What's New for the 2026 GMC Yukon XL?
After receiving several major updates last year, the Yukon XL returns for 2026 with no significant changes.
What Are the 2026 Yukon XL Trims & Features?
GMC offers the new Yukon XL in five trim levels. The Elevation trim is the lineup's entry point. Its stylish exterior and feature-packed interior will appeal to many drivers. You can enjoy using the GMC infotainment system, which features a massive 16.8-inch touchscreen with Google built in. When taking winter road trips, heated front and second-row seats help ensure outstanding comfort. Other highlights include a 10-speaker Bose sound system, an HD Surround Vision camera, and a digital gauge display.
If you plan to explore the untamed wilderness, the more rugged AT4 trim should get your attention. It adds some great off-road upgrades, including a performance front skid plate and a capable 4WD system. Ventilated front seats and leather upholstery are also included.
Drivers seeking more luxury should consider the Denali trim, an upscale option. Magnetic Ride Control elevates ride comfort. Upgrades, such as ventilated front seats and a 15.0-inch head-up display, are also available on the Yukon XL Denali.
Another step up the trim ladder is the Yukon XL AT4 Ultimate. Not only does this trim come ready to take you on an epic off-road adventure, but it also boasts high-end amenities like massaging front seats and a panoramic power sunroof.
In terms of luxuriousness, the Denali Ultimate trim is the lineup's crown jewel. Its air suspension promotes an especially plush ride.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Yukon XL Have?
The SUV's base engine is a brawny 5.3-liter V8 engine. It develops 355 horsepower, which enables you to tow up to 8,300 pounds. Drivers who desire more muscle can step up to a larger 6.2-liter V8 engine. GMC tunes it to crank out 420 horsepower. Another option is the versatile Duramax diesel engine. A 10-speed automatic gearbox comes standard throughout the lineup.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Yukon XL Include?
Several advanced safety features are equipped on the new Yukon XL, including Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control. If you want to enjoy hands-free driving on the highway, consider upgrading your SUV with Super Cruise. When traveling on dark roads, available Night Vision technology helps you detect pedestrians and large animals more easily.
