The Yukon, GMC’s legendary flagship SUV, helped launch the auto industry’s SUV revolution over 30 years ago. Now, the 2025 GMC Yukon XL represents the pinnacle of full-size SUV evolution, with best-in-class cargo volume, potent powertrain options, and elevated technology for an improved driving experience.
Three Performance-Driven Powertrains
The Yukon XL is a full-size SUV, and it has three full-power engine options available. The standard engine is a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 that produces 383 foot-pounds of torque. There’s an available 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 that delivers 460 foot-pounds of torque, as well as a 305-horsepower 3.0-liter Duramax turbo diesel that makes 495 foot-pounds of torque. All three are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a RWD or 4WD drivetrain.
Incredible Interior Volume
Whether carrying passengers or cargo, the Yukon XL has an extra-large cabin that’s up to the task. It can seat up to eight adults comfortably across its three rows of seating, with bucket front seats and 60/40 split-bench rear seating. The Yukon XL also has best-in-class cargo volume, with dedicated cargo space behind the third row offering 41.5 cubic feet of volume. Folding the two rear bench seats creates an incredible 144.5 cubic feet of cargo volume.
Impressive Payload and Towing Capability
The payload and towing capacities of the Yukon XL are as impressive as its interior volume. It has a maximum payload capacity of 2,070 pounds when properly equipped. It also has a maximum towing capacity of up to 8,400 pounds, depending on powertrain, drivetrain, and equipment selections. Towing is streamlined by the Yukon XL’s available trailering amenities, including an in-vehicle trailering app, hitch guidance, and an integrated trailer brake controller.
Integrated Infotainment and Connectivity Technology
The infotainment technology in the Yukon XL can keep its occupants connected on and off the beaten path. Its standard infotainment and connectivity amenities include wireless device charging, 5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Bluetooth streaming, a Bose CenterPoint Surround 10-speaker audio system, an 11-inch color driver information center, a 16.8-inch advanced color LCD display with Google built in, a 120-volt outlet, and multiple data and power ports.
Confidence-Inspiring Safety and Drive Assistance Features
The Yukon XL earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, partially because of its advanced standard safety and driver assistance features. They include seven airbags, automatic emergency braking, the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control, forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, rear cross traffic braking, and HD surround vision.
The GMC Yukon XL offers drivers the pinnacle of full-size three-row SUV capacity and power, with three robust engine options, a spacious cabin, and superior safety and infotainment amenities.
