I have maintained my Yukon since purchasing it in 2008. I now have a little over 200,000 miles on it. The battery pack was replaced about 125,000 miles. The transmission has been outstanding. The key is not to fool around with puting additives in the transission. It should be sealed. The engine has been soild. I use Mobil 1 long distance motor oil and still change it when i hit 20% oil usage left. Fuel mileage has ranged from 20 mpg to 28 mpg on the open road. I ran an experiment between Albuquerque to Santa Fe and back. At 80mpg i got 20.8 mpg. I ran the course again holding my mph to 65. I got 24.5. To San Antonio round trip i will average around 23.5 mpg. It varies based on driving conditions, habit and how much ups and down hills. I plan on hanging on to my Yukon. It has been so goid to me may family and dogs. Lol. Great vehicle.

Love this truck for it can idling when parked and no carbon foot print. The truck was receiving poor gas mileage, but after the transmission recall it is getting what is estimated. I love the fact it gets around 20 miles per gallon and I have a lead foot. Wondering if GM will credit me the fuel cost from their error?

I have had my Yukon Hybrid for a year and a half and in that time I have discovered a whole new level of sophistication. Previously I have had Range Rovers which are very nice but just don't offer the same level of performance. I have had one recall for a minor issue but other than that in 19,000 miles it has never missed a beat. Fuel mileage seems to average around 20 mpg mostly city driving, but the carbon foot print of this vehicle is far lower than my last few which is the reason I bought it. At stop lights with the engine off the other hybrids are usually running...enough said. You do have to learn to change your driving style to get the most out of this vehicle.

220,000 miles

the car has been a great ride and my wife has kept it in great shape so i am now considering putting in a new motor at 220,000 miles and letting my daughter drive it for college vs buying a new used car with unknown problems. the top of the dash area has some cracking under the windshield yeas of sun and the guys at the car wash have added that problem and the hood is getting some discoloration. We don,t use the 4x4 very often but it has never let us down. if you can find a used one in good shape and meets your budget and lower miles I don't think you will be disappointed. we found it gets better gas millage at higher speeds. in Utah & Arizona where we you have a 75 posted speed limit we average 28 mpg. Our daily mixed city and highway with going up and down a large hill at least twice a day we average 18 mpg

Do your research before buying a Yukon Hybrid

This vehicle will come to abrupt stop during acceleration, without warning. If the person behind you is not paying attention you WILL be rear ended. During my research I have found many others with the exact same complaint, Yet GMC does nothing about it. Most dealerships do not even know where to start when trying to diagnose Hybrid issues. So, expect to hear BS about your batteries , and they will try and sell you on a $5,000 repair. I am on my 3rd engine, the first 2 were covered under warranty ( by luck ). Do your own research about the stalling problem before considering any GMC full size SUV hybrid
