The GMC Yukon is already one of the most spacious full-sized SUVs in its segment, but its XL form extends its length by about 15 inches to provide even more passenger and cargo space. Of course, it still features an attractive and plush cabin with many standard and optional amenities. Here’s a guide to the 2023 GMC Yukon XL!
A Closer Look at the 2023 GMC Yukon XL
Power and Performance
A mighty 5.3L V8 engine putting out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque is the standard powerplant. Buyers who regularly tow larger trailers and vehicles will want to opt for the larger 6.2L motor, which provides 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque—good for a maximum towing capacity of close to 8,000 pounds. A 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel engine improves fuel efficiency up to an EPA-rated 27 highway MPG.
No matter which version you choose, the power is transmitted through a 10-speed automatic transmission with a tow/haul mode and an electronically controlled overdrive. The available Active Response 4WD system features a 2-speed transfer case that can automatically switch from 2WD to 4WD when it detects a loss in traction. Its shift-on-the-fly feature lets you make seamless manual shifts between 2WD and 4WD while on the move.
Passenger Cabin
Thanks to the Yukon XL’s slightly larger size, it boasts 42 inches of legroom in the second row, 36.7 inches of legroom in the third row, and up to 144.7 cubic feet of cargo space when the 60/40-split rear seats are folded down. In addition to power-folding second- and third-row seating, the second row is available with a power-release that activates with just the press of a button for quicker, easier access to the third row.
From the premium cloth seats of the SLE to the Alpine Umber full-grain leather upholstery of the Denali Ultimate, the Yukon XL offers an array of choices to customize the interior. Available all-weather floor mats are especially resistant to the elements, plus they’re easily removable and washable. Tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front and rear outboard seats, and a heated steering keep the interior comfortable during all sorts of weather.
Multimedia and Connectivity
All Yukon XLs come equipped with a large 10.2-inch GMC Premium Infotainment System with a multitouch display, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Google Built-In for added convenience. When it comes to entertainment, there are loads of options, including a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, streaming TV shows and movies in high-definition, and a powerful 18-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system.
With the myGMC mobile app, you can use your smartphone to check on your vehicle’s status or use Family Sharing to enable your family to control the locks and start the vehicle with their own devices.
Great capability and a cavernous, luxurious interior combine to make the Yukon XL the SUV of choice for larger families. Check out the 2023 model by heading over to Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC today!
