There are a lot of people out there today that are trying to find the right car for them, then it will have to be the nice sporty, sleek and utility vehicle then it is got to be the GMC Yukon 2011 that is the car for them.
The new Yukon SUV 2011 model is going to be a great car; it will come with both a long and a short wheelbase configuration. This will also mean that the car can come with a few different power trains also which is good to have with this Yukon and the hybrid can actually managed to deliver almost twenty miles per gallon.
There might even be the Denali trim available for the Yukon; however with the hybrid model, the manufacturer has made sure that this will have a two mode hybrid system in place so that the car can now offer almost fifty percent more miles per gallon. If that was to be compared to any gas operated Yukon cars and everyone will see that this is better than the rest.
For this Yukon there will be either a four wheel drive or the all wheel drive to choose from which means that this can handle a massive nine thousand and six hundred pounds that it can tow.
The SUV is going to have a choice over the V-8 engines to choose from; the horsepower for these could reach anywhere from three hundred and twenty five to three hundred and seventy six. However with this Yukon, it will mean that there is only a six speed automatic transmission available and no manual which might be an issue for some.
There is going to be newer colors to choose from for the body work with a carbon black and a mocha steel metallic tone. The OnStar system has been upgraded to the 9.0 version also included.
The Yukon will have three different rows of seating however and the wheelbase will be increased to fourteen inches bigger but that means the car is going to be roomier especially for the legs.
The Denali trim can really make the style of the car to be absolutely perfect; this is going to come in the full size SUV body style along with the six speed automatic transmission. The models of the car come in the Yukon Denali Hybrid, the XL 2500, the Hybrid, the XL 1500, the XL Denali, the Denali and the Yukon. The engine types are the three V-8’s, the 6.2 liter, the 6.0 liter and the 5.3 liter also.
The full size SUV is really something like a carryover from the previous model which is going to have the base Yukon and then the extended wheelbase XL. When the Denali trim is chosen, then this is going to have the expensive sheet metal and few more extras inside.
The hybrid can provide some extra mileage however though with the interior with the Yukon, it really will look like a traditional SUV. That is because this has a bold front end, some models of this car will come with a chrome grille however but the fender looks better and adds a touch more style and class to the Yukon.
The interior is very classy however, there are three rows of seating but there is a chance in which there could be nine passengers able to sit comfortably in this car. The third row however can be folded down if any more space is needed to transport cargo.
This will come with a V-8 5.3 liter engine as well as a 6.2 and 6.0 liter engine also both are a V-8 engine though there is the solid six speed Hydra-Matic transmission. The steering is good however and the suspension five links is good also but the design is also good to help the shock absorbers take any road condition well.
With the safety features of this Yukon then there are quite a few features with the reliable airbags including the head curtains for all three rows of passengers. The front seat belt pre-tensioners link up with the sensing system. That helps to cut the amount of injuries along with the StabiliTrak.
