What's New for the 2026 GMC Yukon?
The 2026 GMC Yukon is a stylish, full-size family SUV that sits toward the larger end of the segment. GMC keeps the Yukon feeling manageable through modern technology and aerodynamic styling, so despite its size, it's genuinely enjoyable to drive. For 2026, GMC refines the significant updates introduced in 2025, rather than overhauling the model. As a result, buyers will notice that lower trims now come with even more standard equipment.
What Are the 2026 Yukon Trims & Features?
Trims: Elevation, AT4, AT4 Ultimate, Denali, Denali Ultimate
If you want an SUV with presence and premium touches, the Yukon ranks among the most sumptuous choices available. Even the base model includes creature comforts like heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. AT4 models add a more rugged look with 20" machined-and-painted Carbon Flash metallic wheels, red recovery hooks, and a protective skid plate; an optional Air Ride adaptive suspension can further boost off-road capability. At the top of the lineup, the Denali and Denali Ultimate focus on luxury and technology - think a power-sliding center console, a Multi-Color 15" head-up display (Denali), 24" selective machined-and-painted After Midnight metallic aluminum wheels, and Super Cruise hands-free driving as standard on the Denali Ultimate.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Yukon Have?
The 2026 Yukon is available with three engines: a 5.3L V8 producing 355 horsepower, a 6.2L V8 generating 420 horsepower, and a Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine delivering 305 horsepower. Torque figures are equally impressive, topping out at 495 lb-ft.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Yukon Include?
GMC says it makes "driver confidence a priority," and the Yukon backs that up. The 2026 model comes with more than 17 standard driver-assist and safety technologies, including enhanced automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic braking, enhanced automatic parking assist, and Blind Zone Steering Assist - all designed to make drivers feel secure behind the wheel.
