What is the difference between the 2022 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL — is the XL worth the premium in Canada?
The 2022 GMC Yukon XL is the extended-wheelbase version of the standard Yukon, measuring 5,769 mm in total length versus 5,179 mm for the regular Yukon. The additional length primarily benefits cargo space behind the third row: the Yukon XL offers 1,290 litres versus only 490 litres for the standard Yukon. For Canadian families traveling with substantial gear — ski equipment, camping supplies, or team sports gear — the XL is often indispensable. The Yukon XL SLE AWD starts at approximately $62,498 versus $58,498 for the Yukon SLE AWD — roughly a $4,000 difference depending on trim. For city driving, the XL's length can make parking more challenging in dense urban areas like Montreal or Vancouver, but in suburban or rural areas the extra cargo space and the genuinely usable third row fully justify the price premium.
