The All-New 2021 GMC Yukon Has Arrived

The 2021 GMC Yukon receives an exciting redesign for its latest model year, and it’s better than ever before. With improved design, increased power and the latest smart technology, the 2021 Yukon is sure to check all the boxes for your next full-size SUV. Although this latest model boasts its distinct Yukon styling, it takes on improved mechanical and performance features from Chevrolet that you’ll love. So, why exactly are we so excited about the 2021 GMC Yukon? We’ll show you all the reasons.

Trim Options

There are 4 available Yukon trim options for 2021:

• SLE

• SLT

• AT4

• Denali

Striking Styling

The latest GMC Yukon is bigger and bolder than ever before. The exterior design features defined sculpting to create an aggressive look that complements its wide-body stance. The Yukon’s wide front grille is accented by bold, C-shaped LED headlights that feature daytime running lights and LED fog lamps. The Yukon’s LED taillights are also designed with the same C-shaped look. For additional aesthetic appeal, you can opt for the available dual exhaust system, equipped with dual twin polished stainless steel tips. You’ll also have premium wheel options of up to 22” that match your sense of style. No matter which trim and appearance options you choose, you’ll get everything you want and need in this SUV.

The 2021 Yukon offers helpful convenience features that make stowing cargo and hitting the road easier than ever. Available features include a hands-free programmable power liftgate, Rainsense front wipers, keyless entry and power-retractable assist side steps.

Interior Comfort and Versatility

Although you’ve already come to expect a comfortable, spacious interior in the Yukon, it’s been improved even more for 2021. Depending on the trim level you choose, you’ll have various seating colour and style finishes, as well as options of up to seating for 8.

A highlighted feature of the latest model Yukon is its power-sliding center console, which allows the driver to slide the console over a 10” track to optimize first-row cargo space for bulkier items. To maximize cargo space even more, the Yukon is equipped with second-row fold-flat seating and available third-row power fold-flat seating. So, no matter what you need to bring along with you on the road, you can be sure you’ll have room for it all.

The Yukon also features an available dual-panel panoramic sunroof that includes a tilt-sliding power sunshade. Enjoying the sights of the open road has never been easier to do.

To maximize driver and passenger comfort, the Yukon is available with features like heated and ventilated first and second-row seating and tri-zone automatic climate control.

Dynamic Power and Performance

When it comes to power, you won’t be disappointed with what the Yukon delivers. In fact, it offers 3 different engine options to give you the power you need:

• 5.3L V8 engine: delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque

• 6.2L V8 engine (offered in Denali only): delivers 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque

• 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel

Each option comes equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission. With these offered engine options, the Yukon has been named the most powerful full-size SUV in its segment.

The 2021 Yukon is also the first in its class to offer a 4-corner air ride adaptive suspension! This suspension delivers smooth ride comfort by automatically adjusting the ride height to driving conditions. It can also raise and lower the Yukon up to 2” to provide easier entry and exit, as well as improve ground clearance in off-road conditions.

Additionally, the 2021 Yukon offers an available all-new Active Response 4WD system that helps you maneuver in slippery or off-road conditions by seamlessly sending optimal torque to each wheel to improve traction. You’ll also have a traction select system with multiple configurations to maximize stability control and traction on a variety of terrain types.

Advanced Tech

When it comes to smart technology, the Yukon is packed with features that make your drive more fun and that actively keep you safe. Key tech features include a 10.2” diagonal Premium GMC infotainment system with available navigation, a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and customizable driver profiles. You’ll also have wireless smartphone connectivity; Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and available Amazon Alexa, completely cord-free. To ensure your rear passengers enjoy the entertainment, too, the available rear-seat media system features 12.6” diagonal screens with touchscreen and screen-sharing capability.

You’ll even love the available class-leading 15” diagonal head-up display and 9 camera views, providing you with a high-definition surround vision of your vehicle.
