2021 GMC Yukon Mobile Auto Canada Overview

 

Overview

GMC has redesigned their Yukon full-size SUV line up for 2021, like the prior four generations, the 2021 GMC Yukon and extended-wheelbase Yukon XL share as much as they can with the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. However, GMC has successfully differentiated the conservatively styled 2021 Yukon from the edgy Tahoe, Suburban and blocky Escalade, especially in the SUV’s AT4 trim. The updated Yukon Denali takes things a step further, sporting both distinctive sheet metal and a trim-specific dashboard, leaving the AT4 and the rest of the Yukon line to essentially share a cabin design with the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban.

What’s New in the 2021 GMC Yukon?

The GMC Yukon boasts a new infotainment system, more standard driver-assistance features, a much larger cargo hold, an additional 2 inches of third-row legroom, and revamped exterior and interior styling.

Exterior

With the new design for 2021, we expect a significant change from the previous model. GMC has brought big difference with the newly redesigned 2021 Yukon making it very similar to the redesigned exterior they have offered on the Sierra starting in 2019. A set of 22-inch aluminium wheels comes with the Denali’s Ultimate Package, and they add significant presence to a design that already commands your attention.

Interior

The 2021 GMC Yukon features two different interior designs, one interior design is exclusively for Denali and other design for AT4 and lower trim levels. The most significant difference between the two interior designs is the infotainment system screen placement. We will show you the difference below.

 

GMC gives the Yukon Denali an exclusive dashboard design. It looks more upscale and sophisticated and features a two-tone color treatment trimmed and accented with real wood and genuine aluminium. Perforated leather with unique stitching completes the luxurious appearance.

Infotainment System

All trim levels come with a standard 10.2-inch touchscreen display with high-resolution and quick response screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone projection, Amazon Alexa integration, and satellite radio are standard equipment. The system is ready for Wi-Fi and other connected services as long as you pay a subscription. The voice recognition system can also accurately respond to all prompts with low delay time.

Denali trim level also includes a standard navigation system, a full-color 15-inch heads-up display and a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series premium sound system.

As part of the Ultimate Package, the test vehicle included GM’s new Rear Seat Media system offering dual 10.6-inch touchscreen displays. Passengers can connect a gaming system, laptop, tablet, or smartphone via HDMI and USB inputs. The new Rear Seat Media system also supports wireless to connect wireless headphones and other accessories.

Suspension

The Yukon also gets an independent rear suspension for the first time. When purchasing a Yukon AT4 or Denali trim levels, Buyer can upgrade the suspension to GM’s new Air Ride adaptive suspension system. The electromagnetic dampers with air springs, the latest tech blends the system’s MagneRide dampers’ ability to rapidly adapt to various road and drive conditions with the air suspension’s variable ride height and load-levelling capability to improve the utility further.
