2024 GMC Yukon XL Denali

The 2024 Yukon XL is GMC’s stretched full-size SUV, adding cargo space behind the third row for families who need to carry people and gear. Its main rivals are the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition Max, and Jeep Wagoneer L, all vying for the same three-row, long-wheelbase buyers. The Yukon XL drives with the confident, planted feel of a big SUV, and the independent rear suspension smooths out most road imperfections. Inside, the cabin offers generous space for up to eight, with a massive cargo area behind the third row that swallows luggage with ease. Standard tech includes a large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a full suite of driver-assistance features. The 6.2L V8 and standard leather interior set the Denali apart from the SLT and AT4 trims below it. Its 6.2L V8 makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, paired with a ten-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, so it pulls hard on the highway while returning 16 mpg combined. The Denali rides on standard Magnetic Ride Control, which reads the road and adjusts the dampers in real time for a smoother, more controlled feel.
