 Specification image modification exterior interior price review 2014 GMC Sierra
welcome to Neonista.blogspot.com website that provides a variety of information about the latest cars in the world. and this time we will share information about the2014 GMC Sierra, the following information
 During an interview in Detroit, Mark Reuss, GM’s North American President said that for the next generation of GM full-size pickups, due for launch as 2014 models, the plan is to move the Sierra more upmarket with a greater list of standard equipment, more distinctive sheetmetal and corresponding higher sticker prices; a similar strategy has so far proved quite successful for GMC’s line of SUVs.

Such a move finally sweeps away the last vestiges of badge-engineering at America’s biggest automaker, something the “old” General Motors was notoriously known for.
“I think you will see equipment and models attacked very differently,” Reuss declared. “If we are going to carry two brands, we are going to make them pay their way.”

The Sierra 1500 was also sorely in need of a visual refresh, as it hadn’t been significantly touched since the 2007 model year. Top-of-the-line GMC Sierra models carry the refined, chiseled new look for GMC, much as it’s evolved in recently refreshed models like the Terrain Denali. Details are a little crisper in the GMC compared to the otherwise very closely related Chevy Silverado, and the very bold, black-and-metallic grille, flanked by LED-lined projector headlamps (the segment’s only projector-beam units, GMC says), make a strong first impression—as do the chunky, flared fenders and more sculpted sheetmetal in between. Although we anticipate that not everyone will like that the Sierra 1500 now looks as big and buff as the Sierra 2500 and 3500 HD models. Inside, the dash is very upright, with a simple but bold design, and the doorsills are several inches lower than the dash top. Controls are arranged in several key areas, just to the left of the steering wheel or in a large center-stack area (with a wide center console just aft), and all the controls and displays are large and straightforward, with cool blue primary lighting and red backlighting.


New for 2014, Sierra Crew Cab models are offered with two different bed lengths—5’8” or 6’6”—while regular-cab models are offered in 6’6” or 8’ lengths and the extended-cab versions all include the middle size. Crew Cab models get longer doors as well, with the B-pillars moved forward, resulting in easier entry and exit, and extended-cab versions get front-hinged rear doors for the first time—nearly rivaling the outgoing Crew Cab models in convenience. All Sierras with leather upholstery now include heated seats, and models with cloth seats are available with seat heating. The interior is appointed in new soft-touch materials, and there’s a new aluminum-trim line. All knobs and buttons in the Sierra’s interior are large enough to be operated with work gloves on. A thinner seatback design aids rear legroom, too.

The 2014 Sierra trucks are also offered with a few innovative new features that should make cargo hauling easier. new rear-bumper cargo steps are new, as are four movable cargo tie-downs capable of securing 500 pounds altogether; LED lighting has been incorporated into the rim of the bed, and an EZ Lift and Lower tailgate has a new damping system for easier (and more refined) opening and closing.

Safety features get upgraded as well, with a suite of new active-safety aids that are optional. Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning—both camera-based—can help you stay aware of hazards, and the optional Driver Alert Seat can vibrate with pulses on either side to alert the driver quickly to issues. Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist are included as part of the standard StabiliTrak stability control system.source:thecarconnection.com,autoguide.com

ENGINE
The mammoth 2011 GMC Yukon XL is offered in half-ton 1500, three-quarter-ton 2500 and high-end Denali models. Closely resembling the Chevrolet Suburban, the 2011 Yukon XL 1500 is available in rear- or four-wheel-drive configurations, while the Denali has a permanent all-wheel-drive system. The 2011 GMC Yukon XL 1500 is powered by a whopping 310-horsepower, 5.3-liter flex-fuel V-8 engine with 335 pounds-feet of torque and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission plus auto-manual mode.

When properly equipped, the 2011 GMC Yukon XL 1500 can tow a truck-like 8,100 pounds, while the XL 2500 can haul up to 9,600 pounds. EPA estimated fuel economy ratings range between 12-15 mpg in the city and 17-20 mpg on the highway, which isn’t bad considering its size.  As far as competition in the extra-long full-size SUV segment goes, only the Ford Expedition EL, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL 2500 can compete.
SAFETY
Standard safety features include:

    -Front dual-stage airbags with passenger-sensing system

The Yukon and Yukon XL family of full-size SUVs continues to offer an uncompromising package of capability, comfort and refinement. They offer distinctive styling, spacious and refined interiors, exceptional driving characteristics and segment-leading safety features – including standard head curtain side air bags for all seating rows on all models.

Pricing: car pricing will be officially released prior to its release in the middle of 2010. Prices should be slightly above the current amounts of $38,020 MSRP and S35,359 invoice for the base model. Fuel economy: since no major changes are expected for the new model year, the 2011 GMC Yukon’s fuel economy should remain the same, at 14 mpg city/20 mpg highway for the two-wheel drive version, and 12 mpg city/19 mpg highway for the all-wheel drive version.
INTERIOR
The Yukon and Yukon XL are available in two trim levels: SLE (cloth) and SLT (leather). Both feature a spacious and refined environment, thanks to a premium tone-on-tone color scheme and a lower-positioned instrument panel. A third-row seat is standard on all Yukon models.

Sculpted seat designs and detailed trim affirm the vehicles' craftsmanship, which is bolstered by optional amenities such as heated seats for first- and second-row passengers. Also, the front seats offer plenty of fore/aft and recline travel, and the second-row seats have a comfortable angle for the seatback recline.

Craftsmanship is seen in unexpected areas, such as distinctive sill plates that greet occupants when the doors are opened, and there are no exposed fasteners or hardware on the pillars, seats or seat tracks. The seats have 'close-outs' that surround the seat bottoms and seat tracks, creating a more finished appearance. The undersides of the seats are covered, too, when folded.

The Yukon and Yukon XL also offer an industry-exclusive power fold-and-tumble second-row seat feature that eases access to the third-row seat. The power fold-and-tumble second-row seats feature release buttons accessible by the driver on the overhead console or on the interior C-pillar to provide an easy, immediate release of the seat and an access path to the third-row seat or cargo area.

Yukon and Yukon XL interiors are versatile, too. The third-row seats fold flat and are easily tumbled forward or removed for maximum cargo area. Also, the center console storage compartment, at 20.1 liters of capacity, is the segment's largest. The glove box offers significant storage space, too, and features damped opening operation that bolsters quietness and refinement.
 EXTERIOR
The exterior of the 2011 GMC Yukon should carry over unchanged for the new model year. All models should come with heated side mirrors, roof rails, halogen headlights, and a rear step bumper. Upgraded trims offer different features, such as different wheels, a unique grille, power liftgate, and a sunroof.
Interior Features

The interior of the 2011 GMC Yukon should carry over unchanged for the new model year, although minor alterations to what features go with which trim levels could be made. Basic models should come with two-zone temperature control, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, OnStar, a three passenger bench seat with 40/20/40 split, and an audio system that has a CD player, mp3 compatibility, satellite radio, and a USB port. Upgraded trims should offer features like remote vehicle start, parking assist with a rearview camera, an upgraded Bose sound system, navigation, and heated and cooled front seats. Optional features that will be available on some models include blind spot warning and rear seat entertainment.

The 2011 Yukon has a well-designed interior that will make driver and passengers feel pampered and elegant inside this large SUV. In the front, the console is located centrally between bucket seats. The dashboard is outstanding with a highly-intuitive arrangement that beats out many higher-priced competitors. The top line Denali has a wood and leather covered steering wheel, and all models use leather to create an elegant feel. The powered driver’s seat is adjustable in six modes, and the driver has an excellent field of vision through the windshield. Indeed, the drive has a good 360 degree vision with large side mirrors. The front seats in most models allow the cushions to be adjusted electronically, but with manual reclining.


ENGINE
New for the latest generation is standard stability control and a six-speed automatic for the heavier-duty 3/4-ton models and standard side curtain air bags across the range.

The 4.8-liter V8 available on the shorty Yukon is nowhere to be found here, replaced by the 5.3-liter V8 as standard equipment on the 1/2-ton models, and a 6.0-liter V8 on the 3/4-ton models.

Power is rated at 320 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 335 lb-ft at 4,200 rpm for the 5.3-liter V8. This engine is partnered with a six-speed automatic transmission. The combo returns 15 mpg on the EPA's city cycle, and 21 mpg on the highway.

The first optional engine (standard on 3/4-ton models) is a 6.0-liter V8 with variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management that makes 352 hp at 5,500 rpm and 382 lb-ft at 4,300 rpm and is available as a standalone option on the SLT trims of the half-ton XL.

The final optional engine is a 6.2-liter V8 that cranks out 395 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque. This engine will return 12 city and 19 highway on two-wheel drive vehicles - and is not available in four-wheel drive configurations.

The half-ton XLs are able to tow a maximum of 7,200 lbs in 2WD guise, while the 3/4-ton variants can manage up to 8,600 pounds in either two- or four-wheel drive models.
SAFETY
car safety features should carry over unchanged for 2011. 2011 GMC Yukon safety features include OnStar, antilock brakes, side airbags in the front seat, and head curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. An blind spot warning system should be available as an option.
Suspension: suspension smooths out bumps in the pavement
Warranty: three-year/36,000 mile basic warranty; five-year/100,000 mile powertrain and roadside assistance warranties; six-year/100,000 mile corrosion warranty.

 GM today is less blatant about its badge engineering, with differences in appearance extending beyond just grilles and headlamps to the point that each vehicle wears wholly unique sheetmetal over similar underpinnings. Still, four derivatives is a quantity we feel surpasses the threshold of discretion for badge engineering, and the Saab 9-4X—a vehicle whose future is uncertain at best—would bring the TE total to five, although the Caddy and Saab will be built on a heavily revised version of the platform.

While the Terrain’s mechanicals will be pilfered from GM’s other trucklets, from what is visible beneath the minimal camouflage in our spy shots, it appears that the styling is cribbed both from its Lambda big brother, the Acadia, and the Sierra pickup. The Sierra lends its large-mouth grille and squared-off headlights to the Terrain, while the Acadia donates its high roofline, reverse-canted C-pillar, and the slope of its backlight. Together, those elements should make the Terrain instantly recognizable as a GMC, which is more than can be said of the TrailBlazer family’s grille and badge differentiations.
 INTERIOR
 The interior of the 2011 GMC Terrain will vary depending on which trim level you purchase. At the most basic level, the Terrain will include features like air conditioning, cruise control, a trip computer, power accessories, powered front seats, OnStar, and a CD player with satellite radio and an auxiliary audio input. Bluetooth, an upgraded sound system, automated temperature controls, driver seat memory, hard drive-based music storage and navigation, and rear seat entertainment should be available on higher level trims and as options. The Terrain scored highly in terms of front and rear seat comfort, and in quietness. The vehicle also rated better than average for its class in cargo room.

Interior features for the 2011 GMC Terrain can vary as four trim levels are available. The standard model includes front bucket seats, driver information center, remote keyless entry, rearview camera integrated with rearview mirror, air conditioning, and rear window defogger. Stability control is provided along with front and side airbags, and side curtain airbags. Steering for the I-4 is electronic power and hydraulic power for the V6

The entertainment system includes satellite radio and CD player, with Graphic Interface Display and Radio Data System. Volume is compensated for speed and the audio system uses six speakers. Standard XM Radio features more than 179 channels with commercial free music, news, sports, kids, and other entertainment content. XM Radio requires a subscription after the first 90 days.

The 2011 GMC Terrain is able to seat five people. The cabin has comfortable seats with enough head and leg room for its occupants. There is plenty of cargo room, as well as several cubbyholes and bins to store small items.

 EXTERIOR
The Terrain is offered with front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive in SLE and SLT trim levels. A list of standard and available features includes: standard rear vision camera, programmable power rear liftgate.


The Terrain rides on a 112.5-inch (2,857 mm) wheelbase and features a four-wheel independent suspension system, with wide front and rear tracks that promise to offer comfort and solid handling. A family of 17-inch, 18-inch aluminum and 19-inch chrome-clad wheels is available.
ENGINE
with the most likely choices coming from the Equinox: a direct-injected (DI) 2.4-liter four-cylinder good for 182 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque, and a DI 3.0-liter V-6 rated at 255 hp and 214 lb-ft. Power will travel through a six-speed automatic transmission to either the front or all four wheels.

Two engines are available for customers to consider. A new, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with direct injection delivers highway fuel economy of 32 mpg, and a city rating of 22. Peak fuel economy is achieved in part with an "ECO" mode that is activated via a console-mounted button. When engaged, it lowers the torque converter lockup speed to 1,125 rpm to help save fuel on models equipped with the motor.

Also available is a 3.0-liter DOHC direct injected V-6 engine delivering an estimated 264 horsepower. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Terrain's rack-mounted electric power steering system provides greater fuel efficiency on four-cylinder-equipped models, saving nearly 11 miles per tank of gas.
