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 −12.48% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −13.88%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.3% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $56,092. The GMC Yukon XL offers a spacious third row and a huge cargo area, which makes it especially appealing if you need a full-size SUV built around room and utility.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The standard 5.3-liter V8 pushes 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque through a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the Denali’s 6.2-liter V8 pumps out 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.
• Tech: The base SLE trim comes with front and rear parking sensors, auto headlights and wipers, a rear-view camera, remote ignition, keyless entry, and an 8-inch touchscreen with the upgraded IntelliLink system, Bluetooth, a 9-speaker Bose stereo, HD and satellite radio, 5 USB ports, an Aux input, and 4G LTE with 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 gives you the Yukon XL’s core size and 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.
