Reviews Summary With options quickly disappearing in the near-luxury large SUV segment, the GMC Yukon XL seems to deliver with a duo of powerful engines, a wealth of seating and storage, and 8,000 pounds of towing capacity. But manufacturing oversights and some competent competition mean you should strongly consider alternatives before making your decision. Before you discount the Yukon entirely, take a look at improvements that have been added to the 2016: a faster processor for its IntelliLink system, Apple CarPlay, and added safety features like lane-keep assist and auto high beams, plus SLT trims and above are now fitted with a hands-free power rear liftgate.
Reviews Summary The 2022 Mazda CX-9 is a midsize three-row crossover SUV with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and standard all-wheel drive (AWD). Offered in six trim levels for the 2022 model year, the CX-9 starts at $35,630 and rises past $47,560.
