Few vehicles can match the GMC Yukon XL for sheer size, interior space, and passenger and payload capacity. Drivers can’t help falling in love with the 2025 GMC Yukon XL‘s powerful engine options, impressive towing and cargo capability, and lineup of premium safety and infotainment technology.
Powerful Engine Options
The Yukon XL is a three-row, full-size SUV that requires tremendous power to perform. Fortunately, the Yukon XL offers two engine options that drive its impressive performance. The standard engine is a 5.3-liter V8 with dynamic fuel management, direct injection, and variable valve timing. It’s matched with a 10-speed electronically controlled transmission with overdrive. Together, they deliver 355 horsepower and 383 foot-pounds of torque.
There’s also a more powerful V8 engine available in the AT4 and Denali trims. The optional 6.2-liter V8 is also paired with a 10-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with overdrive and a traction selection system, and it generates 420 horsepower and 460 foot-pounds of torque. The Yukon XL is available with either a standard 2WD drivetrain or an optional 4WD drivetrain.
Impressive Passenger & Cargo Capability
The Yukon XL is one of the largest SUVs in its class, and it offers ample capacity for carrying passengers and cargo. The Yukon XL can seat up to eight adults comfortably across its front bucket seats and 60/40 split-bench second and third rows. For example, front seat occupants have 42.3 inches of headroom and 44.5 inches of legroom, while the second-row seating provides 38.9 inches of headroom and 42 inches of legroom.
The Yukon XL’s cargo capacity is equally impressive. The dedicated 41.5 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the third row is sufficient for carrying many payloads, but when more space is needed, the rear rows conveniently fold down. With the third row folded, the cargo volume grows to 93.6 cubic feet, but stowing both rear rows creates 144.5 cubic feet of volume for moving gear. The Yukon XL has a maximum payload capacity of 2,070 pounds.
Premium Safety & Infotainment Technology
The Yukon XL is loaded with premium technology that keeps its occupants safe and connected. It earned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s 5-star overall safety rating for its crash test performance and lineup of driver assistance and safety technology. Its features include the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, enhanced automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic braking, forward collision alert, and seven airbags.
The tech amenities in the Yukon XL keep drivers engaged and connected. They include a Bose CenterPoint Surround 10-speaker sound system, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, an 11-inch color driver information center, a 16.8-inch advanced color LCD display, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
