In 1998 at the time of its introduction the Yukon Denali's exterior was the same as that of the Cadillac Escalade, with only the front fascia and lower side body panels differing from the standard Yukon. In the interior, however, the Denali features many luxury options not available in the mainstream Yukon. These features included an upgraded leather interior, powerseats, and some woodgrain on the dashboard.

Even though the Yukon was redesigned alongside the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe in 2000, the Denali and Escalade retained their 1990s base design. It was not until 2002 that the Denali and Escalade were redesigned. While the Escalade departed from its Yukon based exterior design scheme in attempt to hide its humble roots, the Yukon Denali's exterior is almost the same as that of a post-2000 model year Yukon. Embossed side body panels and chrome sorrounding the headlights differentiate the Yukon Denali from the regular Yukon. 2002 also saw the introduction of the bullet pattern grille which now has become the hallmark of the Denali nameplate.

The Yukon Denali was redesigned for the 2007 model year alongside the regular mainstream Yukon. The only exterior difference between the Yukon Denali and the standard Yukon remains to be the bullet grille; and of course the insignias, embeveled rockerpanels, and chromed headlights.
