Is the 2024 GMC Yukon getting a mid-cycle refresh?
We’re not quite sure! GMC has yet to make an announcement as to whether the Yukon will receive a refresh, which typically includes redesigned exterior styling and updated tech features. For a long time, GMC was widely expected to introduce a refreshed Yukon, but now there are rumors that we won’t get one until the 2025 model year. Only time will tell, but we’ll update this space when we know more!
Why choose the 2024 GMC Yukon?
The Yukon is a large, three-row SUV that’s perfect for families on the go, whether that means a lot of road trips, baseball practices, or forays into off-road terrain. Inside, the Yukon is practically a cavern, with seating for seven to nine passengers, depending on how you configure your model.
The current Yukon offers five trim models: SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. These options allow you to choose how much you want to spend on available features. The entry-level SLE is a great choice for drivers who want the best price on a new model, but it also comes with lots of coveted features, including a 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen and LED headlamps.
Moving up to the SLT will land you more features at a slightly higher price, such as a nine-speaker Bose sound system and heated and cooled front seats. For more adventure, check out the off-road-ready Yukon AT4, which improves performance with standard four-wheel drive and an improved approach angle. For pure luxury, check out the Denali, which adds second-row bucket seats and a 14-speaker Bose sound system, among other upgrades. The Denali Ultimate is even more luxurious, adding to the aforementioned features with massaging front seats and unique leather upholstery.
How powerful is the 2024 GMC Yukon?
A mid-cycle refresh is possible for the upcoming Yukon, so we may see some potential powertrain upgrades, including a next-generation Duramax diesel engine option. Like recent versions of this big SUV, you can expect the upcoming model to provide a variety of powerful engine options, a fast-acting automatic transmission, and available four-wheel drive! Depending on equipment, you can create a very rugged Yukon.
For an idea of what to expect, here’s a look at last year’s engine options, which are available according to Yukon trim model:
- SLE, SLT, AT4: 5.3-liter V8 (355 horsepower, 383 lb-ft of torque)
- Denali, optional for AT4: 6.2L V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft)
- Optional for SLE, SLT, Denali: turbocharged 3.0L six-cylinder diesel engine (277 hp, 460 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
How much will the 2024 GMC Yukon cost?
We’ll have to wait and see what official prices will look like, but we expect these three-row SUVs to start around $60,000.
