Meet the 2023 GMC Yukon
Engine Performance
This edition has five unique trims levels available, with three different engines offered among them. A 5.3-liter V8 engine with 355 horsepower comes standard with the AT4, SLT, and SLE trims. The standard engine for the Denali and Denali Ultimate trims is a powerful 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8.
For enhanced fuel efficiency, there’s also an available 277-horsepower 3.0-liter turbo-diesel engine, which gets an estimated 756-mile range in the Yukon XL model. All three engines are paired to a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission.
Off-Road and Towing
This SUV also offers a wide array of trail-tackling features for off-road journeys, including the Traction Select System: a multi-mode terrain management system that lets you toggle between Sport, Off-Road, and Tow/Haul modes.
As for towing, you can haul up to 8,400 pounds when opting for the Max Trailering Package, so recreational outings with a heavy trailer or camper in tow are no problem.
Interior and Technology
Road trips in the Yukon are guaranteed to be comfortable, thanks to its spacious seven- and eight-passenger designs and multiple leather-seating options. Genuine wood panels on the doors lend a stylish appearance to the interior, while the acoustic-laminated windshield and windows up front help suppress outside road noise.
For music, navigation assistance, and smartphone connectivity, there’s the GMC Infotainment System, while the 15-inch diagonal Head-Up Display projects important information on your windshield, so you won’t have to take your eyes off the road to check your speed or receive vehicle alerts.
Advanced Safety Features
The Yukon’s safety features use cutting-edge technology to monitor for hazards on the road while taking action when necessary. Forward Collision Alert can warn you if you’re approaching another vehicle too quickly, while Front Pedestrian Braking can bring your vehicle to a full stop if a person or animal darts out in front of you.
The IntelliBeam Auto High Beams can automatically activate in darker driving conditions while returning back to your regular beams when the headlights from oncoming vehicles are detected. Lane Change Alert, Lane Keep Assist, and Lane Departure Warning can all work together to help you avoid unintentional lane changes while nudging your vehicle back to the center of its lane.
With impressive performance, off-road versatility, and a tech-loaded cabin that’s as comfortable as it is stylish, the 2023 Yukon offers something for everyone. For a closer look, contact us today at Stone Chevrolet Buick GMC to schedule a test drive.
