The 2026 GMC Yukon delivers impressive performance across its lineup. The standard 5.3L V8 engine generates 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking maximum power, the available 6.2L V8 ups output to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque-matching the Wagoneer's top engine and exceeding the Expedition's capabilities.

A refined 10-speed automatic transmission pairs with either engine, ensuring confident acceleration and smooth cruising. The Yukon confidently tows up to 8,400 pounds, and an available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel option provides exceptional torque and fuel efficiency for demanding drivers.

The available Active Response 4WD system seamlessly distributes torque for optimal grip on any terrain, while the ProGrade Trailering System with up to 13 camera views gives you precision and awareness unmatched by competitors.
