100% agree with your wife. LOL. I unfortunately wasn't able to get the Adaptive CC on mine (which, is still sitting in Midlothian) but I'm not feelin' the auto-anything when it comes to a car. Have you seen AI?

Will be nice if they offer that grey-chrome grill/surronding as an OEM part in the near future.
I agree with @Banks22 rims seem rather so-so, and don't seem to fit the price point,, IMHO. None of their rim selection really is too appealing, and for the money they want, might as well go aftermarket for the same price.

Glad they didnt wait for the '24 refresh to make some improvements. My guess is we have the Wagoneer to thank for some of these changes.

Now the question is ..... do you get the 23 ultimate, or wait for the "refresh" 24 ultimate for the other changes that they are doing.

I definitely dig the Vader Chrome and at first glance like the wheels (gives it a 3/4 ton feel). I also like the brown leather interior, the rest of the tech is cool and all but not something I would be willing to trade up for at this point (I say that, however, if the dealer wants to give me more than I paid for mine like they did on my previous trade I'd be glad to upgrade LOL). I am in the camp where supercruise and massage seats are just not appealing. I am not ready to put my life in the hands of a computer driver especially with the track record for electronics, and do I really need my ass rubbed while I am supposed to be paying attention the road in front of me?

Zero chance that the cost of the ‘23 upgrades comes anywhere close to what the difference in increased MSRP will be from the ‘22.
They are going to make an absolute killing on those willing to upgrade..

I agree, massage seats and super cruise is basically what u are upgrading too which I could give a rats ass about. The seats r nice, the Vader chrome is sweet, that could be done after market tho with paint much cheaper.

If Denali Ultimate is 100k, give me a Sport Escalade with Brandy interior and super cruise for pretty much the same price. I’m thinking the Denali Ultimate will be about $6-8k less than the mid trim Escalade.

I built an Escalade the other day and it was $123K.

Why aftermarket? Unless I’m missing something; I don’t see any difference between the front end of the ‘23 Denali vs. the ‘21-‘22. Just find and use a VIN # from a ‘23 Denali Ultimate and then order OEM “replacements” for the front grill and trim pieces. Then it’s just a simple remove and replace.
$123k Escalade would be highest trim level with every optionI built an Escalade the other day and it was $123K.

XL or fail....

You are correct with the front end being the same. The ultimate has a more grayish chrome, "vader chrome" as they are calling it, which is a little more Suttle and not as flashy. My terminology was wrong, I didn't mean a third party aftermarket, I mean OEM swapout if/when they offer the parts. I will adjust my original post to correct that wording.

Current Yukon Denali XL with reserve package ( no RSE) is 87k so I’d say 92k+

I was kind of waiting to see for 2023 ... trying to decide between a Denali and Escalade.
I like the Vader Chrome (is all the chrome on it vader chrome or just the grille?) ... and the (late) availability of Super Cruise.
I don't care for the Leather color or the wood look personally. Like the massage option, but this might bring it too close (not that it's still not a big difference) to an Escalade price wise for me to choose this. I don't like the rims either. Maybe will just stick with a regular Denali.
I would imagine the 2024 will get a more typical mid-cycle refresh.
Hmmm ... I want something more understated than an Escalade but like the Escalade features.

You definitely priced out a Platinum Escalade. You can get the mid level trim with the upgraded Brandy interior, power steps, and super cruise for $102k. Better tech, 1 additional speaker, comparable leather, but no massage seats on the mid level Escalade. I gotta assume the Denali Ultimate will be less, but will it be a big enough difference to not sway consumers to the Escalde.I built an Escalade the other day and it was $123K.

I was looking at photos on the GMC website and noticed the spot where the heated steering wheel button is located has been replaced by what I assume to be the Supercruise activation button. Wonder if you don’t get a heated steering wheel with Supercruise. That would suck in the North where I live as I’m SOOO spoiled by having a heated steering wheel (in the past 5 consecutive vehicles I’ve owned)!
