The Biggest, The Largest, The 2026 GMC Yukon

Full-size SUVs are known to intimidate roadways with their size and stature, and yet, laying eyes on the new GMC Yukon feels like we just met the popular kid on the playground.

A close relative of the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon for 2026 is the upscale cousin of these formidable SUVs, offering luxury materials and amenities that leave us wanting more.

So, what do we know about the Yukon and the long-wheelbase 2026 GMC Yukon XL? Keep reading to find out!

Engine, Performance, & Fuel Efficiency

The new Yukon offers three engine choices: the 5.3-liter V8, the 6.2-liter V8, and the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel.

The standard is set with the 5.3-liter V8, delivering a steady 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft of torque. Higher trims, such as the 2026 GMC Yukon Denali and Denali Ultimate, take power up a notch with the 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8, producing an impressive 460 lb.-ft of torque.

For a ride of this caliber and size, the diesel engine proves to be a worthy competitor. Delivering 305-horsepower and 495 lb.-ft of torque, the diesel engine can match the Yukon’s size with every mile.

• Rear-wheel and four-wheel drive

2026 GMC Yukon Interior: Row by Row Breakdown

Seating for up to eight people, space for additional cargo, and comfort? While this may appear like an incredible feat for even the best SUVs, the Yukon makes it seem almost effortless.

First row: Luxury materials aren’t just an “added bonus” when it comes to the Yukon, but a given. The Denali is outfitted with open-pore wood trim with laser-etched topographical patterns and chrome accents. If that didn’t scream luxury, the 16-way power-adjustable front seats with heated, ventilated, AND massaging cushions just might.

The 16.8-inch diagonal premium GMC infotainment touchscreen commands the first row, featuring Google built-in and voice-activated technology. You’ll enjoy hands-free capability thanks to Super Cruise driver assistance technology, and you can still access key information directly on the road via the head-up display.

Second Row: The second row seating configurations are a passenger’s dream. Available captain’s chairs come with massage functionality and 14-way power seat adjusters. Music lovers will enjoy the stainless-steel Bose head-restraint speakers, which are among the 22 speakers throughout the cabin.

Third Row: When it comes to the third row, we have two words for you: ample legroom.

Cargo Space: The longer wheelbase GMC Yukon XL 2026 stands out when it comes to cargo space. Offering 145 cubic feet with all of the seats down, compared to the Yukon, which offers a still impressive 133 cubic feet of storage space. In the new Yukon, you’ll never have to worry about cargo space again.
