2016 Yukon XL 1500 SLT Need a big family vehicle? My Yukon is a beast. This large SUV has a rugged body-on-frame construction and V8 power. The touchscreen interface gets Apple CarPlay and all the tech features you’ll need. Newly available features include lane-keeping assist and automatic high-beam headlights, along with a standard hands-free power liftgate on SLT models and a capless fuel filler. She comes with a 5.3-liter V8 engine that generates 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. Safety feature include antilock disc brakes, traction control, stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. A center airbag located between the front bucket seats (when so equipped) aids in side-impact crashes. Also standard is OnStar, which includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, remote door unlocking, stolen vehicle assistance and turn-by-turn navigation. Front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera are standard on every Yukon. Available safety equipment includes forward collision alert with auto-braking, lane-departure warning and lane keeping assist, a vibrating safety alert seat, rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring. The passenger cabin of the GMC Yukon is both attractive and of a high quality. Gauges and controls are easy to read and access, while the large IntelliLink central display operates intuitively. Up front, seats are comfortable and supportive. Mid row seats make getting in and out of the third-row seat a good bit easier.
