If you’re in the habit of spoiling yourself by buying nothing but the best, then you need to consider getting the brand-new 2023 GMC Yukon. Why? Because of how gorgeous it looks, because of how well it drives, because of how incredibly luxurious and comfortable the interior is, because of how jam-packed with features it is, and because of how spacious it is. Let’s take the reasons one at a time and get a bit more into the details.
If looks could kill, the 2023 Yukon would be standing trial
The first thing that you get out of the 2023 Yukon is its riveting good looks. The large SUV screams luxury from every angle with brash lines and shiny chrome in full display. A gigantic SUV that not only isn’t ashamed of its dimensions, it celebrates them. While many full-sized SUVs are trying their hardest to hide their proportions, the 2023 Yukon does the exact opposite and boasts its lines with pride.
The grille is massive, the C-shaped headlights are imposing, to say the least, and the rims are brash. The 2023 Yukon is built to make a statement and turn heads, you won’t be very stealthy driving one down the street. The newest Yukon somehow takes masculine, rugged lines and makes them look posh and high-end to create one of the most gorgeous exteriors on the market today.
V8 heaven under the hood
When the base engine is a V8, you know you’re in for a treat. The basic model of the 2023 Yukon is called the Yukon SLE and it comes equipped with a 5.3-liter V8 that can belt out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The 5.3-liter is standard on the SLE, SLT, and AT4 trims.
There’s also a bigger V8 available and it comes as optional on the AT4 and standard on the Denali and Denali Ultimate top trims. It’s the 6.2-liter V8 and it can generate a whopping 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Those are pickup truck figures and so is the engine’s maximum towing ability at 8,400 pounds if you pair it with the Max Trailering System.
On top of the two spectacular V8s, there’s also a turbodiesel available, the turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel engine that can belt out 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque to match the towing ability of the 6.3-liter V8.
All engines come paired with a responsive 10-speed automatic transmission.
Room and plenty of it
The 2023 Yukon is massive, nobody thinks otherwise. But people still get surprised by just how incredibly comfortable and spacious its interior is. And no wonder considering that the Yukon XL provides a whopping 42 inches of legroom for its second-row passenger plus 41 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the third row that can balloon to an incredible 145 cubic feet with both backseat rows folded down.
With that, the regular Yukon doesn’t fare badly either as it has 26 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and a massive 123 behind the first.
Features as far as the eye can see
The 2023 GMC Yukon is packed with the latest tech and safety features. And even the base model, the Yukon SLE comes with tons of specs. Order it and you’ll get the 5.3-liter V8 plus LED headlights, 18-inch wheels, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start, an eight-person seating configuration (2-3-3), a responsive 10.2-inch color touch, a digital instrument cluster, both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth connectivity, Forward Collision Mitigation, and Lane Keeping Assist.
Not only that but you can also add a few options to your Yukon SLE such as the GMC Pro Safety Plus package composed of Blind-Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. You can also opt for a front-row bench seat that will boost the maximum passenger count to nine.
The SLT Yukon, though, is where you’ll get the most value for your money. It comes with every spec listed under the SLE plus the GMC Pro Safety Plus package, upgraded 20-inch wheels, a hands-free liftgate, heated and ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, a premium nine-speaker Bose audio system, plus a wireless charging pad.
The Denali and Denali Ultimate are the top trims of the 2023 Yukon and their list of features is so long it could span the length of a book.
