GMC has always been known for making big and muscular vehicles that are based on its popular trucks. The Yukon is one such vehicle, that falls under the category of crossover SUV but it has imbibed most of its performance abilities, from its truck siblings. It is considered one of the hottest SUVs that is available not only in the lineup of GMC, but even in the entire segment proudly announced the famous GMC dealership near Salinas.
Having most of its parts shared by other SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe, the Yukon model series from GMC stands out as a lot more different from them, in various perspectives. The GMC Yukon model series got a recent redesign for the 2021 model year release that helped it get sold out like hot cakes, especially with the improved features installed inside. So, it is pretty obvious that the new 2022 model year version of the GMC Yukon will reach the dealership floors without much of any visible changes outside. It will continue as a full-size three-line family carrier that will be filled up with amazing off-road driving capabilities while its features will show a clean inclination towards adopting modern technology.
Features to be Expected in the 2022 Model Year Edition
Much like the 2021 model year edition, even the 2022 model year versions of the GMC Yukon crossover SUV models will be offered in the same four trim levels, namely, the SLE, SLT, AT4 and Denali with the same layers of added advantages at the higher trims.
Likewise, it will be the same 5.3L V8 engine that will brings 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft. of torque to the crossover SUV to rule the city roads and highways. It is quite easy to guess that the range topping Denali trims will be given an exclusive 6.2L V8 engine that will roar with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft. of torque. However, like always GMC will pair all the engines with a 10-speed automatic transmission and allow both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations to its buyers.
It is known from reliable sources that the upcoming 2022 GMC Yukon might equip the SLT trim with some added features like leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and good quality audio system, to be offered as optional.
Engine Performance
The 2022 model year edition of the GMC Yukon will most probably get a boosted up energy from its base engine to accelerate from a dead stop to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds and cross a distance of quarter-mile in just 16.5 seconds.
What is more interesting in the entire story is that the 2022 GMC Yukon might replace the 5.3L engine with a 6.2L V8 engine one in the Denali trim as a standard configuration to speed up its acceleration record, to just 6 seconds which is quite an impressive count for an SUV as big as the 2022 GMC Yukon. However, irrespective of the engine variant you choose for yourself, you will get to enjoy a ride quality as good as a luxury vehicle, promises the well-known Salinas GMC dealer.
