2021 GMC Yukon, Yukon XL Price: Big Third-Row Room, Teeny-Tiny Cost Increase
GM gave the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL (as well as the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban) an impressive redesign for the 2021 model year. We were so impressed by the Yukon’s updates — among them a vastly improved interior that now has actual room for adults in the third row and a legitimately luxurious Denali trim — that we named it our Best in Show at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show. Now we learn that all those award-winning updates won’t cost buyers an arm and a leg, or even just an arm or a leg: The 2021 GMC Yukon will start at $51,995 (including a $1,295 destination fee), only $100 more than the outgoing generation.
