GM has really been looking for additional candidates in their line-up for the 2-Mode Hybrid system and thanks to a design by their Australian cousins at Holden they have yet potentially one more. The GMC Denali XT Concept not only sports some aggression and some retro yet future thinking design elements, but it also sports a new engine package with great appeal.

In the Denali XT Concept GMC has paired up GM’s 2-Mode Hybrid system with a 4.9 Liter small-block V8 with both direct injection and cylinder deactivation (or Active Fuel Management as GM refers to it). Also for the first time for GM the 4.9 Liter V8 in the Denali XT can be fueled by any mixture of gasoline-ethanol all the way up to E85. All together the combination of these technologies would make the Denali XT Concept one of the most Environmentally friendly Sport Utility Trucks to come to market thus far.

The Denali XT Concept comes with an adjustable air suspension incorporated in its four-wheel independent suspension to allow the SUT to perform well on the road. Yet its light weight uni-body construction and cargo area that measures 55″ by 47.5″ that can carry 1100 lbs of cargo still provides this sleek design enough truck capabilities to satisfy the average driver. To add to its versatility the Denali XT has a towing capacity of 3500 lbs and rear seats that fold down to allow for longer payloads.
