• Infotainment: 8-inch touchscreen with the upgraded IntelliLink system and 4G LTE with a Wi-Fi hotspot
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA estimates the 5.3-liter V8 at 16 mpg city/23 highway with RWD and 15/22 with 4WD, and a combined rating of 18 mpg for both.

Which GMC Yukon XL trim should I buy?

The 2016 GMC Yukon XL offers these trims:

• SLE: The entry trim brings 9-person capacity, front and rear parking sensors, auto headlights and wipers, a rear-view camera, remote ignition, keyless entry, foglights, running boards, roof rails, tri-zone auto climate control, power front seats, cruise control, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, a 9-speaker Bose stereo, HD and satellite radio, 5 USB ports, an Aux input, and 4G LTE with a Wi-Fi hotspot.
• SLT: This is the best-value trim if you want the biggest step up in comfort and convenience, adding the Convenience package, keyless ignition and entry, a hands-free power liftgate, heated and ventilated front seats with a heated power second row and power-folding third row, power-folding mirrors with auto-dim, a heated power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, driver memory, wireless charging, ambient interior lighting, and the Enhanced Driver Alert package with rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring.

What GMC Yukon XL do most buyers choose?

The GMC Yukon XL years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they combine broad availability with strong feature content and pricing that still sits below the newest models. That gives you more choices to compare while keeping the Yukon XL's core strengths of space, comfort, and capability.

What is the GMC Yukon XL's resale value?

Most model years are down by double digits year over year, which is good news if you're shopping used and want more value than you would have gotten a year ago. The newer models are also showing meaningful price drops, so recent-year shoppers may find better entry points than before. The smallest declines are concentrated in the oldest and some of the most in-demand years, which suggests those versions have been holding value relatively better than the rest.

The 2014, 2023, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the GMC Yukon XL safe?

• 2016: 6/10

For the safest used buy, the 2016 model posts the highest confirmed score of 6/10.

Should I buy a used GMC Yukon XL now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −12.69% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −14.04%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 35.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 35.3%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $55,330. The GMC Yukon XL offers a spacious cabin, strong towing capability, and a premium-feeling large-SUV character.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: SLE and SLT Yukons are powered by a very capable 5.3-liter V8 engine pushing 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque through a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the Denali’s 6.2-liter V8 pumps out an impressive 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.
• Tech: The Yukon XL gets every bit of technology available, if you’re willing to pay for it, with the standard 8-inch touchscreen, 9-speaker Bose stereo, HD and satellite radio, 5 USB ports, an Aux input, an SD slot, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Safety: For extra safety, an Enhanced Driver Alert package will upgrade your auto headlights with automatic high beams, plus tack on a forward-collision warning system, lane-departure warning and lane-keep assist, and a vibrating seat to let you know when these systems have been triggered.
• Starting price: Starting at the base SLE trim, you’ll pay around $52,000.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
