The Yukon was the alternative offered by GMC for those families who needed something between Chevrolet Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade.
With its huge experience in building large SUVs and pickups, GMC offered the Yukon a very wide choice of trims and options. It could have been offered as a basic, six-passenger vehicle with minimal features, with luxurious features in the form of Denali, or as a hybrid vehicle. It was the large SUV that could suit most needs on that market segment.
The 2008 Yukon showed a completely new front fascia compared to its predecessor, with one-piece headlamps and a broad mesh-grille between them. The Hybrid version featured a unique, slatted one to distinguish it from its siblings. GMC installed a smaller additional grille on the front apron between the fog-lights. On the sides, depending on the options, the carmaker installed side steps for easier ingress and egress from the car. In the back, the big tailgate was opened in one piece for the Hybrid or with a twin system that allowed the user to open only the glass area for the rest of the range.
With the proper trim level, the Yukon's interior could have been mistaken with a premium vehicle. GMC offered-it with cloth upholstery for the base versions, but on the Denali trim-level, the customers could find leather-wrapped seats, wood-trims on the dash and door panels, power-operated second-row seats, and a touch-screen navigation system. The last row could have been removed in the seven-seat configuration and left behind if someone would need a larger trunk.
The Tahoe featured the best-in-class fuel economy due to its cylinder deactivation system. Despite the fact that a 6.0-liter V8 powered its hybrid version, the Yukon could get a 10.2 l/100 km (23 mpg-US) on the highway.
