2010 gmc yukon hybrid review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Towing capacity, comfortable cruising for the whole gang. introductionfaced with rising gas prices and eco-protests, the market for full-size suvs has seen better times. But there are still occasions and uses when no other class of vehicle will get the job done. Often these occasions involve towing. The yukon shares the same basic full-size truck platform used for the chevy silverado 1500, avalanche, suburban and tahoe, as well as the yukon xl. for 2010, yukon gets more evolutionary updates including e85 compatibility on all 5. 3-liter engines, onstar 8. 2 with long-range remote start, active fuel management on the 6. 2-liter, a usb port and gearing changes. The gmc yukon lineup was completely redesigned for 2007. The yukon has three-row seating standard and can be configured for two to nine occupants. Seating in the first and second rows has plenty of room, but the third row is best left for kids and has to be removed for maximum cargo space. engine choices are all v8s. The 320-hp 5. 3-liter v8 and denali’s 403-hp 6. 2-liter v8 both have a system that shuts down half the cylinders under light loads to improve fuel economy. For better economy in daily driving look to the hybrid model which pairs a 6-liter gasoline v8 that switches off completely when not needed, and battery pack with dual electric motors inside the transmission to increase urban fuel economy by 25-30%. maximum tow rating ranges from 8100-8600 pounds on standard yukons to about 6000 on hybrid models. Most yukons can carry 1000-1300 pounds of passengers and cargo, which must be subtracted from allowable trailer weight. ride and handling characteristics are typical of large suvs. The yukon leans in turns and is not agile. The ride quality, on the other hand, is commendable, even with the denali's available 20-inch polished wheels that add a touch of high fashion trendiness. all-wheel drive models use autotrac, a system that can be engaged on dry pavement but does not repeal the laws of physics as some owners believe. Those who don't tow might be better served by a larger crossover like the gmc acadia, or an all-wheel drive minivan. in addition to the tahoe, the yukon is in the same class as the ford expedition, lincoln navigator, nissan armada, and toyota sequoia. It includes cloth upholstery; dual-zone manual climate control with rear controls; split front bench seat; six-way power driver's seat; 60/40 split-folding second-row bench seat; 50/50 split-fold third row; tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio controls; cruise control; intermittent wipers front/rear; power locks, windows and heated mirrors; remote keyless entry; side assist steps; am/fm/cd stereo with eight speakers; xm satellite radio; bluetooth; automatic headlights; theft-deterrent system; roof rails; front recovery hooks; trailer hitch platform with seven-wire harness; one year of onstar service; and p265/70r17 tires on alloy wheels. The sle 2 package 1560) adds three-zone climate control, power front bucket seats with console, and bose sound system in conjunction with other required options. yukon slt adds leather upholstery; three-zone automatic climate control; bose six-disc audio system; adjustable pedals; rear park assist; remote start; auto-dimming inside mirror; and universal garage door opener. Available only on denali is a side blind zone alert system 500). yukon hybrid 2wd 51,185) and 4wd 53,995) are well-equipped, slotting between slt2 and denali for features and amenities. However, the hybrid does come standard with a 6-liter v8 gas engine and electric drive system contained within the transmission that rate 332 hp and 367 lb-ft of torque, navigation system with rearview camera, locking rear differential, and p265/65r18 low-rolling resistance tires on alloy wheels. It does not have roof rails, fog lamps, tow hooks, or a separately-opening glass on the liftgate. Hybrid mechanicals are warranted for 8 years or 100,000 miles. yukon denali hybrid 2wd 58,500) and 4wd 61,345) feature denali trim with the hybrid powertrain. Options are limited to a spare tire/wheel 995), moonroof 995), rear entertainment 1295) and blind zone alert 500). options include 20-inch wheels 1795); three-zone climate control 195); and audio and entertainment system upgrades. More choices include a moonroof 995); retractable side steps 1095); trailer brake controller 200); rear dvd entertainment 1295); z71 off-road package 1830); second-row bucket seats 490 plus $425 for power release) and engine block heater 75). Optional are rearview cameras, rear park assist, and denali’s side blind zone alert. walkaroundthe gmc yukon and yukon denali feature clean lines with quiet, calm surface planes that minimize the sheer bulk. Tight tolerances between body panels and a thud closing a door invite comparison with other suvs. the one-piece front end presents a friendly, welcoming face but without forfeiting the yukon's presence. The trademark grille with ruby-red logo and lower air intake ensure plenty of engine cooling. door handles bridging deep recesses make for easy gripping in all seasons. Squared-off wheelwells carry forward a yukon signature styling cue. The independently hinged rear window is a nice touch, permitting easy loading of grocery bags and such. the yukon hybrid has several styling cues that distinguish it from the other models. The upper grille is expanded while the lower is smaller and openings that would house fog lights and tow hooks are blocked off. Along the sides, the running boards are reshaped for improved aerodynamics and the wheel flares are slightly reshaped. At the back, the rear pillars, spoiler and center high-mounted stoplight have a unique shape, the tailgate is made of aluminum and has fixed glass, and led taillights replace the standard bulbs. The wheels are more aero efficient and the tires have lower rolling resistance. The spare tire and jack have been replaced by a tire inflation kit; a spare is optional. The result is a slightly better coefficient of drag to help improve fuel economy, if only by small amounts. interiorthe yukon interior design is clean and uncluttered. Elegantly simple, the instrument panel and center stack would look right at home in a luxury suv. The denali is richer still, with a wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel and darker wood trim than the other models. we think the yukon dashboard is a friendlier, slicker and more integrated assemblage of gauges, display screens, touch pads and co.
