The 2024 GMC Yukon is an appealing pick for a large SUV. With a comfortable ride and roomy interior, you no longer have to make as many concessions if you need a big truck-based SUV for towing. It's also relatively easy to drive, especially when equipped with its suite of useful tech features. But the loaded-up trim levels, such as the Denali, are seriously expensive. Similarly priced big SUVs from Mercedes and BMW are more refined and fuel-efficient.Read full review

2024 GMC Yukon Review
Pros
- Comfortable ride and quiet interior
- Climate control system is impressive
- Optional 6.2-liter V8 makes robust power
- Generous cargo capacity
Cons
- Hard to maneuver in parking lots and city streets
- Driver's seat lacks adjustability
- Ponderous handling

- Part of the fifth Yukon generation introduced for 2021
Overview

One of several full-size SUVs made by General Motors, the 2024 GMC Yukon shares its underlying engineering and component set with the Chevrolet Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade. All boast robust V8 power, three rows of seating, and ample towing capacity. Chiseled good looks, polished brightwork and a nicer interior elevate the ruggedly handsome Yukon above its bow-tied brethren, but the GMC isn't as glamorous or feature-packed as the Escalade.

GMC hasn't made any changes to the 2024 Yukon, though there are some updates coming for the 2025 model. The 2024 Yukon's primary rival is the Jeep Wagoneer. Like the GMC, the Jeep is a premium model attempting to fill the same niche in the large SUV segment. Other alternatives to the Yukon include the Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada and lower-priced versions of luxury-brand SUVs such as the Lexus LX and Mercedes-Benz GLS. Check out the Expert Rating below for our test team's full evaluation on the Yukon.

Average
7.6
out of 10
We drove the 2024 GMC Yukon on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the Yukon drive? The Yukon Denali, which is what we tested, is the only model in the lineup that comes standard with a 6.2-liter V8. The engine produces gobs of power, and the Denali's 6.6-second sprint to 60 mph is among the segment's quickest. The 10-speed automatic transmission, though smooth and pleasant enough in everyday driving, takes a few beats to shift into a lower gear when you put your foot down. We also noticed that the transmission treats pushes of manual gear selector buttons more like suggestions than commands.
The Yukon's substantial weight and top-heavy design sabotage any chance of praiseworthy handling. It's something you have to accept with a vehicle this large. On the upside, the brakes make it easy to stop smoothly, and the light steering effort is perfect for navigating a crowded Costco lot. The Denali isn't as capable off-road as the AT4 trim, but its air suspension and two-speed transfer case will get you out of some tough spots.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Yukon? The Yukon has a pretty smooth ride quality. Our test Yukon, which had the adaptive dampers and air suspension, rode only slightly busier than a car-based SUV. Another highlight is the quiet cabin. The Yukon is essentially a giant brick cutting through the air, yet wind noise is barely noticeable. The climate system is noteworthy, funneling large amounts of air to all three rows.
Seat comfort is less impressive. The bolsters up front are flat, and the seats lack the extensive adjustments found in competing SUVs. Some of our drivers started to get uncomfortable after just a few hours of driving. The second-row seats are flat as well, and none of the seats in the third row feel remotely sculpted to the human body.

Interior
7.5/10

The controls up front are a mix of virtual buttons and chunky physical knobs and switches. Some are easy to discern without taking your eyes off the road, while others are grouped and located in odd places. The driver's seat offers plenty of sliding and height-adjustment range, but a lack of additional seat adjustments makes it hard to find an ideal driving position.

Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? The Yukon offers a useful array of tech features and driving aids. The infotainment interface is graphically unimpressive compared to luxury rivals, but it gets the job done and responds quickly to inputs. The Bose audio system is impressive, with a wallop of bass that doesn't overpower instruments or vocals. You can connect to it through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, both of which support wireless connections. Our Denali had seven seats, and between the USB ports and a wireless charging pad, there were enough power points for every occupant to charge simultaneously.
Disappointingly, GMC makes most of the Yukon driving aids optional; you'll have to pay extra to get adaptive cruise control, for instance. At least the systems all work pretty well.

Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? Space behind the third row measures 25.5 cubic feet — roughly 50% more than the previous model. Fold all of the rear seats and you get a whopping 122.9 cubes of storage, which is more than what you get from the Ford Expedition. There are also many areas throughout the cabin offers for storing your small personal items, including a deep bin below the center stack and two-tier storage on every door. The optional sliding center console is useful for hiding small items, but it reduces underarm storage by splitting the cubby into two compartments.
Planning to use your Yukon to shuttle around small children? The second-row car seat anchors are immediately visible and easy to access, and the Yukon's gargantuan cabin ensures you'll have no problem fitting a set of child seats.
As for towing, the Yukon can pull up to 8,000 pounds when equipped with 4WD and the 6.2-liter engine; the Yukon's max tow rating of 8,400 pounds comes with rear-wheel drive and the 5.3-liter engine. This is more than car-based luxury SUVs can handle, but a comparable Ford Expedition can pull an additional 900 pounds.

This is more than car-based luxury SUVs can handle, but a comparable Ford Expedition can pull an additional 900 pounds.
Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? The 4WD Yukon Denali, which we tested, gets an EPA-estimated 16 mpg combined (14 city/18 highway). The Ford Expedition Platinum is quicker in a straight line and is rated 2 mpg higher in all categories. The Yukon is a bit more efficient than the Nissan Armada. If you don't need the raw towing capacity, the turbocharged six-cylinders of the Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7 are rated at 20 mpg combined and 22 mpg combined, respectively.
Real-world results are closer than expected between the GMC and Ford rivals. The Yukon returned 18.4 mpg on our real-world test route. Meanwhile, the Expedition posted similar figures but is supposed to be more efficient based on its EPA estimates.

Value
7.5/10
Is the Yukon a good value? It's difficult to rate the Yukon Denali on value. On one hand, it's more expensive than a similarly equipped Ford Expedition or Nissan Armada and it's priced almost the same as a Mercedes GLS or BMW X7. Both of these luxury SUVs are more refined and upscale, but they can't tow as much. As it stands, the Yukon Denali is an interesting middle ground between mainstream and large luxury SUVs. And as such, its interior materials are pretty nice without being awesome.
GMC's bumper-to-bumper warranty of three years/36,000 miles and powertrain coverage and roadside assistance for five years/60,000 miles are typical for the class. GMC covers the first scheduled maintenance visit.

Wildcard
7.5/10
The Yukon is entertaining in a straight line — the Denali's 6.2-liter V8 is a muscular delight. But the reluctance of the transmission to shift when called upon saps some fun, as does the ultra-intrusive stability control system. That, plus the considerable amount of body roll, makes this less a joy to drive than one of its car-based luxury competitors.
This blocky SUV is charming in its own way, however. With its chrome-trimmed exterior, it looks like something Nick Fury would drive, so you feel pretty cool from behind the wheel. The boisterous V8 brims with personality, and features such as the power-retractable side steps and rear entertainment system are neat touches.

2024 GMC Yukon trim level differences
A full-size three-row SUV that can seat up to eight people, the 2024 GMC Yukon comes in five trim levels: SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali and Denali Ultimate. The Yukon offers a choice between two gasoline V8 engines and a turbocharged diesel six-cylinder engine, each paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Standard equipment highlights follow below.
Which Yukon trim does Edmunds recommend?
As with last year's Yukon, we recommend the SLT trim level. It comes with nicer wheels, leather seats and a hands-free liftgate and provides access to appealing options like a panoramic glass sunroof, a premium sound system and additional safety features.

I love most things about this vehicle. I am not happy about all of the noises and repair work that has been done so far in order to "attempt" to fix them. Muffler replaced, alternator and serpentine belts, top engine cleaner twice, gmc logo that lights up on the ground replaced and whatever else they discover trying to elliminate the noises. Sputter going up hill with hesitation. … Whopping on outside passenger front door at high speed, chirping on start up, rattle/chirp when accellerating and decellerating.

GMC Yukon vs. Chevrolet Tahoe
Under their skins, the GMC Yukon and the Chevrolet Tahoe are the same vehicle. However, the GMC has traditionally received exclusive design and feature content to help elevate the model into premium territory. Options and features are similar for both vehicles, though the Tahoe slightly undercuts the Yukon in price.
GMC Yukon vs. Ford Expedition
There is plenty to like about a Ford Expedition, especially its strong turbocharged V6 engine, superior tow ratings, and roomy, comfortable interior. It even offers BlueCruise, a hands-free highway driving assist system that rivals the Yukon's Super Cruise. But the Ford doesn't demonstrate the same sense of style as the Yukon, and in many ways it comes across as a cheaper and less refined vehicle. Still, if its value you seek, the Expedition can help you find it.
GMC Yukon vs. Jeep Wagoneer
Jeep takes sharp aim at the GMC Yukon with the recently revived Wagoneer model. Trading on nostalgia, the Wagoneer recalls the fondly remembered SUV of the same name from the 1960s but is a thoroughly modern, truck-based full-size SUV offering stout towing capacity, a huge interior, and a powerful and efficient turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine option.
