What engines does the 2024 GMC Yukon offer and which is the best choice for everyday family use?
The 2024 GMC Yukon is available with three powertrains in Canada: the EcoTec3 5.3L V8 (355 hp, 383 lb-ft), the EcoTec3 6.2L V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft, available on Denali), and the Duramax 3.0L inline-six diesel (277 hp, 460 lb-ft). For everyday family use combining city school runs and weekend highway trips, the 5.3L V8 is the best all-around option — included in SLE, SLT, AT4, and base Denali trims, with Dynamic Fuel Management helping contain consumption. The diesel is recommended for drivers covering more than 25,000 km annually or doing regular long-haul trips; fuel economy savings compensate for the option premium after approximately 80,000 km of mixed driving at current Canadian diesel prices.
