2022 GMC Yukon XL Denali

The 2022 GMC Yukon XL is the extended-length version of GMC's full-size SUV, offering three rows of seating and class-leading cargo space for large families. It competes with the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition Max, and Cadillac Escalade ESV, though the Yukon XL distinguishes itself with a more rugged AT4 off-road trim. The Yukon XL drives with a commanding presence, and the available Magnetic Ride Control keeps body motion in check for a vehicle this size. Inside, the cabin offers upscale materials, available massaging front seats, and a power-folding third row that maximizes the already generous cargo area. Standard tech includes a 10.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a suite of driver-assistance features across all trims. The Denali is the luxury flagship of the Yukon XL line, so you give up the AT4's off-road hardware for a far plusher cabin and a standard 6.2L V8. That 6.2L V8 makes 420 horsepower and pairs with a ten-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which moves this big SUV with real authority and returns 16 mpg combined. Fourth-generation Magnetic Ride Control is standard here, so the Denali smooths out pavement better than any other Yukon trim.
