It's no secret that the same parent company manufactures GMC and Chevrolet vehicles. Both brands offer lots of exclusive technologies from General Motors. When it comes to performance, GMC and Chevy models essentially run on identical mechanical platforms. For example, the EcoTec gasoline engines and Duramax diesel engines have been widely available for both brands. GMC vehicles distinguish themselves through a luxurious design that isn't readily available for select Chevy cars. Let's explore some of the reasons for the price differences between such popular nameplates.
GMC Models Offer Exclusive Luxury
For generations, the signature Denali badge has been available for GMC models. This label reflects the luxurious design of high-level trims. From leather upholstery and wooden trimming to powerful LED headlights and 22-inch wheels, the Denali models boast a host of high-end features. Therefore, you should expect to pay a premium price for the upscale Denali editions on the GMC lineup. When it comes to digital technology, GMC vehicles indeed offer great value for families. The latest GMC Infotainment System is available with a touch screen that measures more than 10 inches diagonally. You could remotely manage the multimedia system through the myGMC mobile application, which is available for download on Google Play or the Apple Store.
The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus System is also available with a larger than 10 inches with a touch screen. The myChevrolet mobile app provides convenient connections with the infotainment system of a Chevy car. However, the myGMC app comes with slightly better features, such as the GMC Smart Driver and Marketplace. If you subscribe to the Remote Access Plan, you could utilize the Remote Key Fob, Vehicle Locate, and other remote services. Not all Chevy models, especially low-level trims, offer such advanced connectivity features.
Despite their similar mechanical platforms, GMC and Chevy vehicles still have some noticeable differences. For example, the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension System lifts a GMC's chassis by up to 2 inches. With boosts from the Traction Select System and Active Response 4WD System, the latest GMC models conquer off-road trails with ease. From the Max Trailering Package to the ProGrade Trailer System, GMC models offer advanced hardware for towing light-duty and heavy-duty loads.
