Power and Capability
Whether you prioritize strength or efficiency, this new GMC SUV offers multiple engine options. The standard 5.3-liter V8 delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, while an available 6.2-liter V8 boosts output to 420 horsepower. For diesel torque and long-range confidence, the 3.0-liter Duramax® turbo-diesel provides 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque.
A 10-speed automatic transmission comes standard, and available four-wheel drive ensures confident handling on rural roads and slick surfaces.
Spacious Interior with Premium Versatility
The 2026 GMC Yukon XL offers best-in-class interior space, with seating for up to eight passengers and an extended wheelbase that translates to generous legroom in all three rows. Behind the third row, you’ll find an impressive 41.5 cubic feet of cargo space — nearly double that of the standard GMC Yukon. Fold the second and third rows flat to unlock a class-leading 144.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity.
Tri-zone automatic climate control, available heated and ventilated front seats, and soft-touch surfaces make every drive feel tailored, even with a full cabin.
