2026 GMC Yukon XL Denali

The 2026 Yukon XL is GMC's largest SUV, a three-row full-size that prioritizes passenger space and towing capability for big families. It goes head-to-head with the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition Max, and Jeep Wagoneer L in the extended-length SUV segment. The Yukon XL feels substantial on the road, with confident straight-line stability and a commanding view over traffic. The ride is generally composed for a vehicle this size, though the independent rear suspension helps smooth out rough pavement. Inside, the cabin offers generous space for eight, with a cavernous cargo area behind the third row and upscale materials on higher trims. Its 6.2L V8 makes 420 horsepower and pairs with the ten-speed automatic, which gives the big SUV effortless passing power and a relaxed highway gait. The Denali's standard Magnetic Ride Control reads the road continuously, so it soaks up expansion joints better than the AT4's off-road-focused tune.
