2026 GMC Yukon XL review

GMC Yukon XL: the family hauler that doesn't feel like one. Illustrative review

7.7/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 GMC Yukon XL is a reasonable choice if the price is right. Standard driver-assist suite; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $71,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Would buy again

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
