GMC Yukon Performance Specs & Measurements by Trim

There are three GMC Yukon engine options to motivate this full-size luxury SUV, including the following:

5.3-Liter V-8: 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque
6.2-Liter V-8: 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque
3.0-Liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel: 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque

New configurations for GMC Yukon models deliver serious strength, no matter which one you take home.

Cargo volume remains consistent across the models, so you can load up to 25.5 cubic feet of gear in the trunk. Lower the third row to get 72.5 cubic feet or both back rows for a 122.8-cubic-foot maximum. When you opt for the new GMC Yukon XL, you'll get even more space.

GMC Yukon Features by Trim

Comparing trims reveals two distinct focuses: off-roading and luxury. All configurations have a solid foundation for both, but you'll find that the AT4 and AT4 Ultimate models lean into their nature-loving side more, while the Denali and Denali Ultimate variants focus on opulence. For instance, the AT4 and AT4 Ultimate have performance skid plates, recovery hooks, and other advanced trail features. Meanwhile, the Elevation provides excellent value with its generous feature package and competitive starting price.

Our Yukon specials may be able to help mitigate costs if you want to spring for an upper trim.

GMC Yukon Color Options by Trim

Let's talk about 2026 color options. The exterior hues look stunning against any backdrop, from the AT4- and AT4-Ultimate-exclusive Midnight Pine to the universal Onyx Black. Here are the new GMC Yukon colors you can choose from:

Summit White (all trims)
Onyx Black (all trims)
Titanium Rush Metallic (all trims)
Sterling Metallic (all trims)
Volcanic Red Tintcoat (all trims)
Downpour Metallic (Elevation, Denali, and Denali Ultimate)
Midnight Pine (AT4 and AT4 Ultimate)
Glacier White Tricoat (Denali and Denali Ultimate)

Each interior color-and-material combination brings a unique character and atmosphere to your Yukon – your choices by trim are as follows:

Elevation

Jet Black CoreTec/perforated leather-appointed seating
Dark Atmosphere/Gideon CoreTec/perforated leather-appointed seating

AT4

Forest Storm perforated leather seating surfaces with Mahogany accents

Denali

Jet Black perforated leather seating surfaces
Teak/Light Shale perforated leather seating surfaces

AT4 Ultimate

Obsidian Rush full-grain leather seating surfaces with Red accents

Denali Ultimate

While the popular Alpine Umber interior is no longer an option for 2026, a used GMC Yukon might have this winsome, retro-inspired shade.

Frequently Asked Questions

The new 2026 GMC Yukon trim levels continue from the 2025 lineup. You can choose from five well-equipped configurations, including the following:

Elevation
AT4
Denali
AT4 Ultimate
Denali Ultimate

The AT4 models focus on off-roading, while the Denali models present high levels of luxury. We can also show you the Yukon Elevation, which is surprisingly well-appointed for a base-level trim, when you visit our dealership.

What does SLE stand for on the GMC Yukon?

If you're eyeing a Yukon SLE from a previous model year, you'll be interested to know that it stands for "Special Luxury Edition." The 2026 lineup does not offer the SLE trim, but you can get it as a pre-owned model. The 2024 GMC Yukon SLE impresses with a 10.2-inch diagonal infotainment system, 18-inch wheels, front bucket seats, and a 10-way power driver seat.

Is the GMC Yukon considered a luxury vehicle?

Yes, the GMC Yukon is considered a luxury vehicle, particularly in its Denali Ultimate trim. It has an 18-speaker Bose® audio system, panoramic power sunroof, 16.8-inch infotainment screen, full-grain leather seating trim, front-seat power massagers, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear outboard seats in the second row. While the Yukon Denali Ultimate's exterior is bold and rugged, its cabin is beyond deluxe.

Does the Yukon SLT have a sunroof?

The Yukon SLT trim level was available until the 2024 model and did not come standard with a sunroof, though it was available as an add-on for this model. As with the 2026 lineup, the only 2024 model with a standard sunroof is the Denali Ultimate trim. If you're looking for an SLT model with a sunroof, browse our inventory online or contact us to see what's available.

What is the Premium Package on a Yukon?

There are several premium packages available for the Yukon. The Elevation Premium Package adds a panoramic sunroof, Rear Camera Mirror, Head-Up Display, heated and ventilated front seats, and other available appointments. The AT4 Premium Package includes power-retractable assist steps with LED perimeter lighting, as well as many of the aforementioned technologies. The AT4 Premium Plus Package is another option; ask our team for a detailed package list.

Is the Yukon AT4 better than the Denali?

It depends on what you want your SUV's focus to be. While both trim families are loaded with premium features, the AT4 and AT4 Ultimate are characterized by off-roading prowess, while the Denali and Denali Ultimate lean heavily into luxury and comfort. There is plenty of crossover, however. The Air Ride Adaptive suspension comes with both Ultimate models, and luxurious amenities can be found across all Yukon trim levels.

What makes the GMC Denali so special?

The GMC Denali and Denali Ultimate are popular for their all-out dedication to luxury. As the top trim level, the Denali Ultimate offers full-grain leather seating, heated and ventilated driver and front passenger seats, and an 18-speaker audio system, to name a few of its amenities. The Denali provides a balance between a lower starting price and opulence with its perforated leather seats and wrapped steering wheel.
