Why it stands out

The 2017 GMC Yukon XL stands out as a full-size SUV built around space, towing-friendly hardware, and a traditional truck-based feel. It rides on the third-generation Yukon XL platform, which uses a solid rear axle and a higher cargo area floor than car-based crossovers, and its long-wheelbase design gives it more room for third-row passengers and cargo. For buyers who need a large SUV that can carry people and gear with ease, that combination is the Yukon XL’s core appeal.

For 2017, the base Yukon XL SLE came standard with a 5.3L V8 engine, eight-passenger seating, 18-inch aluminum wheels, an eight-inch infotainment screen, three-zone climate control, a Bose audio system, and OnStar technology. It also offered a Driver Alert Package with forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane keep assist, lane-change alert, and a vibrating safety alert seat. The SLT added more comfort and convenience, including a hands-free power liftgate, power adjustable pedals, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats with power-folding functionality, and leather seating surfaces.

The Denali trim is what gives the 2017 GMC Yukon XL its luxury edge. It came with the larger 6.2L V8 engine, magnetic ride control suspension, 20-inch aluminum wheels, an upgraded Bose audio system, and a chrome grille, while the Denali Touring Package added a sunroof, head-up display, navigation, and a rear-seat entertainment system. For 2017, automatic low-speed emergency braking was added, and the head-up display became standard on the Denali. The main tradeoff is that fuel economy is not a strength, but for shoppers prioritizing space, comfort, and strong performance in a large family SUV, the 2017 Yukon XL remains a compelling choice.
