2015 GMC Yukon

The GMC Yukon was brought to the automotive marketplace for the 1999 model year under the Denali nameplate. The GMC Yukon has seen various revisions, changes, and facelifts since it first entered the market, the Yukon has kept up with changing times and driver tastes. Closely related to the Chevrolet Tahoe, the two GMC vehicles share similar qualities and styling. 

The Yukon has received a complete redesign for the 2015 model year. The full-size SUV has more new features, updated in-vehicle technology, and more power than ever before. The Yukon is a full-size SUV with seating for up to nine passengers, and still enough room to accommodate personal items - thanks to the Yukon’s practical interior seating and storage innovation.

Enough Room for 9 Passengers and Plenty of Extra Space

Thanks to the innovative interior cabin space, the 2015 GMC Yukon not only has enough seating for up to nine passengers, but it also includes plenty of storage space for belongings. The Yukon is a full-size SUV, and has a full-size capacity for people and cargo.

Where most SUVs can fit a large number of people, they do so in a cramped and uncomfortable way. Yukon passengers will feel comfortable, with plenty of space thanks to the smart-design and expert engineering of the large SUV. 

New for 2015, the Yukon features third-row fold-flat bench seats, that go down even easier with the available power-folding feature. Other standard storage features included on the Yukon are:

Second-Row Seats

Featuring a segment exclusive power release fold-and-tumble technology, this second row of seats is easily stored away. This great feature comes standard on the SLT model.

Storage Solutions

A lit storage compartment is hidden behind the 8-inch diagonal color touch radio screen, keeping valuable stowed away, and out of sight. The center console on the Yukon is large enough to fit a laptop, or even a row of hanging folders.

Practical Seating Options

Drivers can opt for an available front bench seat on SLE models, and can also choose bucket seats for the second row, rather than the standard bench. Drivers and front seat passengers will also stay comfortable with heated and cooled seating. Second row passengers will stay toasty warm in cold weather, thanks to standard heated seats on SLT models of the 2015 Yukon.
