2023 GMC Yukon SLT

The 2023 Yukon is GMC's full-size SUV, slotting above the Acadia and offering seating for up to eight in a body that spans nearly 17 feet. It goes up against the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition, and Jeep Wagoneer, with the Denali trims aiming at the upscale end of that group. The Yukon drives with the commanding view and easy gait you expect from a big body-on-frame SUV, and the independent rear suspension keeps the ride composed on broken pavement. Inside, the cabin is genuinely roomy in all three rows, and the cargo bay behind the third row is large enough for a full set of golf clubs. A 10.2-inch touchscreen runs the latest GMC infotainment, and the available 16.8-inch display in Denali trims adds crisp graphics and a clean layout. The SLT adds leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, and a larger touchscreen over the SLE, while skipping the AT4's off-road hardware and the Denali's luxury focus. Paired with the ten-speed automatic, the 3.0L I6 gives this Yukon a smooth, torquey feel for towing or highway cruising, and four-wheel drive adds confidence in snow or on muddy job sites. The SLT's standard independent rear suspension helps the big SUV feel planted over rough pavement, a genuine improvement over the old solid-axle Yukon.
