2014 GMC Yukon

The GMC Yukon / Yukon XL family of full-size SUVs, including the premium Yukon Denali and Yukon XL Denali, offer room for up to nine passengers and the capability -- and space -- to haul their cargo.

All Yukon and Yukon Denali models are offered in 2WD and 4WD configurations (2WD and AWD with Denali). A third-row seat is standard on all Yukon models. Yukon models feature a 116-inch wheelbase and overall length of 202 inches, which enables up to 108.9 cubic feet of storage space (with the second-row seat folded and third-row seat removed).

Yukon XL models have exterior dimensions similar to the regular models, but are about 14 inches longer in wheelbase and 20 inches longer in overall length, offering 137.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. In fact, Yukon XL / Yukon XL Denali offer the segment's best cargo capacity behind the first-, second- and third-row seats.

Yukon and Yukon XL models feature a 5.3L V-8 with GM's fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology, while Denali models feature a 6.2L V-8. Responsive steering, a wide track and low center of gravity contribute to a smooth, comfortable and secure driving experience. When it comes to towing capability, Yukon has a maximum rating of 8,500 pounds and Yukon XL is rated at 8,100 pounds.

Yukon and Yukon XL feature the bold, chrome-trimmed grille that is a signature of the brand. Attention to detail is evident in the premium headlamp elements and precise gaps between body panels.

The third-row seats fold flat and are easily tumbled forward or removed for maximum cargo area. Also, the center console storage compartment, at 0.8-cubic-foot of capacity, is the segment's largest.
