You may have noticed a new choice when you’re shopping for a three-row SUV. The GMC Yukon XL is a bigger version of the tried-and-true Yukon for people who really need the extra space. Let’s take a look at the differences between the two models and how they stack up.
While both SUVs can accommodate up to eight passengers, the true difference between the two starts with the overall length. The 2024 Yukon is 210 inches long, while the XL is 225.2 inches long. That means with the Yukon XL, you’re also getting a longer wheelbase (120.9 inches for the Yukon vs. 134.1 inches for the XL model), and you’re getting a ton of extra cargo space.
The Yukon XL offers 41.5 cubic feet of storage behind the third row. With a folded third row, there’s 93.8 cubic feet of space. With a folded second row, there’s an astounding 144.7 cubic feet of storage space in the XL.
The regular Yukon is no slouch either, posting 25.5 cubic feet of space behind the third row and 72.6 cubic feet of space with the third row folded down. At its maximum, the regular Yukon has 122.9 cubic feet of total cargo space available.
There’s one more small detail, but it might make all the difference for some buyers with large families: The third row of the Yukon XL has nearly 2 inches more legroom than the Yukon. That space may not sound like much, but if you’ve got a growing family, it can be incredibly valuable.
