A larger and more powerful 6.2 liter V8 engine that puts out 403 horsepower is available for both the Yukon XL and Yukon Denali. Those who plan on doing a lot of towing or hauling should consider the more powerful engine, which is capable of towing up to 8,600 pounds when properly equipped. Despite its overall size, the Yukon handles relatively well, especially on back roads.
With fuel prices remaining a top concern among consumers, GMC also offers a Hybrid model. It offers performance that is on par with the base-engine Yukon, but it gets up to 23 miles per gallon as opposed to 15 – 21 miles per gallon in other models thanks to an efficient engine that combines gasoline and battery power to minimize fuel consumption. The Hybrid Denali can haul up to 5,000 pounds. The 2012 GMC Yukon is available in both two wheel and four wheel drive models. The Denali also comes in an all wheel drive model.
