The 2026 GMC Yukon delivers impressive power with two engine choices. The standard 5.3L V8 pairs with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission for everyday driving. For more demanding towing and performance, the available 6.2L V8 generates up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The available Active Response 4WD system enhances traction on wet or uneven terrain for confident handling in varied conditions. The Yukon also features the available ProGrade Trailering System for robust towing capability. All powertrains are engineered for quick acceleration and smooth highway performance.
