With three powerful engines to choose from, a spacious cabin, and some of the most advanced technological features in the market, the 2021 GMC Yukon is one of the best-reviewed large SUVs. GMC’s latest Yukon shares the platform of the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban models but features an entirely different style. Some of the key improvements from previous models include a new independent rear suspension, a longer wheelbase, and an entirely redesigned interior.
1. Three Engine Configurations to Choose From
GMC’s 2021 Yukon can be fitted with one of three engine configurations designed for all needs and jobs. The default model comes with a 5.3 L V8 engine that provides 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft of torque, featuring a 10-speed automatic transmission, direct injection technology, as well as variable valve timing. This engine configuration yields an estimate of 15 miles per gallon in the city or 20 miles per gallon on the highway, calculated using two-wheel drive.
If you need even more horsepower or better fuel efficiency, you can choose between the 6.2 L V8 Engine and the 3.0 L Duramax Turbo-Diesel Engine. The former is only available in Denali models, featuring 420 horsepower, 460 lb.-ft of torque, a 10-speed automatic transmission, direct-injection technology, and providing 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway. The 3.0 L configuration provides 277 horsepower and a 648-mile range on a single tank.
