2019 GMC Yukon XL Denali

The Yukon XL is GMC's biggest SUV, the long-wheelbase version of the Yukon that seats up to nine and swallows gear behind the third row. It drives like a big truck, with a commanding view and a ride that's more about comfort than sport, which suits its role as a family hauler. The cabin is roomy and quiet, with a huge cargo area behind the third row that makes it a practical choice for large families or road trips. Yukon XLs have a solid reputation for durability, though they're known for thirstier fuel use and some electrical gremlins as they age. The Denali is the luxury pick for buyers who want the Yukon XL's space but with a plusher cabin and more standard features than the SLT. Its 6.2L V8 makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, paired with a ten-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, and it returns 16 mpg combined. Magnetic Ride Control is standard on the Denali, smoothing out bumps and keeping body roll in check when you're towing or hauling a full load.
