2012 GMC Yukon SUV Review & Ratings

Though SUVs are known to be similar in many respects in terms of performance, power, and looks, some SUVs differ greatly from the rest. For example, the 2012 GMC Yukon SUV makes a serious statement on the road, and packs a powerful punch with it's available 6.2L V8 power plant.

The 2012 GMC Yukon SUV is now even more refined and offers a great list of features. The roomy interior and host of amenities enable and promote a comfortable driving experience. This vehicle combines an elegant interior and excellent cargo space making it ideal for long and short hauls alike. The base engine of the 2012 GMC Yukon SUV is a 5.3L V8 engine, but buyers are given the option to go straight to the bigger 6.2L V8 engine that can produce 403 horsepower. This engine is available for the XL and the Denali models. A quick look at the vehicle will reveal tough construction; this should be expected, as it weighs 5500 pounds. But the tough construction and stance of the SUV is softened and complemented with the features found in the interior. GMC paid attention to the details of the interior with the perfect use of sleek and refined materials. The different seating configurations enable the Yukon SUV to easily accommodate five to nine passengers, however the number depends on the trim model selected.

On the subject of trim levels, there are three basic trims offered on the 2012 GMC Yukon SUV- the SLE, SLT, and the top of the line Denali. The SLE trim offers potential buyers what they should expect from the basic trim model including, but not limited to, full power accessories and tri-zone air conditioning. Shoppers can choose between the 4WD and the 2WD for the SLT and the SLE trims. As mentioned the base engine is the 5.3L V8, but when it comes to the Denali model, the engine supplied is the bigger 6.2L V8 engine that produces 403 horsepower. This is actually the same power that can be expected from the Escalade. The 2012 GMC Yukon SUV expertly fuses comfort and utility, and is definitely an option to consider.
