The exteriors are sleeker and more aerodynamic, enhancing efficiency on the highway and contributing to the new Yukon's quiet ride.

The 2015 model also promises greater capability and refinement, with more power, new fold-flat rear seats and a quieter interior. And thanks to a family of advanced EcoTec3 engines, it also delivers the segment's best V-8 performance and fuel economy. When it comes to safety, the 2015 Yukon does not disappoint. The model incorporates new technologies to help protect the driver and passengers before, during and after a collision. They include a forward radar system and the segment's only front seat center-mounted air bag (models with bucket seats), which is engineered to provide additional protection to drivers and front passengers in far-side impact crashes, where the affected occupant is on the opposite, non-struck side of the vehicle.
