Used 2022 GMC Yukon for Sale nearChicago, IL

How much does the 2022 GMC Yukon cost?

Prices have softened 12.58% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,775 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 GMC Yukon a good car?

Yes — the 2022 GMC Yukon earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, Technology, and Safety.

The Yukon’s appeal comes through clearly in its full-size SUV mission: it blends style and capability, offers a more premium feel than a typical mainstream SUV, and gives you generous space. For 2022, you also get a standard 12-inch driver information center and enhanced connectivity, which helps modernize the cabin.

The tradeoffs are just as clear. The expert review calls out poor fuel economy and poor value for money, so you should expect to pay for the Yukon’s size, capability, and upscale presentation.

The market looks reasonably supportive, with 36.8% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2022 GMC Yukon reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Yukon’s redesign brought meaningful gains in space, ride quality, and technology, and the 2022 model continues with those strengths. The expert review also points to a smooth, quiet ride over most surfaces and notes that the available air ride adaptive suspension can improve comfort further.

On the powertrain side, the review highlights multiple engine choices, including an economical diesel option, and says the diesel comes with a five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. That kind of coverage can be reassuring if you plan to keep the SUV for the long haul.

For used buyers, the main ownership risk is that a large, feature-rich SUV can become expensive to run if maintenance, fuel, or repairs stack up.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 GMC Yukon?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are not the same as problem-free listings. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension, brakes, tires, and interior wear, especially if the SUV has been used for towing or family hauling. It also makes sense to focus on trim-specific equipment so you know whether the features you want are actually present.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SLE already has a premium look, but the SLT, AT4, and Denali add more upscale presentation, with the Denali bringing the most distinctive interior treatment and the AT4 adding its own off-road styling cues. The SLE uses cloth seats, while the other trims come with perforated leather, and second-row captain’s chairs are available on the SLT and AT4 and standard on the Denali.
• Powertrain: You can choose from a 5.3-liter V8, a 6.2-liter V8, or a 3.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder. The diesel is the efficiency play, while the 6.2-liter V8 is the strongest gas engine and the 5.3-liter V8 is the standard setup on most trims.
• Safety package: GMC Pro Safety is standard and includes automatic emergency braking with front pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, following distance indicator, and automatic high-beam headlights. GMC Pro Safety Plus adds lane-change alert with blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear park assist, and it is standard on SLT and above but only available on SLE.
• Infotainment: The Yukon has a 10.2-inch touchscreen, a 12-inch reconfigurable driver information center, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Google Built-In, and wireless phone charging on all but the SLE. AT4 and Denali also get three years of connected services.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert review says the V8 models return 16-17 mpg combined, while diesel versions average 22-23 mpg combined. It also notes that the test vehicle’s EPA rating was 14/19/16 mpg city/highway/combined.

Which 2022 GMC Yukon trim should I buy?

The 2022 GMC Yukon is offered in 4 trim levels: SLE, SLT, AT4, and Denali.

Here's the short version:

• SLE: This is the entry point, but it still gives you the Yukon’s premium look, standard seating for eight, and the core Pro Safety suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting point and plan to add options selectively.
• SLT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more upscale equipment, perforated leather, and access to second-row captain’s chairs, while also making GMC Pro Safety Plus standard. If you want the sweet spot between price and features, start here.
• AT4: Choose this if you want the Yukon’s more rugged personality, with unique front styling, a skid plate, red recovery hooks, and standard 4WD. It also gets heated and cooled front seats and is the only trim with the off-road-focused setup as standard.
• Denali: This is the luxury choice, with the most distinctive chrome-heavy styling, standard second-row captain’s chairs, heated and cooled front seats, and exclusive interior designs. It’s the right pick if you want the most upscale Yukon experience.

GMC Pro Safety Plus is standard on SLT and above, while it is only available on SLE.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 GMC Yukon?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,775 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.58% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $45,456, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 GMC Yukon's resale value?

The current average of $45,462 sits slightly below last year's $52,007.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may pressure future resale if you buy at the wrong price. If you plan to sell later, the key is to avoid overpaying now and to choose a well-equipped, well-kept example that will stay attractive to the next buyer.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 GMC Yukon safe?

The 2022 GMC Yukon earns an overall four-star rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in front crash protection, five-star ratings in side crash protection, and three-star ratings for rollover resistance.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Every 2022 Yukon comes with GMC Pro Safety, which includes automatic emergency braking with front pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, following distance indicator, and automatic high-beam headlights. GMC Pro Safety Plus adds lane-change alert with blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear park assist, and it is standard on SLT and above.

One caveat is the rollover result, which trails the rest of the crash-test performance and is worth keeping in mind if safety is a top priority.

Should I buy a 2022 GMC Yukon or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.58% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds a standard 12-inch driver information center and enhanced connectivity.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $40,604, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $45,462 average.
• It delivers meaningful gains in space, ride quality, and technology.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year updates and a still-reasonable used price, the 2022 is the cleaner choice. If your priority is saving money and you can live with the earlier version’s strengths, the 2021 is the value play.
