At the top of the range, the Denali trim blends performance with premium comfort, featuring advanced technologies, a distinctive design, and refined materials. All variants are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 175 horsepower. All-wheel-drive models deliver 275 Nm of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission, while front-wheel-drive versions manage 250 Nm via a CVT.
