Around our office, the materials quality of GM products is always at the top of the list of complaints and this GMC Yukon is no exception. With a price tag north of $54,000, shouldn't the consumer expect a few soft-touch surfaces? GMC uses hard plastic for the upper and lower dash surfaces, relying solely on a two-tone finish to add an upscale look. The only place soft-touch surfaces (and I use that term lightly) are used is on the upper sections of the door panels, and even then you'll have to push hard to convince yourself it's flexible. The fake wood used throughout the interior isn't the best I've seen but it's not terrible either; still, for this price I would expect real wood. The leather upholstery is soft and appears to be of good quality, as is the plush carpeting and woven mesh headliner. One area where GM gets points is the aluminum-look grille that is actually high quality plastic but will fool onlookers without a close examination.
