2023 GMC Yukon: Trim Options

2023 GMC Yukon

For 2023, the GMC Yukon will receive an additional trim level: the all-new Denali Ultimate. This new trim will join the existing four trim levels: SLE, SLT, AT4, and Denali trims. Each trim level offers a unique set of features and amenities. So, whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly option or the most luxurious version of the Yukon, there’s sure to be a trim level perfect for you. Here is a brief overview of each trim level:

• SLE: Starting at an MSRP of $56,295, the SLE trim is the most affordable option. Even though this entry-level trim is short of a few luxury and driver-assistive features, it still comes standard with a long list of features, including LED headlights, body-colored heated side mirrors, a 10-inch infotainment system, and more.
• SLT: If you’re looking for a little more luxury, the SLT trim might be right for you. It starts at an MSRP of $62,995 and comes standard with features like leather seating surfaces, chrome exterior accents, a hands-free power liftgate, and a wireless charging pad.
• AT4: The AT4 trim is the off-road focused option, starting at an MSRP of $70,795. It comes standard with features like an advanced all-wheel-drive system, skid plates, tow hooks, all-terrain tires, and Magnetic Ride Control that automatically adjusts the shock dampers.
• Denali: For the ultimate in luxury and comfort, check out the Denali trim. It starts at an MSRP of $73,800 and comes standard with features such as power extendable side steps, perforated leather seating surfaces, a panoramic sunroof, and a 14-speaker Bose audio system.
• Denali Ultimate: The all-new Denali Ultimate trim is the range-topping option. It comes standard with all of the features of the aforementioned Denali trim, plus additional luxuries like Super Cruise, an 18-speaker Bose Performance audio system, and 22-inch alloy wheels. Its official pricing is a whooping $93,995 MSRP.

2023 GMC Yukon: Performance

When it comes to performance, the 2023 GMC Yukon offers a butterfly-smooth driving experience. Under the hood of the base model is a standard 355 horsepower 5.3-liter V-8 engine. The powertrain is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and produces 383 lb-ft of torque. When paired with rear-wheel drive, it has a towing capacity of up to 8,400 pounds. For those who want even more power, there is an available 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

For the fuel conscious, an optional 3-liter turbodiesel six-cylinder engine offers the best fuel economy. It produces 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. For even more off-road capability, the AT trim comes standard with an advanced all-wheel-drive system that includes a two-speed transfer case and an electronic limited-slip rear differential. This system helps to provide optimal traction on any terrain, whether you’re driving on the street, in the mud, or on the sand.

General Motors Air Ride Adaptive Suspension is standard on the new Denali Ultimate trim. This system automatically adjusts the shock dampers to provide a smooth ride, regardless of the terrain. It’s also designed to improve handling and stability. Still, for those who want even more control, a Magnetic Ride Control system offers Sport and Touring drive modes. This system provides a more aggressive suspension tuning if you want to take the Yukon on a more spirited drive.

Super Cruise is another new addition for the 2023 model year and is standard on the Denali Ultimate trim. This system offers hands-free driving on compatible roads and has been lauded for its ease of use.

2023 GMC Yukon: Interior Design and Technology

Irrespective of the trim you choose, the 2023 Yukon’s interior refinement, state-of-the-art technologies, and welcoming features afford you an exhilarating driving experience. The standard 8-inch GMC Infotainment System is your portal to an array of available apps like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s also where you’ll find the standard GMC Navigation system. This system offers turn-by-turn directions, traffic updates, and real- time weather information.

The available head-up display projects key information onto the windshield so you can easily keep your eyes on the road. Another available feature is the Rear-Seat Media System, which comes with two 12.6-inch diagonal color touch screens, Blu-ray/DVD player, remote control, and Bluetooth headphones. This system is perfect for keeping your backseat passengers entertained on long road trips. 

When it comes to seating, the 2023 GMC Yukon can accommodate up to nine passengers. The first and second rows offer plenty of headroom and legroom, while the third row best suits children or adults on shorter trips.

2023 GMC Yukon: Safety and Driver-Assistive Features

The 2023 GMC Yukon comes standard with a host of safety and driver-assistive features designed to help you stay safe on the road. These include automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, parking sensors, and front pedestrian braking. These features work together to help you avoid or mitigate the severity of a collision. Other standard safety features include child seat anchors and a tire pressure monitoring system.

Available safety features include reverse automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a head-up display, a surround-view parking camera, rear pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. This suite of driver-assistance features works together to help you avoid accidents by keeping you aware of your surroundings and giving you a more comfortable driving experience.

If you opt for the available GMC Connected Access with OnStar, you’ll also have access to a wide range of safety and security features, including emergency roadside assistance, remote vehicle start, and stolen vehicle assistance.
