2021 GMC Yukon Overview

Introducing the 2021 GMC Yukon

For the GMC Yukon, 2021 has been the year of impressive upgrades. GMC has made stylish and functional improvements to all three of its trim levels of this full-size SUV. The 2021 GMC Yukon connects to personal smart devices with ease; buyers can opt to have Amazon Alexa built in along with the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. These abilities and safety features including Following Distance Indicator, Rear Park Assist, Forward Collision Alert, and Front Pedestrian Braking are connected to the eight-inch digital driver information center between the gauges.

Yukon SLE & SLT

The two basic options for the new Yukon offer seating for up to nine people (SLE model only), with room for adult passengers all the way to the third row. The premium GMC infotainment system has upgrade options including dual rear-seat media touch screens and HD surround vision that incorporate your Bluetooth and USB-connective devices. These trim levels also have the option of a 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot, advanced navigation technology, and downloadable in-vehicle apps. Safety features include class-leading nine camera views to help drivers navigate tight spaces. All audio, phone, and navigation functions are controlled from the steering wheel for safer driving with fewer distractions.

All these features are neatly packaged in a sturdy frame with a 5.3L V8 engine. The 10-speed transmission delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, all the power the 2021 Yukon needs to get to its destination efficiently and comfortably. With the available 3.0 liter Duramax turbo diesel engine (also available with Denali), the 2021 Yukon can go up to 648 miles on a single tank.

Yukon AT4

Built with multiple driving terrains in mind, the 2021 GMC Yukon AT4 uniquely offers a standard approach angle of nearly 32 degrees. Add the available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension feature, and the vehicle can be raised up an additional two inches to improve clearance. With over 25 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the third row alone and a towing capacity of up to 8,200 pounds (with the Max Trailering package), this full-size SUV is designed for long trips with up to eight passengers. Driving in any weather type is made easier with standard features to include LED head- and tail-lamps, LED fog lamps, rain-sensing wipers, 20-inch all-terrain tires, and outside heated, power-folding adjustable mirrors.

The AT4’s interior has trim level-unique features including jet black leather, heated and ventilated driver and front-passenger seats, brandy accents, and dark brushed aluminum details. The available panoramic sunroof features dual panes and tilt sliding to make the roomy SUV feel extra spacious. The sunroof feature is also available on the SLT and Denali trim levels. A second-row power release bench, 10.2-inch premium infotainments screen system, and nine-speaker Bose Premium Audio system come standard on the AT4.

Yukon Denali

The 2021 GMC Yukon Denali has upgraded its luxury full-size SUV interior from the styled instrument display and four color theme choices with premium leather seating and authentic wood complements. The 10.2-inch GMC infotainment system with navigation comes standard with every 2021 GMC Yukon Denali. The Denali exclusively offers a 14-speaker Bose audio system with Centerpoint surround sound.

The 2021 Yukon Denali is the only trim level with a standard 6.2 liter V8 engine, dual exhaust system and 20-inch six-spoke polished aluminum wheels. It also comes with standard magnetic ride control, electronic stability control, and hill descent control. The 2021 Yukon Denali goes several steps farther than an HD rear camera; every Denali provides HD surround vision for the ultimate bird’s eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings and potential hazards. The Denali trim level uniquely offers advanced adaptive cruise control and an advanced security package.
