2027 GMC Yukon: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features

What's New for 2027
The headline addition for the 2027 Yukon is standard Surround Vision Recorder on every trim. This system lets you record, view, and save footage from the Yukon's surround cameras while the vehicle is running, storing video in 2-hour loops to a USB drive. A Security Recording mode also activates automatically if the vehicle alarm triggers for 30 seconds, saving that footage to an onboard app.
Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking joins the safety suite, adding the ability to detect cross-traffic vehicles at intersections and apply emergency braking when a collision risk is identified. Blind Zone Steering Assist also appears in the 2027 lineup, providing a brief steering correction when a potential lane-change conflict is detected.
The Elevation trim now comes standard with second-row outboard heated seats, and the Denali trim moves Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology to standard equipment rather than packaging it as an option.

Trim Lineup
The 2027 Yukon offers five trims, spanning two distinct character lines: the Elevation and Denali luxury line, and the AT4 off-road line.
Elevation
Elevation is the entry point, and it arrives well-equipped. Standard features include the 5.3L V8, HD Surround Vision, heated front seats with a heated steering wheel, second-row outboard heated seats, power-folding third-row seats, LED headlamps with animated lighting, a 16.8-inch infotainment screen, a Bose 10-speaker system, and wireless smartphone charging. The Elevation Black Package and Elevation Appearance Package add blacked-out styling details for buyers who want a more aggressive look.
AT4
AT4 steps up the off-road capability with a high-approach-angle front fascia, a skid plate, red recovery hooks, 20-inch Carbon Flash Metallic wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, Magnetic Ride Control, an AutoSense Power Liftgate, and heated and ventilated front perforated leather seats. The AT4 Premium Package adds Super Cruise and a panoramic sunroof.
Denali
Denali pivots to luxury. It adds the 6.2L V8 as standard, along with Super Cruise, now standard on this trim, Magnetic Ride Control, a multicolor 15-inch Head-Up Display, a power-sliding center console, full-grain leather second-row seats, and 20-inch wheels in a Pearl Nickel finish.
AT4 Ultimate
AT4 Ultimate merges off-road hardware with premium comfort. It carries the 6.2L V8, Super Cruise, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, Obsidian Rush full-grain leather seating with AT4 Ultimate badging, 16-way power front seats with a massage feature, a 15-inch Head-Up Display, a rear-seat media system, and an 18-speaker Bose sound system.

Performance & Powertrain
The standard engine is the 5.3L V8 EcoTec3, producing 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel drive available.

Maximum towing reaches 8,400 lbs, and payload capacity is rated at 1,510 lbs. The Max Trailering Package, available on select trims, adds Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, Hitch View, a trailer brake controller, and an extra-capacity cooling system.

Ground clearance stands at 7.8 inches. The AT4 and AT4 Ultimate add Magnetic Ride Control as standard, while AT4 Ultimate and Denali Ultimate include Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, which adjusts ride height automatically based on driving conditions.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The 2027 Yukon seats up to 8 passengers across three rows. The body measures 210.1 inches in length and 76.5 inches in height, giving it a commanding footprint that translates to genuine usable space inside.
Cargo flexibility is a strength. Behind the third row, the Yukon offers 25.5 cu ft of space. Fold the third row and that grows to 72.5 cu ft. With all rear seats configured for maximum storage, total cargo volume reaches 122.8 cu ft.
Interior materials step up considerably as you move through the trim levels. Elevation features leather-appointed seats. AT4 uses perforated leather in Forest Storm with Mahogany accents. Denali brings full-grain leather to the second row. AT4 Ultimate uses Obsidian Rush full-grain leather with red accent stitching. Denali Ultimate's Woodland Mahogany interior with full-grain leather throughout sets a high standard for the full-size SUV segment.
The available panoramic sunroof includes a power sunshade and fits multiple trim configurations. The power-sliding center console, available from Denali upward, accommodates both bench and captain's chair second-row configurations.
Technology & Infotainment
Every 2027 Yukon carries a 16.8-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google built-in and voice-activated controls. The 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center sits in the instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with wireless smartphone charging, Bluetooth, satellite radio, USB ports, and remote engine start.
A 15-inch multicolor Head-Up Display is standard on Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate, and available on lower trims through packages. The available rear-seat media system features dual 12.6-inch LCD touchscreens with Bluetooth headphone compatibility and two HDMI ports on the back of the center console, useful for longer drives across Minnesota and beyond.
The Surround Vision Recorder, now standard for 2027, works alongside HD Surround Vision to provide up to 10 selectable camera views. OnStar core features are included for 8 years.
Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology is standard on Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate. It handles steering, acceleration, and braking on compatible roads, allowing true hands-free driving when conditions allow.

2027 GMC Yukon safety technology overview
Who It's For / vs the Prior Year
Shoppers who prioritized the 2026 Yukon for its size and towing will find the 2027 adds meaningful technology improvements without reworking a formula that already worked. The standardization of Surround Vision Recorder, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, and Blind Zone Steering Assist makes the base Elevation a more complete package than before. Denali buyers gain Super Cruise as standard equipment rather than needing to select a package to get it.
The Yukon suits buyers who need genuine third-row utility and full-size towing in a single vehicle. Families in Austin, MN who regularly pull boats, trailers, or campers will find the 8,400-lb tow rating practical, and the 122.8 cu ft of max cargo volume handles the equipment loads that come with Minnesota's recreational seasons. The AT4 and AT4 Ultimate trims layer off-road hardware on top of that capability for buyers who take their Yukon beyond paved roads.
If the 2026 Yukon's infotainment or safety suite gave you pause, the 2027 addresses both.
