2024 GMC Yukon Changes
The 2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL received no notable changes. GMC has already announced upcoming changes to the 2025 model.
Choosing Your 2024 GMC Yukon
The 2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL are available in SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate trims. Base prices for the Yukon line range from $60,195 to $98,550. The extended-length Yukon XL models are priced at about $1,000 more.
2024 GMC Yukon Engine Options
There are three powertrain choices, however, only certain trims are available with certain engines. The SLE, SLT, and AT4 trims are equipped with the 5.3-liter V8. While the SLE and SLT offer the 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder turbo-diesel engine ($1,000) but not the larger V8, the AT4 does the opposite by offering the 6.2-liter V8 but not the diesel - although expect this to change for 2025.
The Denali and Denali Ultimate are standard with the larger V8 and can be equipped with the diesel engine (for a savings of $1,550). All engines are mated to a push/ pull-button 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive is standard.
Two types of automatically engaging four-wheel drive systems are offered (for about $3,000), with one being more on-road traction-minded and the other providing extra low-speed power through a two-speed transfer case. The AT4 is only offered with the heavy-duty system.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque | Fuel Economy (Combined) |
5.3 V8 | 355 hp | 383 lb-ft | 17 MPG, 16 MPG (Yukon XL 4WD) |
6.2 V8 | 420 hp | 460 lb-ft | 16 MPG Premium Fuel |
3.0 TD | 277 hp | 460 lb-ft | 23 MPG (2WD), 22 MPG (4WD) |
2024 GMC Yukon Fuel Economy
The diesel engine is the most efficient although prices per gallon are higher than gasoline. With today’s prices, the EPA estimates that they will cost about the same to fuel annually. The large V8 requires up to $1,100 more in fuel costs due to its requirement for premium octane gasoline.
2024 GMC Yukon Towing Capacity
The Yukon is rated to pull up to 8,400 pounds while the 6.2-liter engine with 4WD, is rated for up to 8,000 pounds when fitted with the Max Trailering Package which fits a higher cooling-capacity radiator and additional provisions for auxiliary camera inputs.
2024 GMC Yukon Dimensions & Cargo Capacity
The Yukon and the Yukon XL are some of the biggest vehicles offered to retail customers, this side of heavy-duty pick-up trucks.
The Yukon stands 210 inches long, 81 inches wide, and about 76.5 inches high. The Yukon XL extends the wheelbase by 13 inches and the overall length grows to 225.2 inches.
Yukon and Yukon XL models offer three rows of seating and room for up to eight passengers (nine with the SLE trim’s available front bench seat).
While both models provide 42 inches of legroom for the second row, the Yukon XL offers a bit more legroom for third-row occupants (34.9 inches vs 36.7 inches). Cargo space is a similar story where the standard-length Yukon provides an impressive 25.5 cubic feet of space behind the third row, 72.6 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 72.6 cubic feet with both rows folded flat compared to the extended-length model’s 41.5/ 93.8/ 144.7 cubic feet of space, respectively.
2024 GMC Yukon Safety
The SLE trim is equipped with automatic emergency braking, a following distance indicator, lane-keep assist, automatic high beams, front and rear parking sensors, and an HD rearview camera. The SLT trim gains blind-spot detection with rear cross-traffic alert and a safety alert (vibrating) seat, the Denali trim receives a more advanced automatic emergency braking system, an HD surround-view monitor, and rear pedestrian detection, and the Denali Ultimate trim is equipped with Super Cruise - a Level 2 partially automated highway driving system, automatic reverse braking, trailer blind zone alert, and a parking assist system.
The Yukon has not been fully evaluated by IIHS.
2024 GMC Yukon Technology
The Yukon incorporates a 10.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM with 360L, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and On-Star connectivity. Charging is provided by six USB ports (two per row) onboard and two 120V power outlets. Wireless charging is standard on the SLT trim as well as a nine-speaker Bose sound system. A Bose Bose 14-speaker CenterPoint audio system is standard on the Denali trim.

The large Yukon is well-suited for hauling loads of passengers and gear and for that we would stick with the SLT trim for its lower price yet would opt for the SLT Luxury Package to add a more premium feel.
