Full-Size Capability: 2027 GMC Yukon

Meet the 2027 GMC Yukon in Rocky Mount

The 2027 GMC Yukon brings truck-based capability and three-row comfort together in GMC’s full-size SUV lineup. It is larger than the Acadia, while the separate Yukon XL stretches the formula for additional cargo space.

For shoppers exploring SUVs for families at Midpoint GMC in Rocky Mount, VA, Yukon offers more than passenger capacity. Its engine choices, configurable cabin, and distinct AT4 and Denali personalities let you prioritize towing, rugged hardware, or premium travel. The five retail trims are Elevation, AT4, AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate.

Interior Specs and Features

Yukon’s cabin puts passenger room first without overlooking luggage. The second-row configuration determines seating capacity, and premium seating packages change the experience as much as the appearance.

Interior Dimensions

• Seating: Up to eight with a second-row bench; seven with captain’s chairs
• Front/second-/third-row legroom: 44.50/42.00/34.90 inches
• Front/second-/third-row headroom without a sunroof: 42.30/38.90/38.20 inches
• Front/second-/third-row shoulder room: 65.50/64.70/62.70 inches
• Cargo behind the third row: 25.5 cubic feet
• Cargo behind the second row: 72.5 cubic feet
• Maximum cargo behind the first row: 122.8 cubic feet

The third-row dimensions make it worth testing with your regular passengers, not treating it only as overflow seating. Folding the rear rows opens space for bulkier gear, but maximum cargo volume is not available while carrying a full passenger load.

Interior Highlights

• Standard heated front seats, heated second-row outboard seats, and heated steering wheel
• Standard tri-zone automatic climate control and power-folding third-row bench
• Ventilated front seats on AT4, AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate; available on Elevation
• Perforated leather seating surfaces on AT4 and Denali; full-grain leather on the Ultimate trims
• Front-seat massage on AT4 Ultimate and Denali Ultimate
• Available Denali Ultimate Executive Second Row Seating Package with ventilation and massage
• Standard second-row LATCH anchors and top tethers, plus third-row top tethers

The Ultimate trims turn longer journeys into a more comfort-focused experience. For child-seat use, inspect the actual seating layout and follow restraint instructions rather than assuming every position has identical anchors.

Exterior Design

Yukon has substantial proportions and visibly different trim identities. AT4 models emphasize a high-clearance front fascia and protective hardware; Denali models take a more polished, premium direction.

Exterior Dimensions

• Overall length: 210.10 inches
• Body width without mirrors: 81.00 inches
• Overall height: 76.50 inches
• Wheelbase: 121 inches
• Front/rear track width: 68.40/68.10 inches

Exterior Highlights

• Standard heated, power-folding outside mirrors
• Standard LED headlights and taillights with animated lighting
• Elevation, AT4, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali: standard 20-inch wheels
• Denali Ultimate: Standard 24-inch wheels
• AT4 trims: All-terrain tires, front skid plate, and red recovery hooks
• Elevation: Power programmable liftgate; other trims: AutoSense hands-free liftgate
• Ultimate trims: Power-retractable assist steps with perimeter lighting

Assist steps ease cabin access, while the AutoSense liftgate helps when your hands are occupied. AT4’s equipment supports rougher access routes without making this large SUV a substitute for careful obstacle assessment.

Exterior Paint Options

• Coastal Dune
• Glacier White Tricoat
• Titanium Rush Metallic
• Summit White
• Onyx Black
• Volcanic Red Tintcoat
• Sterling Metallic
• Downpour Metallic

Coastal Dune is limited to AT4 and AT4 Ultimate. Glacier White Tricoat is limited to Denali and Denali Ultimate; Downpour Metallic is unavailable on AT4 trims. All listed colors except Summit White carry an extra charge.

Power and Performance

Yukon offers two gasoline V8s and a torque-rich diesel. Choosing an engine depends on the job you need it to do.

Engines and Powertrains

• 5.3-liter V8: 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque; standard on Elevation and AT4
• 6.2-liter V8: 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque; available on AT4 and standard on AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate
• Duramax® 3.0-liter turbo-diesel: 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque; available across the lineup, with package requirements on Elevation, AT4, and Denali

The larger V8 supplies the highest horsepower, while the diesel delivers the highest torque. Neither distinction alone determines towing capacity; drivetrain and required equipment also matter.

Transmission and Drivetrain

• Ten-speed automatic transmission with every engine
• Rear-wheel drive or available four-wheel drive on Elevation and Denali
• Standard four-wheel drive on AT4, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate

Four-wheel drive adds traction capability for changing surfaces. Low-range gearing can help during appropriate low-speed maneuvers, but tires, conditions, and driver judgment remain essential.

Towing, Payload, and Capability

Verified maximum trailer ratings for the standard-length Yukon are:

• 5.3-liter V8: 7,900 pounds RWD or 7,700 pounds 4WD; with Max Trailering Package, 8,400 or 8,200 pounds, respectively
• 6.2-liter V8: 7,700 pounds RWD or 7,500 pounds 4WD; with Max Trailering Package, 8,200 or 8,000 pounds, respectively
• Duramax diesel: 8,100 pounds RWD or 7,900 pounds 4WD, with or without that package

Published payload figures also differ:

• 5.3-liter models: 1,510 pounds RWD/1,540 pounds 4WD
• 6.2-liter models: 1,340/1,370 pounds
• Diesel models: 1,440/1,380 pounds

A camper or boat must fit the selected vehicle’s limits, not the lineup maximum. Passengers, cargo, and optional equipment reduce available trailer capacity. Check the vehicle’s loading label, tongue weight, and owner guidance before towing.

Driving Experience and Efficiency

• Elevation: Premium Smooth Ride suspension
• Other trims: Magnetic Ride Control
• Ultimate trims: Air Ride Adaptive Suspension; available on AT4 and Denali with applicable equipment
• Standard trailer sway control and available integrated trailer brake controller

Suspension choice helps define Yukon’s balance of capability and comfort. Test the wheel-and-suspension combination on familiar roads, and compare engine options against your typical mileage and towing routine rather than assuming one universal efficiency result.

Key Technology Features

Yukon’s technology helps manage navigation, passenger entertainment, and the information that matters when operating a full-size SUV.

Displays and Infotainment

• Standard 16.8-inch Premium GMC Infotainment System
• Standard 11-inch Driver Information Center
• Google built-in compatibility, navigation capability, and natural voice recognition
• 15-inch Head-Up Display on AT4 Ultimate and Denali trims; available on Elevation and AT4

Separate displays give vehicle data and supported media functions their own space. The head-up display places selected information nearer the driver’s forward view; connected services may require a plan.

Connectivity and Convenience

• Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and wireless phone charging
• Standard third-row USB-C charging ports
• Bose® 10-speaker audio on Elevation, AT4, and Denali; 18-speaker audio on Ultimate trims
• Available Denali Ultimate executive seating package with 22-speaker Bose audio

Rear-row charging and upgraded audio support shared road trips, not just the driver’s experience. Confirm phone compatibility and any service requirements for connected features.

Safety Review

Yukon’s assistance systems support an attentive driver across forward traffic, intersections, and parking. They do not replace safe driving, and operating limitations apply.

Driver-Assistance Technology

Standard equipment includes:

• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert
• Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking and Reverse Automatic Braking

These systems help address detected hazards during supported driving situations. Super Cruise® is standard on AT4 Ultimate and Denali trims and available on Elevation and AT4. It requires compatible roads, driver attention, and an active plan or trial; it is not autonomous driving.

Parking, Visibility, and Vehicle Safety

• Standard HD Surround Vision and Surround Vision Recorder
• Standard Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist
• Standard Rear Pedestrian Alert and IntelliBeam automatic high beams

Camera views help assess tight spaces, while parking assistance can support selected maneuvers. Always check surroundings directly and remain ready to take control.
