Looking to extend your passenger count and/or cargo space in your new vehicle? Then GMC has the perfect option for you! Take the 2020 Yukon and add 24 Cubic Feet of cargo space behind the third row and just over 9.5 additional inches of third-row legroom, and you have the Yukon XL. Starting at a mere $2,800 more than the original Yukon, the Yukon XL easily pays you back in all the additional space and features that it delivers.
Cargo / Passenger Space
The Yukon XL redefines what it means to have space for the whole family AND all your gear in one place. With the ability to seat up to 9 passengers, you will never have to worry about carpooling for sports or taking a well-deserved vacation with the whole family. The 39.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row of seating will truly open up a whole new world of options for everyday responsibilities and weekend adventures. The standard cargo net will only add to the versatility in packing and organizing for any event.
If solitary adventures are more your thing, then fold down a row or two of seating and you just opened endless amounts of possibilities in cargo space. With a total of 121.70 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row of seating, there will always be enough room for every necessity on the go or around town. You will no longer have to leave home without your larger accessories for camping or the lake, because each Yukon XL comes standard with Black Roof-Mounted Side Rails.
Comfort
The Yukon XL can seat up to 9 people, which can sometimes make it hard to keep everybody happy and comfortable. However, the Yukon XL has some available features to help keep your eyes on the road and your precious cargo happy. It even comes standard with black assist steps, so no matter what your height, climbing in and out will be easy and convenient for everyone.
The Tri Zone Automatic Climate Control comes standard and will allow each row of passengers to have control over their own temperature.
Say goodbye to those days when you had to raise your voice just to communicate with the back seat. With the Acoustic Laminated Glass that comes standard on the Yukon XL, the outside sounds will efficiently be dampened so you can finally enjoy a quiet ride full of fun conversation or invigorating music.
Enough with the comfort for the kids, what about the driver? With available features like the perforated leather-appointed seat trim and Inside Rearview Auto-Dimming Mirror, your drive will be as comfortable and convenient as those who aren’t driving.
If you’re really looking to elevate your driving experience, then the Denali Premium Package or Open Road Package will do just that. The Denali Premium Package includes Power-Retractable Assist Steps, Power Sunroof, 22” All-Season Black Wall Tires, and Wheel locks. The Open Road Package also includes the Power Sunroof, but instead of some style upgrades, includes a Third Row Blu-Ray/ DVD Screen and Blu-Ray/DVD Player to keep any young (or seasoned) passengers entertained for the long haul.
Technology
GMC really outdid themselves with the 2020 Yukon XL. There are available Keyless Start and Open options. Two Bose® Sound System options; the Premium Audio System and the Centerpoint® Surround Sound Audio System. Along with that, you also have the ability to add a Rear Seat Entertainment System with Blu-Ray/DVD Player. All Yukon XL models come with the capability to become a 4G LTE Wi-Fi® Hotspot. And there are also available Wireless Charging capabilities.
Some of the available features for this vehicle are ones that you may not even know exist. Such as the available IntelliBeam technology. The IntelliBeam technology turns those regular old headlights into intelligent headlights, like the name suggests. The car will automatically turn on the vehicle’s high-beam headlamps when it is dark enough and it doesn’t sense any other present traffic. And as intelligently as they turned on, they automatically turn off when it senses that there are surrounding vehicles or there is a different level of surrounding light requiring a normal headlamp output instead of the high-beams. Along those same lines of available features you may not realize that you need in your life, is the Hands-Free Power Liftgate, which enables you to easily open the liftgate of the vehicle by simply sticking your foot out under the rear bumper!
Towing Capacity / Safety
The Yukon comes in both the 2 Wheel Drive and 4 Wheel Drive options as well as the 5.3 L EXOTEC3 V8 Engine with 6 Speed Automatic Transmission and 6.2L ECOTEC3 V8 Engine with 10 Speed Automatic Transmission options. With these options you are able to better customize your vehicle’s towing capacity to suit your needs. Max trailer weight is 8,300 lbs in the best configuration for towing.
As for safety, the Yukon XL comes standard with many features making your driving experience more confidence instilling. Those include; Rear Vision Camera, Front and Rear Park Assist, Rainsense™ Automatic Wipers, and StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Traction Control. Other features that are available to add include; Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Head Up Display.
Summary
Ultimately when it comes right down to it, the 2020 GMC Yukon XL is truly the king of all SUVs. Seamlessly combining strength, comfort, convenience, stability, space, and safety to create the ultimate day-to-day and road-trip-ready vehicle for the whole family.
