Used 2022 GMC Yukon for Sale nearChicago, IL

How much does the 2022 GMC Yukon cost?

Prices have softened 12.81% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,478 listings available, which gives you a solid 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.

You’re looking at a full-size SUV that aims for a more premium feel than a basic utility vehicle, with distinctive design, strong capability, and plenty of cargo space. The tradeoffs are familiar for this class: poor fuel economy and poor value for money.

The main compromises are its poor fuel economy and poor value for money, so it makes the most sense if you prioritize space, capability, and a more upscale presentation over efficiency.

With 35.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 GMC Yukon reliable?

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

The 2022 Yukon’s redesign brought meaningful gains in space, ride quality, and technology, and the available adaptive air suspension helps improve comfort and handling. The available diesel also adds an efficiency-focused option, and GM backs that engine with a five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that this is still a large, complex SUV, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-mileage examples or trucks with towing use. Focus on overall condition, signs of wear in the cabin, and whether the equipment on the specific trim matches what you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SLE already has a premium look, but the SLT, AT4, and Denali add more upscale materials and features. Cloth seats are standard on SLE, while the other trims get perforated leather; the AT4 and Denali also add heated and cooled front seats. The Denali stands out with four interior designs not offered on other trims.
• Powertrain: You get a choice of three engines: a 5.3-liter V8, a 6.2-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder. The diesel is the efficiency play, while the 6.2-liter V8 is the strongest gas engine. All three pair with a 10-speed automatic, and the AT4 is 4WD only.
• Safety package: Every 2022 Yukon includes GMC Pro Safety, which brings 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 is available on SLE and standard on SLT and above, adding lane-change alert with blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear park assist.
• Infotainment: The Yukon comes with a 10.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Google Built-In, and wireless phone charging on all but the SLE. It also has a 12-inch driver information center, and AT4 and Denali models get three years of connected services.
• Fuel efficiency: EPA combined fuel economy is 16-17 mpg with the V8 engines and 22-23 mpg with the diesel. GMC says the diesel version can travel up to 648 miles on a tank.

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-leaning design and standard seating for eight. It’s the trim to consider if you want the lowest starting price and plan to add only the options you truly need.
• SLT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more upscale feel and gets GMC Pro Safety Plus standard. It also opens the door to second-row captain’s chairs, which make third-row access easier.
• AT4: Choose this if you want the off-road-oriented look and hardware, including unique front styling, a skid plate, red recovery hooks, and standard 4WD. It also gets the two-speed transfer case standard.
• Denali: This is the luxury pick, with the most distinctive interior treatments, standard second-row captain’s chairs, heated and cooled front seats, and the strongest standard engine. It’s the trim to buy if you want the most upscale Yukon experience.

GMC Pro Safety Plus is available on SLE and standard on SLT and above.
