Expert 2018 GMC Yukon review

Our expert's take
By Cars.com editors
Full article


What it is: The Yukon is a full-size, truck-based SUV that can seat up to nine people in certain configurations. The Yukon shares its platform with the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, and it comes in two sizes: regular and XL, the latter being GMC's version of the Suburban


Both the Yukon and the Yukon XL are available with rear- or four-wheel drive, and competitors include the Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia.


Denali models get a new chrome grille, plus a 10-speed automatic transmission that replaces an eight-speed automatic.

Yukon XL

Whereas the regular Yukon is a twin to the Chevrolet Tahoe full-size SUV, the Yukon XL is GMC’s version of the Chevrolet Suburban — a king-size SUV. The Yukon XL has the same styling and major features of the regular Yukon but offers more cargo room.

What’s Special

  • Wheelbase is 14 inches longer than Yukon’s
  • Overall length is 20.4 inches longer
  • Maximum cargo volume is 26.4 cubic feet greater, at 121.1 cubic feet

    Safe Vehicle for traveling

    This car is a fabulous car for family and traveling. It is roomy, has capacity for kids and sports gear, and is safe. I have been rear ended twice in a Yukon and there was minimal damage to the Yukon and extensive damage to the other vehicles.

    My Favorite Vehicle I've Owned

    My husband and I drove all the way to Rhode Island from Maine for this vehicle. It had all the packages and options we had been looking for, so it was well worth the drive. Its comfortable, sleek looking, easy to drive, heavy enough to feel comfortable driving in snow and has a lot of power for an SUV.

    Nice, roomier than my previous GM vehicles.

    I am 6foot9 and I sit comfortably, this is so important, very important, actually appears to be more room than before, and they had it ready, with a SHOWROOM finish.

    Everything was great except

    The truck is awesome. We loved everything about it. We even took a few road trips out of state comfortably. However we have only had our GMC Denali for a little over a year. Our sunroof unexpectedly exploded while my husband was driving on a highway. Thank goodness he did not panic, he is a retired veteran which I believe his training helped him remain calm. He said it sounded like an explosion above his head. He thought someone possibly shot out our window as we live in a rural area and people do shoot from their properties. However upon further inspection from my husband and a local CHP, there was no such evidence. It looked as though the sunroof exploded from the inside out. We made a claim through our dealership and they made a claim to GMC. Our dealer informed us that a few weeks before we came in someone else made the exact same claim. GMC agreed to pay for 70% of the cost after the submitted claim was approved by the algorithm which is a computer program. So we are out of pocket at least $500 or more. We looked it up and this is a common problem. Please research before you purchase. If I was driving or if my kids were in the vehicle this could have been catastrophic.
