Specs and Features: 2027 Yukon

2027 GMC Yukon: Full-Size GMC Capability for Goldsboro Drivers

The 2027 GMC Yukon combines three-row passenger space with truck-based capability and a distinctly premium approach to travel. Above the Acadia in GMC’s SUV lineup, it gives shoppers a choice of V8 or diesel power, rugged AT4 equipment, and comfort-focused Denali appointments.

At Doug Henry Buick GMC in Goldsboro, NC, shoppers researching SUVs for families can start with five trims: Elevation, AT4, AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. The useful question is how much passenger flexibility, towing capability, and cabin refinement your routine requires. The Yukon lets you address those priorities separately rather than treating every upgrade as essential.

2027 Yukon Interior

Yukon’s cabin accommodates a busy passenger schedule without making the driver the sole focus of its comfort equipment. Second-row configuration determines capacity, while the Ultimate trims add a more indulgent seating experience.

Interior Dimensions

Seating: Up to eight with a second-row bench; seven with captain’s chairs
Legroom, first/second/third rows: 44.50/42.00/34.90 inches
Headroom, first/second/third rows: 42.30/38.90/38.20 inches without a sunroof
Shoulder room, first/second/third rows: 65.50/64.70/62.70 inches
Cargo behind the third row: 25.5 cubic feet
Cargo with the third row folded: 72.5 cubic feet
Maximum cargo with both rear rows folded: 122.8 cubic feet

Try the third row with the people who will use it regularly. The cargo figures also show why a full passenger load and a large equipment haul require different seating arrangements.

Interior Highlights

Every trim: Heated front seats, heated second-row outboard seats, heated steering wheel, and tri-zone automatic climate control
Rear-seat flexibility: Standard power-folding third row; second-row bench standard on Elevation and AT4, available on Denali with restrictions
Upholstery: Elevation CoreTec/perforated leather-appointed seating; AT4 and Denali perforated leather seating surfaces; Ultimate trims full-grain leather
Front ventilation: Standard above Elevation; available on Elevation through the Technology Package
Massage: Front-seat massage standard on both Ultimate trims; second-row massage available through Denali Ultimate’s Executive Second Row Seating Package
Child-seat provisions: Second-row lower anchors and top tethers; third-row top tethers

Captain’s chairs suit households that prefer separate second-row seating; the bench preserves another passenger position. Check child-restraint fit and third-row access in the actual vehicle before choosing a configuration.

2027 Yukon Exterior

Yukon’s shape communicates its full-size purpose, but trim details change its personality. AT4 models emphasize protective hardware and trail-oriented styling; Denali models take the same substantial footprint in a polished direction.

Exterior Dimensions

Length: 210.10 inches
Body width without mirrors: 81.00 inches
Height: 76.50 inches
Wheelbase: 121 inches
Front/rear track width: 68.40/68.10 inches

Measure your garage opening and parking space, including room for mirrors and door access.

Exterior Highlights

Wheels: Standard 20-inch wheels on Elevation, AT4, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali; 24-inch wheels on Denali Ultimate
AT4 equipment: All-terrain tires, front skid plate, red recovery hooks, and high-approach-angle front fascia
Cargo access: Power programmable liftgate on Elevation; AutoSense Power Liftgate on the other trims
Mirrors and lighting: Standard heated, power-folding mirrors and LED headlights and taillights with animated lighting
Assist steps: Power-retractable steps with perimeter lighting standard on Ultimate trims and available on AT4 and Denali with required packages

The liftgate and steps make frequent loading and cabin entry more convenient. AT4 hardware supports rougher access routes, but ground conditions and the vehicle’s dimensions still deserve careful assessment.

Exterior Paint Options

Coastal Dune
Glacier White Tricoat
Titanium Rush Metallic
Summit White
Onyx Black
Volcanic Red Tintcoat
Sterling Metallic
Downpour Metallic

Coastal Dune is exclusive to AT4 trims, and Glacier White Tricoat is exclusive to Denali trims. Downpour Metallic is unavailable on AT4 trims. All listed paints except Summit White carry an extra charge.

2027 Yukon Performance

The Yukon offers three engines with different strengths. Its gasoline V8s provide two horsepower levels, while the diesel delivers the lineup’s highest torque output.

Engines and Powertrains

5.3-liter V8: 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque; standard on Elevation and AT4
6.2-liter V8: 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque; available on AT4 and standard on AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate
Duramax® 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-6: 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque; available on all trims, with package requirements on Elevation, AT4, and Denali

Compare engines against your passenger load and towing routine. Higher horsepower or torque does not automatically mean a higher trailer rating.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Transmission: Ten-speed automatic with every engine
Elevation and Denali: Rear-wheel drive or available four-wheel drive
AT4, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate: Standard four-wheel drive
Low-range hardware: Two-speed transfer case standard on AT4 trims and Denali Ultimate; available with Max Trailering Package on other 4WD configurations

Four-wheel drive provides traction on changing surfaces, while low-range gearing supports low-speed maneuvers.

Towing, Payload, and Capability

These 2027 Yukon trailer ratings distinguish rear-wheel drive from four-wheel drive:

5.3-liter V8: 7,900/7,700 pounds RWD/4WD; 8,400/8,200 pounds with Max Trailering Package
6.2-liter V8: 7,700/7,500 pounds RWD/4WD; 8,200/8,000 pounds with Max Trailering Package
Diesel: 8,100/7,900 pounds RWD/4WD, with or without Max Trailering Package

Published payload figures are 1,510/1,540 pounds for the 5.3-liter, 1,340/1,370 pounds for the 6.2-liter, and 1,440/1,380 pounds for the diesel, respectively. Use the specific vehicle’s loading label rather than treating these figures as a guarantee for every equipped example.

Passengers, cargo, and options reduce available trailer capacity. Account for tongue weight and required equipment before matching a camper or boat to your Yukon.

Driving Experience and Efficiency

Elevation: Premium Smooth Ride suspension
Other trims: Magnetic Ride Control
Ultimate trims: Air Ride Adaptive Suspension; also available on AT4 and Denali with applicable equipment

Try the wheel-and-suspension combination on roads similar to your commute. Consider engine choice alongside annual mileage and towing needs without assuming a universal fuel-economy result.

2027 Yukon Technology

The 2027 Yukon pairs a prominent central display with separate driver information and passenger connectivity. Its technology is useful when it simplifies navigation, charging, and entertainment for the whole cabin.

Displays and Infotainment

Center touchscreen: Standard 16.8-inch Premium GMC Infotainment System
Driver display: Standard 11-inch Driver Information Center
Integrated functions: Google built-in compatibility, navigation capability, natural voice recognition, and personalized profiles
Head-up display: 15-inch system standard on AT4 Ultimate and Denali trims; available on Elevation and AT4 through the Technology Package

Explore common controls while parked. Connected functions may require a service plan, and the head-up display can present selected information closer to your forward view.

Connectivity and Convenience

Phone integration: Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
Charging: Standard Wireless Phone Charging and third-row USB-C ports
Audio: Bose® 10-speaker system on Elevation, AT4, and Denali; 18 speakers on Ultimate trims
Executive upgrade: Denali Ultimate’s available Executive Second Row Seating Package includes 22-speaker Bose audio

Rear-row charging keeps passengers’ devices within reach. Check phone compatibility and service requirements instead of assuming every connected function works without a subscription.

2027 Yukon Safety

Yukon’s driver-assistance equipment addresses forward traffic, intersections, and low-speed surroundings. These systems support an attentive driver, not replace one.

Driver-Assistance Technology

Forward assistance: Standard Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
Intersection assistance: Standard Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
Traffic support: Standard Adaptive Cruise Control
Reversing assistance: Standard Rear Cross Traffic Braking and Reverse Automatic Braking

Super Cruise® is standard on AT4 Ultimate and Denali trims and available on Elevation and AT4 with required packages. Hands-free assistance requires compatible roads, driver attention, and an active plan or trial. It is not autonomous driving; electrical, cellular, and GPS requirements apply.

Parking, Visibility, and Vehicle Safety

Camera coverage: Standard HD Surround Vision and Surround Vision Recorder
Parking support: Standard Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist
Additional awareness: Standard Rear Pedestrian Alert, IntelliBeam automatic high beams, and Rear Seat Reminder

Camera views help evaluate parking clearance, while parking assistance supports detected spaces within its limits. Check surroundings directly and remain ready to take control.
