2024 Yukon MPG – Gas Mileage Guide

With their capacity to accommodate up to eight people and ample cargo volumes, full-size SUVs are becoming increasingly popular among growing families and outdoors enthusiasts. If you’re a car buyer in either demographic, you’ve probably come across the GMC Yukon searching for a vehicle that satisfies your lifestyle needs. This SUV has been a top performer for GMC, consistently ranking as one of its best-selling models thanks to the Yukon’s enticing features.

If the GMC Yukon is on your radar, you may want to know why it’s a strong competitor in the full-size SUV segment. Our team at Meadowland GMC in Carmel, New York, put together this guide to the 2024 GMC Yukon, including its fuel efficiency, specifications, and unique characteristics, to help you understand.

2024 GMC Yukon Powertrain and Drivetrain Options

Every 2024 GMC Yukon has a standard rear-wheel drive (RWD) and offers a four-wheel drive (4WD), except for the AT4 model, which comes in a 4WD configuration. Your choice of powertrains depends on the trim level and includes the following three options:

• The 5.3-liter V-8: This engine, standard on the SLE, SLT, and AT4, generates 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds.
• The 6.2-liter V-8: The Denali and Denali Ultimate feature this 420-horsepower engine with 460 lb-ft of torque, which will take you from zero to 60 mph in 6 seconds.
• The 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6: This engine is available on all trims except the AT4, offering 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque to get you from zero to 60 mph in 8 seconds.

2024 GMC Yukon Fuel Efficiency

While full-size SUVs generally have lower fuel efficiency than smaller ones, some models return decent mileage. The 2024 GMC Yukon is one of them if you opt for the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6 engine. With this powertrain and RWD, you’ll get an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 23 mpg combined, and you can expect to use 4.3 gallons of fuel every 100 miles. Opting for 4WD reduces the efficiency to 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, but these numbers still rank highly in the full-size SUV segment.

Here are the fuel efficiency ratings for the two V-8 engines:

• 5.3-liter V-8 (RWD): 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.
• 5.3-liter V-8 (4WD): 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.
• 6.2-liter V-8 (RWD): 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.
• 6.2-liter V-8 (4WD): 14 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.

2024 GMC Yukon XL Miles per Gallon

The Yukon XL is a larger version of the Yukon, measuring over a foot longer and featuring a broader wheelbase. The 2024 models offer the same trim levels and powertrain options, but some drivetrain configurations on the Yukon XL get less mileage than the Yukon versions. Here’s the breakdown:

• Yukon XL with 5.3-liter V-8 (RWD): 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.
• Yukon XL with 5.3-liter V-8 (4WD): 15 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.
• Yukon XL with 6.2-liter V-8 (RWD): 14 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway.
• Yukon XL with 6.2-liter V-8 (4WD): 14 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.
• Yukon XL with 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6 (RWD): 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway.
• Yukon XL with 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6 (4WD): 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.

How Much Does It Cost To Fill Up the 2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL?

Before estimating how much you’ll spend filling up the 2024 GMC Yukon, it’s essential to acknowledge that gasoline prices vary significantly among states and regions, and costs at a particular gas station may fluctuate daily. As such, our Meadowland GMC team assumed a base price of $3.69 per gallon, which reflects the average for regular fuel in Carmel, New York, as of early March 2024. Considering the 2024 Yukon has a fuel tank capacity of 24 gallons, you’ll spend $88.56 to fill your tank from empty.

Realistically, however, you probably won’t fill the gas tank from empty frequently, so it’s helpful to examine a real-world driving scenario to understand how much you may spend for gas under ordinary travel circumstances. For example, if you use your 2024 Yukon to commute to work — a round trip of 40 miles — you’ll use $6.42 in fuel daily with the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine and two-wheel drive. That equates to around $32 for a five-day workweek; in a standard four-week month, your fuel costs will amount to approximately $128. With other drivetrain configurations, your outlay will be higher.

Interior Features of the 2024 GMC Yukon

The Yukon’s spacious and well-appointed cabin allows you to enjoy maximum comfort wherever you go. The front and second rows offer 44.5 inches and 42 inches of legroom, respectively, and even the third row’s 34.9 inches is enough to accommodate an adult. While the SUV seats up to eight people, the capacity shrinks to seven if you opt for the second-row captain’s chairs.

These are some other interior features you’ll find in the 2024 GMC Yukon, which may vary depending on your chosen trim:

• Aluminum details and accent stitching.
• Perforated leather-appointed seating.
• Dual 12.6-inch diagonal rear-seat media touch screens.
• A 10.2-inch diagonal premium infotainment system with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and voice-activated technology.
• A power-sliding console to allow more room for first-row cargo.
• Second-row flat-fold seats for easier access to the third row.
• A panoramic sunroof.
• Up to eight USB ports, two 120-volt power outlets, and one 12-volt power outlet.
• Wireless charging.
• Up to 145 cubic feet of cargo space.
