2022 GMC Yukon 2500 in Orleans
Today’s SUV market covers vehicles of all sizes, but for sheer strength and convenience there’s nothing to beat a large, three-row SUV. The GMC Yukon is just such a vehicle, with space for up to eight passengers and plenty of towing and payload capacity to handle even the most demanding of tasks. We now have the latest 2022 GMC Yukon 2500 available for test drive at our Orleans dealership, and here are the key highlights to look out for.
Huge Power Under the Hood
The 2022 GMC Yukon powertrain is built around a 2.3L V8 gas engine making a hefty 355 horsepower and 383lb-ft of torque, plenty enough to power this SUV’s reassuringly substantial frame with confidence and poise. The output is passed to rear-wheel drive via a ten-speed automatic transmission, although all-wheel drive is an available option across the entire range.
But if you need even more pep, possibly for tougher outdoor adventuring, then trading up to the Denali edition brings a 6.2L V8 into play, boosting the horsepower to 420 hp and the torque to a pavement-tearing 460lb-ft.
Towing and Cargo Capacity
At the highest powertrain level, the Yukon is capable of hauling up to 3,636kg in trailer weight, more than enough for the longest wilderness treks. But even without a trailer attached, the Yukon provides plenty of space for cargo. When fully laden with eight passengers, there’s still 722L of space behind the third row. Fold down the two rear rows, however, and there’s fully 3,480L available in the standard Yukon, rising even further to 4,097L in the longer Yukon XL model.
Infotainment and Technology
The Yukon’s interior is also extremely well equipped with infotainment technology. A 10.2″ touchscreen display is standard on every model, along with wireless smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, and seven USB ports. And for longer family journeys, the optional dual-screen rear seat entertainment system will certainly make a worthwhile investment.
And to complete the tech picture, there’s a generous range of safety systems including automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, front and rear parking sensors, and an optional 15″ head-up display.
