2023 GMC Yukon XL Review

When you shop for your own Yukon XL, you’ll find three powerful engine options. Whether you’re sticking with the standard 5.3L V8 engine or looking toward the available diesel engine, you’re sure to be amazed by the power that’s offered. In fact, let’s take a closer look at the details:

The 10-speed automatic transmission will ensure a smooth ride regardless of which engine you choose. It will also come in handy when towing heavy loads. Speaking of that, you’ll find a towing capacity of up to 8,300 pounds when properly configured.

As a large SUV, the GMC Yukon XL has a lot of room for both cargo and passengers. In fact, the seating capacity of nine lets you travel with your entire crew. Whether you’re going on a camping trip, taking the kids and their friends to soccer practice, or stopping by the farmers market, you’ll have plenty of room.

This is how the interior dimensions are distributed:

When you don’t have all the seats filled with companions, you can also fold down the rear rows. Both the second- and third-row benches come with 60/40 split-folding abilities, allowing you to easily configure your SUV for any situation. Let’s look at how the cargo space can be maximized:

• Cargo Volume Behind Third Row: 41.5 cubic feet
• Cargo Volume Behind Second Row: 93.8 cubic feet
• Cargo Volume Behind First Row: 144.7 cubic feet

With more than 100 cubic feet of cargo room available, this SUV is the perfect choice for all types of adventures.

In addition to a spacious cabin, you’ll also have lots of technology for the ride. Kicking off with the standard 10.2-inch GMC Premium Infotainment System, your GMC will make it easy to access your apps, music, and more. With such a large screen, you can keep an eye on everything.

The standard 12-inch color Driver Information Center can be personalized to your liking. It will show vehicle information and warning messages. While a 6-speaker audio system is standard, we think you’ll love the available Bose® 14-speaker Surround with CenterPoint® audio system.

Other standard and available features include:

You can ditch those cords in the Yukon XL, too. Drop your phone on the available wireless charging pad, and you’ll be able to keep it powered up throughout the drive.
