What's New For the 2021 GMC Yukon?

For 2021, GMC introduces the next generation of its popular full-size SUV, the Yukon and Yukon XL. While it maintains the Yukon SLE/SLT and Yukon Denali, the newest model unveils its take into the premium off-road space with its first-ever Yukon AT4. This model year now features many standard and available amenities, including a class-leading nine camera views and an all-new available active response system with four-wheel drive. Notable features that truly bring a premium off-road experience to the 2021 Yukon lie in its Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, which offers a ride-height adjustment up to four inches.

2021 Yukon Trims & Features

Similar to its previous models, the GMC Yukon will still offer the SLE/SLT and Denali trims. The SLE/SLT features keyless entry, keyless ignition, a 10.2-inch touchscreen display, and an entertainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The Yukon provides exceptional cabin space. Both the SLE/SLT and the Denali can comfortably seat up to eight occupants. Heated and ventilated leather front seats add an element of luxury. Upgrading to the Denali builds on that list with several exclusive features, including power-sliding center console, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated steering wheel and elegant chrome accents.
As a new addition to the Yukon lineup, the AT4 is characterized by its robust capability and off-road, rugged look. Impressive off-roading systems like the all-new Active Response 4WD System offer a technology that continuously monitors road conditions to enhance traction control and handling. 

GMC Yukon Horsepower

The 2021 GMC Yukon offers two available engines. The base engine in the SLE/SLT is a 5.3-liter V8, capable of generating 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. When properly equipped, the Yukon can tow up to a maximum of 8500 pounds. The second engine, a 6.2-liter V8 engine, is standard on the Denali. When equipped with this engine, the GMC Yukon can output an impressive 420 horsepower with 460 pound-feet of torque. Both the SLE/SLT and Denali are configured with a 10-speed transmission.

2021 GMC Yukon Safety

The Yukon offers standard driver-assist safety features, including forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear park assist. For added peace of mind, the 2021 Yukon offers an available built-in system to encourage safe driving habits for teen drivers. When installed, this system will activate specific safety functions and allow parents to set limits on certain features.
