agree adaptive should be standard on everything.

It is on the cheapest imports.

ACC was not available on standard Denalis until Oct 3 or later builds. It cannot be retrofitted unfortunately.

Check your window sticker. Was supposed to be in the advanced tech, but you may have had a build in the time it was unavailable, or you may not have the advanced tech package, in which case you don’t have it. If you do have it, your instrument cluster will flash a message about how to change to regular cruise every time you set it…

Wait... On the '21 or '22+ you can CHANGE between ACC and regular cruise control? If so, that is a very awesome feature.

@Corvette Scott I would find it very odd that you didn't have ACC since you have the gap adjustment. The ACC very much depends on the gap adjustment feature and it's settings. So if you have your cruise control set to 75 mph and you approach a vehicle traveling 71 mph your Denali doesn't slow down and decrease it's cruising speed and maintain the gap adjustment settings you chose?

No, it does not. Looked at the window sticker and I don't see it listed or any credit.

yes you can...The more I see posted about 22's and 23's... Missing Chips, missing features, bad RSE, Google based Infotainment, etc. Seems to reinforce the fact that so far the 21's were the ones to have out of the box....

@CMoore711, yes, you can switch between ACC and Standard Cruise mode. From the 2022 Owners Manual:

And, yes, it is a "feature" to show you the following distance (in seconds) of time between you and the oncoming vehicle, as it supports the forward collision warning system:

My General advice is all owners should spend some serious time reading in the driver assistance section of the owners manual, there are a lot of features in these systems which are mis-understood by users...and your driving experience will be enhanced if you get to understand and know how they all work together.

I don't know about that. The digital guage cluster plus availability of adaptive on lower trims makes it worth it to get a 2022 or newer. Plus less lifters grenading engines and duramax not having the long start issue on later years.

Cars get improved as they go into their product cycle. RSE is fine with a mirror stick or similar.

Vehicles also go through cost savings initiatives every model year. When a new model is designed, management has cost targets for the project. Eventually timing of getting it released for production takes precedence over optimized designs. Each year engineers are tasked with finding cost savings initiatives to implement for the next model year.

For example I've noticed on all the '23s the button to turn on/off the power outlets throughout the vehicle is gone from the switch pack on the dash, to the left of the steering wheel. You can argue that button was unnecessary and some people didn't even know it was there - but I guarantee an engineer said "Hey, do you think customers actually use that button?" Upper management said "I think you're right - nobody bothers to ever touch that button - let's remove it from the '23s when they change over." This is one change that's visible - I'm sure there's others across the whole vehicle - some might not matter - others end up causing quality issues later on.

Yes. We call them improvements. All vehicles get better in their product cycles. Sometimes they are made simpler because it's better and more efficient. No one wants a 1st year anything regardless of brand because of the teething issues. The last model year of a specific line before a redesign is always considered the best because all issues are ironed out at that point.

2021 Suburban LS came with the 10.2" infotainment system. 2022/23 Suburban LS comes with the 8" infotainment system from the Fleet model. Is that an improvement? Sure - issues get ironed out, I'm not disagreeing with that - but there will always be small changes each year to bring the cost down.

I took delivery of my 2022 in February of this year and it has ACC.

Edit: Sorry, I see you said Standard Denali's. Carry on lol.

You gained some standard safety tech . the screen size is the only downgrade but most option that out anyways. Regardless they get improved.

All good. I was referencing 23s. On 22s it available throughout production I believe

I am not sure if any of GM's people see these threads...for a vehicle as expensive as Yukon Denali, ACC should be standard...I don't understand why GM does that or at least let the customers know, once the micro chips become available, then the owners of these Yukon Denali's can go and get them installed. My understanding is when adding g the ACC, as long as your Denali has all the other requirements, sensors, cameras, gap adjustment etc...them it's a matter of some serious programming of the computer brain, which is located inside behind the steering wheel area. People spending $80 plus thousand, should have ACC standard period.

Yeah i agree but many who consider gm full size suvs are tech averse for some reason....

You can have it out of my 2016 Yukon. Worst POS I've seen out of GM in 55 years
