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 SummaryEquipped with appealing design, a roomy and practical interior, and an indisputable value equation, the 2015 Toyota Venza ought to be a big seller in a country rabid for crossover SUVs. After seven years without a redesign, though, interest in the Venza is waning, and Toyota has announced that it will be discontinued at the end of this model year. That means a great deal can be had, as long as you’re not bothered by the Venza’s lack of convenience, infotainment, and safety features. | |
