Expansive Comfort Meets Capability in the 2025 GMC Yukon XL

Reliable Engine Performance

Three reliably powerful engines are offered for this SUV, with the first, a 5.3-liter V8, generating 355 horsepower alongside 383 pound-feet of torque. The second engine is a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 with 460 pound-feet of torque, taking output to the next level if needed. Then, there’s the most fuel-efficient engine in the lineup, a 305-horsepower 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel I-6 that delivers 494 pound-feet of torque and gets up to 27 MPG on highways.

Strong Off-Roading Versatility

Also versatile, this edition offers the available Active Response 4WD System, which automatically adapts to challenging terrain and comes paired with an enhanced cooling radiator. Select trims also offer the Adaptive Air Ride Suspension System, which lets you lower the vehicle while on highways to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency or raise it while off-roading to increase ground clearance. Some trims also have an advanced 4×4 system that allows you to alternate between low and high gears.

Cabin Comforts for Everyone

Few SUVs seat up to eight passengers like the Yukon XL, and it does so with extra rear legroom over the regular Yukon models and two split-folding rear seats. Power windows, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, and heated front seats with both power-adjustability and lumbar support are all standard, while select trims also allow you to opt for ventilated seats up front. Tri-zone climate control is also included with every model, as is rear air conditioning.

Sophisticated Tech Features

With an 11-inch diagonal full-color instrument display behind the wheel, two 120-volt powerpoints, and a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot that can be utilized with an internet data plan, this SUV has plenty of convenient technology to show off. However, the standard infotainment system steals the show with its 16.8-inch diagonal display and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Music played on this stream can be wirelessly streamed from smartphones and sounds great on the premium Bose CenterPoint Surround Sound system.

Advanced Driver Assistance

Designed for large families, this SUV has plenty of standard driver-assist features to keep all three rows of passengers safe, including Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert with Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, and Blind Zone Steering Assist. With 360-degree views around the vehicle, the HD Surround Vision camera system is sure to be appreciated, and the optional inclination and a glass breakage sensor features can alert you if the vehicle’s being stolen or broken into.
