GMC Yukon vs GMC Yukon XL

2022 GMC Yukon vs. Yukon XL - Learn The Differences Between The Two Models


What's the Difference Between the 2022 GMC Yukon and 2022 GMC Yukon XL?

If you're in the market for a three-row SUV that provides all the space you need to accommodate your growing family, you won't want to look any further than the new GMC Yukon. However, you may be wondering how the original GMC Yukon compares to its other configuration, the GMC Yukon XL. Take a closer look at what both of these voluminous SUVs have to offer before visiting Max Dye, Inc. in Salem today.

Design

While both SUVs offer a similar design, the Yukon XL comes equipped with a longer wheelbase, adding 15 inches to its overall length. As a result, you can enjoy additional passenger and cargo space within the cabin. Every passenger can expect to enjoy extra legroom, but the third row receives the biggest upgrade. Meanwhile, the Yukon XL expands your total cargo space to a whopping 145 cubic feet. Similar to the original GMC Yukon, loading and unloading your cargo is convenient with versatile folding second-and third-row seats and an available hands-free power liftgate.

No matter which model you choose, you can expect to enjoy exciting trim levels that offer a unique driving experience around Centralia, including the rugged AT4 or luxurious Denali trims.

Performance

Whether you're bringing home the GMC Yukon or Yukon XL, you'll have access to three powerful engine options. The standard 5.3-liter V8 engine impresses on the Mt. Vernon roads with its output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. You'll also find a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 on the menu. However, to enjoy enhanced efficiency and a towing capacity of 8,400 pounds, you'll want to opt for the 3.0-liter Duramax® turbo-diesel engine. While the original Yukon offers 648 miles of driving range on a full tank, the Yukon XL utilizes a larger fuel tank to upgrade that range to an estimated 756 miles.

Both models can be equipped with additional adventure-ready features, including four-wheel-drive capability, a two-speed AutoTrac® transfer case, and a Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension.

Interior Features

The 2022 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL both provide spacious seating for up to eight passengers. Drivers can choose a second-row bench seat or a set of luxurious captain's chairs, depending on their preference. The cabin is complete with high-quality materials and an eye-catching design, featuring hand-stitched leather upholstery and authentic wood accents. While you explore the lineup, you'll find exciting amenities that make every journey around Flora more relaxing, including tri-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, and a Power-Sliding Center Console.

Infotainment & Connectivity

No matter which model you bring home, you can expect to find a wide range of user-friendly technology at your fingertips. You'll enjoy access to a Google-based infotainment system on a responsive 10.2-inch display. This innovative interface can connect to your smartphone wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Meanwhile, the Yukon and Yukon XL offer other exciting features, like a 15-inch head-up display, a 14-speaker Bose audio system, and dual 12.6-inch rear-seat media touchscreens.


Safety Technology

Wherever your adventures around Carlyle take you, both the Yukon and Yukon XL can provide you with additional peace of mind. You'll have access to up to 13 available camera views, including High-Definition Surround Vision and a Rear Camera Mirror. Meanwhile, with GMC Pro Safety Plus you can keep better track of the roads around you and avoid potential collisions. Some of these helpful driver-assistance features include:

  • Following Distance Indicator
  • Front Pedestrian Braking
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Rear Park Assist
