Three engines are offered for this edition of the Yukon XL: a turbodiesel I6 and two gas-powered V8s. The diesel engine delivers 305 horsepower and provides excellent fuel efficiency, making it ideal for both daily drives and long-distance adventures. For tackling tougher challenges, both the 355-horsepower 5.3-liter and the 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 are ready and pair perfectly with the available Active Response 4WD system. Every model also has a mechanical limited-slip differential, which optimizes traction when wheel slippage is detected.
Spacious and Comfortable
Three rows of seating grace this edition’s cabin, providing room for up to eight passengers. The front and second-row seats both have standard heating, and select trims offer available ventilation for both as well. A heated steering wheel is also standard, and if you have bulky cargo, both rear seats can be split-folded to accommodate it. Seating materials among the different trim levels range from a unique CoreTec/perforated leather combo to luxurious full grain.
Designed for Adventures
Outside, power-retractable steps are available to easily access the cabin, as is LED perimeter lighting, and heated side mirrors, LED fog lamps, LED headlamps with animated lighting, and rain-adaptive wipers all come to standard. While lower trims have a power liftgate, most upper trims come with the hands-free Autosense liftgate instead, which opens automatically when it detects the key fob within a proximity to it.
Sophisticated Technology
Long drives are never boring with this SUV’s many advanced tech features, which include a standard 11-inch diagonal instrument cluster, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, and the GMC Premium Infotainment System. You can also opt for a 22-speaker Bose audio system, as well as a rear-seat entertainment system that has dual 12.6-inch HD displays. Also, with an internet data plan, you can simultaneously connect to the internet with up to 10 devices with the included 5G Wi-Fi modem.
Smart Driver Assistance
You’re also well-covered with all the advanced safety and driver-assist features offered for this edition, including Forward Collision Alert, which comes standard with Front Pedestrian Braking and Bicycle Braking. On highways, the standard Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Trailer Sway Control, and Blind Zone Steering Assist can help you avoid side collisions, while the 360-degree HD Surround Vision camera system and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking, also standard, can both make reversing out of parking spaces safer.
