Reviews Summary

With 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 Summary

Volvo's new XC90 flagship offers both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options as well as two gas engine choices and a hybrid to suit a variety of customers. A luxury interior with seating options for either 5 or 7 passengers with room for cargo makes it a solid option in a full-size SUV.
