The model was last updated in 2018 and received a comprehensive facelift in 2021, but it failed to captivate in the same way the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade have. It was good, not great.
The update starts with improved exterior styling borrowing heavily from its truck and SUV siblings. The entire front is squared off, giving the vehicle a commanding presence and making it look more attractive. Gone is the trapezoidal grille, and in its place is a square honeycomb grille, mixing Blazer and Tahoe styling, with split headlight clusters.
In profile, its silhouette looks like a smaller version of the Tahoe. The sideways Y-shaped taillights help to round out the rear, as do the quad, chrome-tipped exhausts that have become a calling card for powerful GM SUVs.
The company says each trim will benefit from unique styling and personality, and the vehicle will now offer things like a new dual-panoramic sunroof, available auto liftgate, walk-up animation, and all-new exterior colors of Lakeshore Blue, Stardust, and Harvest Bronze.
