The 2027 GMC Yukon now includes Surround Vision Recorder as standard equipment across all trims, a meaningful upgrade from the prior year. The 5.3L V8 delivers 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, with towing capacity reaching 8,400 lbs when properly equipped. This page covers every trim, powertrain, and feature update so you can compare options before visiting Greg Hubler Buick GMC inventory.
The headline addition for 2027 is Surround Vision Recorder becoming standard on every Yukon trim. This system records footage from the vehicle’s surround cameras while the Yukon is running, saves video to a USB drive in 2-hour loops, and automatically captures footage to the recordings app any time the vehicle alarm triggers for 30 seconds or more.
Beyond that, GMC introduced Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking and Blind Zone Steering Assist as part of the safety package for 2027. The infotainment system grows to a 16.8-inch diagonal touchscreen with Google built-in, and the Driver Information Center measures 11 inches diagonal. Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology is now included as standard equipment on the Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate trims, each paired with a 3-year OnStar One plan.
Shoppers comparing the 2027 model against a 2026 Yukon will find the most tangible differences in the safety and camera suite, the larger infotainment display, and the standardization of Super Cruise on three trim levels.
The 2027 Yukon is offered in five trims. Each level adds meaningfully to the one below it rather than simply shuffling options.
Elevation is the entry point. It includes the 5.3L V8, a 10-speed automatic transmission, HD Surround Vision, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated second-row outboard seats with power-release. The 20-inch machined and painted Satin Graphite wheels and a distinctive grille give the Elevation a clean, modern stance.
AT4 shifts the Yukon toward off-road readiness. The high-approach-angle front fascia comes with a skid plate and red recovery hooks. Magnetic Ride Control, heated and ventilated front seats in perforated leather, and 20-inch Carbon Flash Metallic wheels with all-terrain tires are all standard here.
Denali moves the vehicle into the luxury lane. The 6.2L V8 is standard on Denali, joined by Super Cruise, Magnetic Ride Control, a multicolor 15-inch diagonal Head-Up Display, and a power-sliding center console. The chrome grille and assist steps distinguish it visually.
AT4 Ultimate blends off-road credentials with premium materials. Full-grain Obsidian Rush leather seats with AT4 Ultimate badging, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, 16-way power front seats with a massage feature, and Super Cruise are all standard. The 6.2L V8 powers this trim as well.
Denali Ultimate is the top expression of the Yukon. It pairs Super Cruise and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension with 24-inch selective machined and painted After Midnight Metallic aluminum wheels, 16-way power front seats with massage, a Bose 18-speaker sound system, available second-row executive captain’s chairs with integrated head-restraint speakers, and a Vader Chrome grille with power-retractable assist steps and perimeter lighting.
The standard 5.3L V8 EcoTec3 produces 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard; four-wheel drive is available across trims. EPA fuel economy for the 5.3L V8 in RWD configuration is 15 city / 20 highway / 17 combined.
Two powertrain upgrades are available. The 6.2L V8 EcoTec3 is standard on Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate, providing additional output for buyers who prioritize acceleration and higher tow ratings. The Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel is also available for buyers who want maximum torque for towing while stretching fuel range on longer hauls.
Maximum towing capacity reaches 8,400 lbs when properly equipped. Payload capacity is 1,510 lbs. Ground clearance of 7.8 inches supports off-road capability on the AT4 and AT4 Ultimate.
Air Ride Adaptive Suspension is available on AT4 Ultimate and standard on Denali Ultimate, automatically adjusting ride height to match driving conditions.
The Yukon seats up to 8 passengers with the standard second-row bench. Choosing available second-row captain’s chairs reduces capacity to 7 but adds comfort and easier third-row access.
Cargo flexibility is a practical strength. Behind the third row, the Yukon offers 25.5 cubic feet. Fold the third row and that grows to 72.5 cubic feet. With all rear rows folded, maximum cargo volume reaches 122.8 cubic feet.
Interior materials step up with each trim. Elevation delivers heated leather-appointed front and second-row seating. AT4 adds ventilated front seats in perforated leather with Forest Storm and Mahogany accents. Denali uses perforated leather throughout the front row and heated second-row outboard seats. AT4 Ultimate’s Obsidian Rush full-grain leather with red stitching and AT4 Ultimate badging is among the most distinctive interiors in the full-size SUV segment. Denali Ultimate offers available second-row executive seating with heated and ventilated captain’s chairs, a massage feature, 14-way power adjustment, and stainless steel Bose head-restraint speakers.
The available panoramic sunroof includes a power sunshade. An available AutoSense power liftgate opens hands-free when the key fob is detected.
The 16.8-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in is the centerpiece of the cabin. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is wireless smartphone charging, Bluetooth, satellite radio, voice recognition, and USB connectivity.
The Driver Information Center measures 11 inches diagonal. Denali adds a multicolor 15-inch diagonal Head-Up Display that projects key driving information onto the windshield.
The Bose 10-speaker sound system is standard equipment. Denali Ultimate upgrades to an 18-speaker Bose system with head-restraint-integrated speakers in the second row.
An available rear-seat media system adds dual 12.6-inch diagonal color-touch LCD screens on the back of the center console, with Bluetooth headphone compatibility and two HDMI ports. This feature suits Marion families who travel with children and want independent entertainment options.
Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology is available on Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate. On compatible roads, Super Cruise manages steering, acceleration, and braking without requiring the driver’s hands on the wheel.
OnStar core features are included for 8 years and cover remote commands, Automatic Crash Response, and select audio streaming apps from the center display.
Every 2027 Yukon carries a substantial standard safety suite. Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking activates at speeds above 2 mph to help reduce collision severity. Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking addresses cross-traffic situations at intersections. Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking operates between 5 and 50 mph.
Blind-Spot Alert and Blind Zone Steering Assist work together: the alert signals when a vehicle is detected in the adjacent lane, and Blind Zone Steering Assist can apply brief steering input when the driver initiates a lane change toward a detected vehicle. A Lane Departure Warning System and Collision Warning System are also standard.
The Safety Alert Seat notifies the driver through seat vibration rather than relying solely on audible alerts. HD Surround Vision provides selectable camera views around the vehicle to support parking. Rear View Camera, Child Door Locks, and LATCH anchors are all standard.
Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist is available and can automatically steer, brake, and shift into parallel or perpendicular spaces.
IntelliBeam automatically toggles high beams above 25 mph based on surrounding traffic.
The 2027 Yukon is the stronger buy over the prior model year for two specific reasons. Surround Vision Recorder is now standard rather than optional, and Super Cruise is bundled as standard on three trims rather than being sold as an add-on. Buyers who were on the fence about the prior Denali because Super Cruise was extra now get it included.
Families who need genuine 8-passenger capacity with real third-row usability, towing up to 8,400 lbs, and a choice between a performance-oriented AT4 or a luxury-focused Denali will find the 2027 Yukon covers all of those needs in a single platform. Buyers in Marion and throughout central Indiana who cross-shop the Yukon against competitive full-size SUVs should note the 16.8-inch infotainment screen and the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension availability as differentiators at the upper trims.
The Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel remains a standout option for anyone who tows regularly and wants more range between fuel stops.
