Performance and Engine Options of the 2023 GMC Yukon

General Motors are generally best known for producing commercial vehicles and high-end work trucks.

It is one of the most accommodating and luxurious passenger vehicles in the brand’s history, with a capacity to seat up to eight passengers. Of the five trims, most are powered by a V8 – either of a 5.3- or a 6.2-liter variety – but a turbodiesel 3L inline-six is also available, which is a rarity in this segment.
