The 2012 GMC Yukon is part of the model's third generation, a full-size SUV that comes in three trims: SLE, SLT, and Denali. Under the hood, the standard engine is a 5.3-liter V8 producing 320 horsepower, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Higher trims can opt for a 6.2-liter V8 producing 403 horsepower. The Yukon comes in both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations. Standard infotainment features include a 9-speaker sound system and Bluetooth for phone connectivity. In terms of safety, the 2012 Yukon boasts stability control, ABS, front side airbags, and full-length curtain-type airbags. The upscale Denali trim adds advanced features like a navigation system and a rear-view camera. Styling aspects remained largely unchanged from 2011, but some tech and comfort upgrades were introduced for the 2012 model year.
