8 Things That Make the 2021 GMC Yukon a Fantastic Three-Row SUV
Impressive Cargo Capacity
If you’re in the market for a 3-row SUV, you will also need some extra cargo space. This is exactly what the next-generation GMC Yukon offers you. With the second and third rows folded down, you get 122.9 cubic feet. Behind the third-row seat is 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to 72.6 cubic feet with the third-row seats folded down. This is a substantial increase over the 2020 GMC Yukon.
More Power and Performance
The 5.3-liter V-8 makes 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque and pairs to a new 10-speed automatic. This is an upgrade from the six-speed transmission in the predecessor and breathes new life into your SUV. The new Yukon AT4 trim gives you the power and features for off-roading. The base model engine gives an impressive 16 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.
Compact Independent Rear Suspension
The all-new three-row GMC Yukon comes with a more compact independent rear suspension (IRS) setup. The switch from a solid rear axle to the IRS improves the SUV’s ride and handling. This more compact suspension also gives you a lower load floor. You’ll enjoy a smooth ride over bumps and around turns. Available is an air-ride suspension system for ride-height change and an off-road mode.
Roomier Interior
The new Yukon is 6.1 inches longer than its predecessor to provide more legroom for rear passengers. The new Yukon seats seven with optional second-row bucket seats or eight in its standard setup. With the increased head- and legroom for passengers, you have the ideal family SUV for long road trips.
Exquisite Infotainment Features
The fifth-gen GMC Yukon offers infotainment features galore. Standard infotainment features include an intuitive 10.2-inch touch screen, HD Radio, six speakers, satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, six USB ports, Bluetooth, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Available features include navigation and a rear-seat entertainment system.
More Towing Capacity
The new unibody-on-frame platform gives the new GMC Yukon towing capacity of up to 8,400 pounds when fully equipped. The available Max Trailering Package and ProGrade Trailering System™ maximize the SUV’s towing capacity.
Advanced Safety Features
This next-gen GMC Yukon comes loaded with advanced safety features. Standard features include a rear-view camera, rear seat reminder, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, and front and rear parking sensors. The LATCH connectors improve safety for your kids.
Exterior Stylish Upgrades
The next-generation GMC Yukon has a strong look of a powerful SUV. Exterior upgrades include a taller stance, higher hood, new, bold grille, signature C-shaped LED lighting, and sophisticated roofline. You’ll enjoy driving the head-turning 3-row SUV.
