2022 GMC Yukon XL SLE

The 2022 GMC Yukon XL is the extended-length version of GMC's full-size SUV, offering three rows of seating and class-leading cargo space for large families. It competes with the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition Max, and Cadillac Escalade ESV, though the Yukon XL distinguishes itself with a more rugged AT4 off-road trim. The Yukon XL drives with a commanding presence, and the available Magnetic Ride Control keeps body motion in check for a vehicle this size. Inside, the cabin offers upscale materials, available massaging front seats, and a power-folding third row that maximizes the already generous cargo area. Standard tech includes a 10.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a suite of driver-assistance features across all trims. The SLE is the entry-level Yukon XL, skipping the luxury bits of the SLT and Denali while keeping the same spacious body and strong V8 powertrain. Under the hood is a 5.3L V8 making 355 horsepower, paired with a ten-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive that returns 17 mpg combined. The SLE comes standard with cloth upholstery and an 8-inch touchscreen, a simpler setup than the upgraded screens and leather found in higher trims.
