2023 GMC Yukon XL
With a long list of features, five trim levels, and a spacious cabin, the 2023 GMC Yukon XL certainly comes with considerable upgrades. When searching for the mix of luxury, performance, and economy, the Yukon provides the perfect combination.
Exterior
Running on a much wider wheelbase than its regular counterpart, GMC Yukon XL features an elegant style seeming both tough and luxurious.
Moreover, AT4 trim level features an off-road stance and a redesigned front fascia for a better approach angle, while Denali trim has a more premium appearance.
Interior & Cabin Features
GMC Yukon XL’s extended wheelbase provides interior room for up to eight people, which increases to nine on SLT trim. Also, Yukon XL has plenty of storage space, with 144.7 cubic feet of cargo space when all seats are folded.
Furthermore, Denali versions feature a distinctive interior design, including a wood-trimmed console and hand-stitched leather seating.
A 10.2″ infotainment display with built-in Google dominates Yukon XL’s dashboard, while a 12″ color info center is available near its steering wheel.
While entry-level trims will come with a six-speaker audio system, SLT trim has a 9-speaker Bose Premium audio system. This number can go even higher, as an optional 18-speaker Bose Performance Series sound system can cover GMC Yukon XL’s entire cabin.
Moreover, Satellite radio and wireless smartphone charging are standard for Yukon XL, as are WiFi hotspots and USB connections throughout its interior.
Safety Techs
GMC Yukon LX features automatic emergency braking, front collision alert with pedestrian braking, and parking sensors are among driver aids available. This SUV also uses a Buckle to Drive System, locking the SUV in Park if the driver’s seatbelt is unbolted.
Plus, drivers can get features such as side blind zone, hill descent control, and HD surround visions based on trim levels, all contributing to a high safety level. Also, all Yukon XL trims are equipped with seven airbags.
Engine & Performance
Three engine choices are available for GMC Yukon XL, all matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission:
A 5.3L V8 L84 gas engine comes with 355 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm and 355 hp at 5,600 rpm, while a 6.2L V8 L87 powertrain produces 420 hp at 5,600 rpm and 460 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm. Then, there’s Duramax 3.0L I6 LM2 turbo diesel as a third option, producing 277 hp at 3,750 rpm and 460 lb-ft of torque at 1,500 rpm.
Regardless of engine, all GMC Yukon XL models provide a terrific ride with respectable handling by full-size SUV standards. Independent suspension improves with air springs and adaptive dampers to elevate or lower the vehicle while canceling out massive 22″ wheels seen on higher-trim Denali trims, making GMC Yukon XL an excellent off-road drive.
Pricing
Undoubtedly, GMC Yukon XL is worth its $56,000 MSRP. Three engine choices, a massive cabin, and a host of safety and tech features make this full-size luxury SUV an accessible ride for every driver who wishes to cruise inside the cities and beautiful countryside of North Carolina.
