The 2026 GMC Yukon comes standard with a 5.3L V8 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission-solid power for everyday driving and highway comfort. If you want extra muscle, the optional 6.2L V8 delivers an impressive 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.

Both engines work smoothly with the 10-speed transmission for quick acceleration and responsive highway performance. An available ProGradeTM Trailering System is also offered for those who tow. The available Active Response 4WD system gives you extra traction on wet or uneven terrain.
