The GMC Yukon is one full-size SUV that embodies everything from a roomy interior to solid towing capacity, various impressive engines, and a comfortable ride. Opt for the extended wheelbase XL model, and you’ll be greeted with a more capacious cabin and heightened cargo space.
For 2023, GMC has introduced a new range-topping Denali Ultimate trim that features enhanced luxury appointments and convenience amenities that rival traditional luxury SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, and Infinity QX80. This article will help you make apt choices when leasing the latest GMC Yukon.
Engine And Transmission
Like other high-end vehicles in GMC’s lineup, the 2023 Yukon can be had with one of three potent engines. The standard engine is a 5.3-liter naturally-aspirated V8 that puts out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. A 6.2-liter V8 making 410 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque is standard on Denali trims but optional on the AT4 trim. Shoppers seeking heightened fuel efficiency can opt for the available 3.0-liter straight-six turbo-diesel engine that churns out 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. All engines are linked to a 10-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive. Equipped with the top-spec V8 engine, the Yukon needed an impressive 6.0 seconds to run from zero to 60mph. A properly decked-out Yukon would tow a maximum of 8400 lbs.
Fuel Economy
EPA estimates show that the Yukon’s thriftiest setup consists of the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel and rear-wheel drive. It is rated at 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. On the other hand, the thirstiest Yukon features the 6.2-liter V8, which recorded a mediocre EPA rating of 14 mpg city and 18 mpg highway.
Interior
Looking at the base trim, it feels like the Yukon spots a spartan interior, but wait till you see the range-topping Denali trims. The Yukon Denali boasts a distinctive interior design with hand-stitched leather upholstery and a wood-trimmed dashboard. An 18-speaker Bose sound system is standard on the top-spec Denali ultimate trim.
Generally, the GMC Yukon is very spacious and practical. Shoppers looking to deck out their ride can choose from a long list of attractive optional features available on all trims.
Safety And Driver Assistance
GMC’s largest SUV is full of cutting-edge safety and driver assistance features. Here are a few of them;
- Lane change alert with side blind zone alert
- Lane keep assist with lane departure warning
- Enhanced automatic emergency braking
- Enhanced automatic parking assist
- Forward collision alert, etc.
