2026 GMC Yukon XL — Full-Size SUV Luxury at Kunes GMC of Belvidere

The all-new 2026 GMC Yukon XL has officially arrived at Kunes GMC of Belvidere, bringing more space, power, and refinement than ever before. As GMC’s largest SUV, the Yukon XL is built for families, adventurers, and anyone who needs serious room without sacrificing luxury or capability.

Let’s explore what makes the 2026 Yukon XL such an impressive addition to the full-size SUV class — and why it’s the perfect fit for Belvidere-area drivers.

The Yukon XL stretches over 225 inches in length, making it one of the largest SUVs in its segment. That extended wheelbase pays off in real-world comfort and cargo space: there’s ample room for passengers in all three rows, including adults in the third. Behind the third row, you’ll still find massive storage space for luggage, sports gear, or groceries — and with the seats folded down, the XL opens up to near-cargo-van capacity.

Inside, every detail is designed for comfort and versatility. You can configure the cabin for up to eight passengers, or choose second-row captain’s chairs for easier access and premium appeal. Soft-touch materials, bold design cues, and a commanding view of the road make every drive enjoyable, whether you’re on I-90 or heading north toward the Wisconsin border.

GMC offers multiple powertrain options for the 2026 Yukon XL, including the proven 5.3-liter V8 and an available 6.2-liter V8 for drivers who want maximum performance. Both engines pair with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, providing confident acceleration and excellent towing control.

If efficiency and torque are top priorities, the available 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel delivers strong pulling power and impressive highway range — perfect for long family trips or hauling heavy trailers. Depending on configuration, the Yukon XL can tow well over 8,000 pounds when properly equipped, giving you plenty of capability for boats, campers, or work equipment.

Available four-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension ensure the Yukon XL remains composed and comfortable, whether you’re driving through downtown Belvidere, on rough rural roads, or during snowy Midwest winters.

Step inside the 2026 Yukon XL, and you’ll find a high-tech environment that makes every journey effortless. A large, intuitive infotainment screen anchors the dashboard, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Multiple USB ports, available wireless charging, and built-in Wi-Fi keep passengers connected no matter how long the drive.

Luxury touches are everywhere — from premium leather seating in upper trims to ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, and advanced noise-reduction materials for a quiet, refined cabin experience. GMC’s Denali and Denali Ultimate trims elevate the experience even further with exclusive design elements, a premium sound system, and high-grade finishes that rival luxury brands.

GMC continues its commitment to safety with an array of standard and available driver-assistance technologies. The 2026 Yukon XL includes features like automatic emergency braking, forward-collision alert, lane-keep assist, and blind-zone monitoring.

For those who spend long hours behind the wheel, available Super Cruise® technology allows hands-free driving on compatible highways, taking comfort and confidence to another level. Combined with the SUV’s commanding visibility and solid structure, these systems make the Yukon XL one of the safest and most reassuring vehicles in its class.

The 2026 Yukon XL lineup includes multiple trims — from the capable SLE and SLT models to the adventurous AT4 and luxurious Denali and Denali Ultimate. Each trim offers a unique personality, whether you prioritize rugged off-road ability, sophisticated styling, or maximum comfort.

Pricing starts in the low-$70,000 range and scales with options, engines, and equipment packages. No matter which version you choose, every Yukon XL delivers the same hallmark blend of space, power, and GMC craftsmanship.
