Reviews SummaryWith options quickly disappearing in the near-luxury large SUV segment, the GMC Yukon XL seems to deliver with a duo of powerful engines, a wealth of seating and storage, and 8,000 pounds of towing capacity. But manufacturing oversights and some competent competition mean you should strongly consider alternatives before making your decision. Before you discount the Yukon entirely, take a look at improvements that have been added to the 2016: a faster processor for its IntelliLink system, Apple CarPlay, and added safety features like lane-keep assist and auto high beams, plus SLT trims and above are now fitted with a hands-free power rear liftgate. | |
Reviews SummaryGM’s new C1 platform is the foundation for everything from the new Cadillac XT5 to the Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave in its long-wheelbase form. After nearly 10 years of living on the Lambda, the Acadia is joining the prestigious C1 ranks for its 2017 redesign, and that means a shorter, narrower profile with a shorter wheelbase as well. More importantly, the Acadia shows up in 2017 with a brand new 4-cylinder engine, which contributes to an impressive 700-plus-pound weight loss. | |
