2011 Yukon and Yukon XL Family Offers Exceptional Capability, Comfort and Refinement
Middle East – The 2011 editions of the Yukon and Yukon XL offer distinctive styling, spacious and refined interiors, exceptional driving characteristics and segment-leading safety features – including standard head curtain side air bags for all seating rows on all models. With a deserved reputation for its dedication to safety, the Yukon raises the bar even higher in 2011.
Yukon Denali and Yukon XL Denali return this year equipped with additional style, technologies and luxury features that have made these models so popular. Yukon Denali not only provides customers with the ultimate in SUV luxury, but also gives them supreme levels of fuel efficiency.
Yukon provides a smooth, confident and secure driving experience, with its 2,946 mm wheelbase, overall length of 5,130 mm and wide track that complements the long wheelbase. Yukon XL models have exterior dimensions similar to the regular models, but are about 14 inches longer in wheelbase and 20 inches more in overall length. Both Yukon and Yukon XL are available in SLE (cloth trim) and SLT trim (leather appointments), as well as 2WD and 4WD configurations. Yukon XL offers a three-quarter-ton model. A third-row seat is standard on all Yukon models.
For improved fuel economy, Yukon and Yukon XL models feature a 5.3L V-8 with GM’s fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology. The 5.3L and 6.2L engines are capable of running on E85; in fact, all Yukon 4WD and Yukon XL half-ton models come standard with the E85-capable version of the 5.3L V-8. GM vehicles with E85 capability can run on 100-percent gasoline, E85 or any combination of the two.
“The Yukon, Yukon Denali and their XL variants feature distinctive styling and spacious, refined interiors that make them one of the most respected vehicles in its segment,” said Luay Alshurafa, regional brand manager for GMC in the Middle East. “No other full-size SUV can compete with the Denali’s levels of ride, handling and comfort,” he concluded.
