What GMC Yukon XL do most buyers choose?

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

What is the GMC Yukon XL's resale value?

Prices are down across every model year shown, which is good news if you're shopping used.

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 −13.8% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −13.63%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 37.1% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 38%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $54,605. The GMC Yukon XL offers a spacious cabin and generous cargo room that make it especially appealing for large families and gear-heavy trips.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 5.3-liter V8 pushes 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque through a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the 6.2-liter V8 pumps out 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.
• Tech: The standard 8-inch touchscreen with 9-speaker Bose stereo is complemented by 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 around $52,000, the base SLE trim brings a broad set of standard equipment.

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.
