It also enables drivers to lift the chassis an additional two inches\u00a0for extreme off-roading. That will be most useful in the AT4 trim, which has skid plates for rock protection. Once back on the road, the air-ride suspension will self-level for best aerodynamics.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-position-61\" class=\"partner-placement partner-spike partner-placement-visible\" data-ad-placement=\"native-article_link\" data-ad-sizes=\"[&quot;fluid&quot;,[3,3], [2,6]]\" data-monetization-id=\"native-article_link\" data-monetization-sizes=\"fluid,3,3,2,6\">Front-seat passengers aren\u2019t the only ones to benefit as the second-row seats can slide up to 5\u00bd inches for additional leg room.<\/div>\n<p class=\"p-text\">The Yukon will be motivated by GM\u2019s familiar 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V-8 engines, also found in the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban that GM rolled out late last year. The\u00a06.2-liter\u00a0 delivers\u00a0a class-best 420 horsepower paired with a standard 10-speed transmission. For the first time, the Yukon will be available with a 3.0-liter, inline-6 cylinder turbodiesel that&#8217;s less thirsty.<\/p>\n<div id=\"module-position-SZ_Ya5USvYg\" class=\"story-asset image-asset\">\n<aside class=\"wide single-photo\"><div align=\"left\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2020\/01\/15\/PDTN\/bb8d168d-0147-4c03-88d8-2c5c3d602750-2021-GMC-YukonXL-Denali-100.jpg?width=540&amp;height=&amp;fit=bounds&amp;auto=webp\" alt=\"The 2021 GMC Yukon XL Denali.\" width=\"540\" data-mycapture-src=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2020\/01\/15\/PDTN\/bb8d168d-0147-4c03-88d8-2c5c3d602750-2021-GMC-YukonXL-Denali-100.jpg\" data-mycapture-sm-src=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2020\/01\/15\/PDTN\/bb8d168d-0147-4c03-88d8-2c5c3d602750-2021-GMC-YukonXL-Denali-100.jpg\" \/>The 2021 GMC Yukon XL Denali.\u00a0<span class=\"credit\">(Photo: GM)<\/span><\/aside>\n<\/div><div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p-text\">The Yukon is distinguished by a huge, meaty grille sandwiched by signature LED C-clamp headlamps.
