2023 – 2024 GMC YUKON
The GMC division is most known for its work trucks and commercial vehicles, but the 2023 Yukon is one of the most opulent and roomy cars in the company’s history. Three rows of roomy seats are available in this large family SUV, and it is also available with a longer wheelbase, known as the Yukon XL, which creates even more load space. The majority of vehicles are powered by a V-8, often a 5.3- or 6.2-liter type, although a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel inline-six is also offered; this is a first for this market. With all of the available engines, acceleration and towing capability are both impressive, but fuel efficiency isn’t great for the V-8s. The entry-level SLE trim is far from basic, offering a wide range of technology and convenience options as standard, but the luxury Denali trim luxuriates things up to rival premium competitors like the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. The Tahoe and Suburban SUVs from sister company Chevrolet, which are both mechanically identical and provide comparable accessories for a somewhat lower price, are the Yukon’s strongest rivals.
What has changed for 2023?
For 2023, the Yukon will offer a new top-of-the-line Denali Ultimate trim that includes more luxurious Alpine Umber leather upholstery, 16-way power front seats with massage, open-pore wood trim, and an 18-speaker Bose radio system, among other perks. The Denali Ultimate rides on distinctive 22-inch wheels and has darker chrome detailing on its grille and other external components. It is optional to use GM’s Super Cruise hands-free highway driving mode.
