Is the GMC Yukon XL a good car?

Yes — the GMC Yukon XL is a strong choice if you want a full-size SUV built around space, comfort, and capability. The all-generations owner rating is 4.6/5 across every model year in the data.

The main tradeoffs that come up in recent expert reviews are fuel economy, handling that feels less agile than car-based crossovers, and some older-model technology that can feel dated.
