2021 GMC Yukon XL Denali

The 2021 Yukon XL is GMC's largest SUV, a full-size three-row with extra cargo space behind the third row for families who need to haul people and gear. It squares off against the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition Max, and Jeep Wagoneer, offering similar size with a more premium feel. The Yukon XL drives with the confidence of a big SUV, and the independent rear suspension helps it feel more settled than the old solid-axle model. The Denali is the top Yukon XL, with the 6.2L V8 and a leather-lined cabin that feels more luxury than the AT4's off-road focus. Its 6.2L V8 makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, paired with a ten-speed automatic and four-wheel drive that handle the big SUV's 5,998 pounds with ease. The Denali's Magnetic Ride Control irons out pavement imperfections, so you get a smooth highway ride without the float of a traditional big SUV.
