8 Favorite Features of the 2024 GMC Yukon

Powerful Engine

With the 2024 Yukon, you have a range of engine options to suit your demands, whether that be daily commuting, hauling loads, or off-road adventuring. GMC offers three engine options across the Yukon trim levels.

5.3-Liter V-8 Gas Engine

This engine develops 355 horsepower and can get from 0 to 60 MPH in 7.2 seconds. It’s the standard engine on the Yukon SLE, Yukon SLT, and Yukon AT4 trims.

6.2-Liter V-8 Gas Engine

This engine develops 420 horsepower and can sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in 6.1 seconds. It’s the standard engine on Yukon Denali and Yukon Denali Ultimate models.

3.0-Liter Turbocharged Diesel Engine

This engine pumps out 277 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in 8 seconds. This diesel engine is available for all 2024 GMC Yukon models except the AT4 trim.

All these Yukon engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and can be had with either a 2WD or a 4WD drivetrain configuration.

Spacious Interior

The Yukon is a large SUV, and that becomes more apparent when you enter the cabin and check the cargo storage space. Standing at 76.5 inches tall and 210 inches long, the Yukon has a three-row seating setup that can accommodate up to 9 people, with ample headroom and legroom. It also offers generous cargo space, which can be extended by folding the back seats.

If you need even more space in the cabin and cargo area, go for the Yukon XL. With a longer wheelbase measuring 225.2 inches, the Yukon XL adds several inches of legroom in the third-row seat and offers 16 cubic feet of extra cargo room. In addition to being extra large, the Yukon XL also ranks among cars with the longest lifespan.

Advanced Technologies

Regardless of the trim level you choose, your Yukon comes loaded with a range of advanced technology features for your convenience and entertainment. For example, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration is standard. Wireless charging is standard on all trims save for the base model SLE.

All Yukon models come with a 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, complete with hundreds of apps and features. There’s also a 12-inch digital instrument panel that offers a convenient view of your driving information. The Denali and the Denali Ultimate trim levels include a 15-inch head-up display that projects key driving information to your windshield.

Luxurious Comfort

You got that right. From the comfortable seat designs to the premium audio system, the 2024 GMC Yukon gives you luxurious comfort for a first-class driving experience. To start, all 2024 Yukon models come with automatic climate controls. This system allows you to pre-set cabin temperature and other air conditioning preferences, ensuring that everyone enjoys comfortable rides regardless of the weather outside.

Heated and cooled front-row seats are standard in all Yukon models except the SLE. Heated second-row seats is available for the SLT and comes standard on the AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. On the entertainment front, the Denali Ultimate comes with an 18-speaker stereo system, the Denali comes with a 14-speaker sound system, and the SLT and AT4 trims come with a 9-speaker audio system.

Excellent Towing Capacity

The 2024 GMC Yukon boasts an impressive towing capability of up to 8,400 pounds, depending on the powertrain configuration. Models running on the 5.3-liter V-8 engine configured with a 2WD system have the highest towing strength. With the 6.2-liter V-8 engine configured with a 2WD system, you can tow up to 8,300 pounds.

With the diesel engine on a 2WD system, you can pull up to 8,200 pounds. Yukon provides plenty of towing muscles to help you move small boats, various trailers, and multiple items comfortably for the adventure.

Impressive Off-road Capability

If adventure takes you off the beaten path, you can count on your Yukon to deliver the enjoyable ride that you and your passengers deserve. Whether you are cruising in the desert or tackling challenging off-road trails, your 4WD Yukon will handle it all while maintaining your comfort.

With the adaptive suspension system that comes standard on Denali Ultimate and available on Denali and AT4 trims, you can comfortably explore a variety of terrains.

Advanced Safety Features

To keep all that power it gives you under control, the 2024 GMC Yukon has a range of advanced safety features, providing peace of mind and keeping you confident no matter where you’re enjoying the ride. The main packages of the Yukon safety features are the GMC Pro Safety and GMC Pro Safety Plus.

GMC Pro Safety

This is the standard safety bundle across the various Yukon models. The package includes a system that helps you avoid crashing into objects in front. This forward collision avoidance system can take corrective measures such as automatically applying brakes to prevent an accident or reduce the impact of a collision.

The standard Yukon safety package also includes a system that helps you stay in your lane. There’s also a system that automatically adjusts your headlamp beam to increase visibility in the dark. Additionally, this package gives you a system that alerts you if you are following the vehicle in front so closely that you risk rear-ending it.

GMC Pro Safety Plus

This advanced safety package is offered in the higher Yukon trims and may be added to the lower models to enhance your safety. It includes everything in the basic safety package and a lot more.

The additional features include a blind spot monitoring system that helps you change lanes and reverse safely in tight spots. There’s also a front and rear park assist system. Additionally, an adaptive cruise control system enables you to set and maintain your desired speed while maintaining a safe following distance with the cars in front.

Top-Notch Factory Warranty

GMC stands firmly behind the mechanical integrity of the capable and versatile 2024 Yukon SUV. You can see that in the solid factory warranty that it has accorded this car. Your new Yukon comes with bumper-to-bumper coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles.

While the pumper-to-pumper warranty covers nearly every component of your machine, you get separate coverage for the powertrain. For the Yukon powertrain, which means the engine, transmission, and drivetrain system, GMC guarantees it will work smoothly over at least 5 years or 60,000 miles. But even after your factory warranty expires, high-quality maintenance service can keep your Yukon running smoothly for many more years.

Available in multiple trim models and offering a range of advanced features, the 2024 Yukon is tuned to deliver your dream ride. Contact us today Auffenberg of Carbondale, IL to schedule a test drive of the 2024 Yukon or explore our broad selection of new and used Buick and GMC models.
