Large vessels like the Suburban and the Yukon XL require a lot of oomph to get them rolling. Fortunately, both models offer various powertrains to provide the performance you crave and the strength your adventure requires.
Let’s be honest—the Chevy Suburban and the GMX Yukon XL are very similar in terms of their performance. In fact, both models can be equipped with three different engines, including:
- Standard 5.3L V8 engine:355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque
- Available 6.2L V8 engine: 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
- Available 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel engine: 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
Plus, when you mate any of their powerhouse engines with a standard 10-speed automatic transmission, even your bumpiest ride on the campground roads will be smooth sailing.
Speaking of bumpy rides, both the Suburban and the Yukon XL can be equipped with 4-wheel drive. This highly capable drivetrain will give drivers added assurance while tackling uneven terrain.
However, when equipped with 4-wheel drive and a 6.2L engine configuration, the Chevy will be able to tow more compared to the GMC. With this pairing, the Chevy can tow 7,600 pounds, while the GMC can only tow 7,400 pounds.
With adventure on the forefront, you need a vehicle that helps you prepare. The Chevy Suburban and the GMC Yukon XL offer the space and the versatility you desire for your equipment and your family. However, the Suburban provides ultimate utility with its integrated organizational tactics.
As extended vessels, the Chevy Suburban and the GMC Yukon XL offer a lot of room inside for your essentials. Whether you need to tote eight passengers or your family’s camping equipment, you’ll have a matching amount of room in either vehicle:
- Cargo Volume Behind First Row: 144.7 cubic feet
- Cargo Volume Behind Second Row: 93.8 cubic feet
- Cargo Volume Behind Third Row: 41.5 cubic feet
However, where they begin to part ways is in their organizational efforts. On board the Chevy Suburban, you’ll find a standard Cargo Management System. This helpful feature includes movable dividers to adjust the size of your desired storage area. When in place, your cargo will be stowed away securely.
Unfortunately, the closest thing the GMC Yukon XL has to Chevy’s feature is an optional Cargo Convenience Package that you’ll need to upgrade to. With that being said, the Suburban is perfect for those who desire standard cargo organization for all their upcoming trips.
When you have your little ones on board, you want to ensure vehicle makes safety a top priority. That’s exactly what the Chevy Suburban and the GMX Yukon XL do! Both models equip safety suites with helpful features designed to help keep you safe and on course.
Both models are equipped with extensive safety suites, which include the following features and more:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Front and Rear Park Assist
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Teen Driver
With the help of these driver-assistance aids, you can feel confident every time you, your partner, or your teenager takes the wheel.
Accidents can happen out of nowhere. However, the Chevy Suburban takes an additional step to make sure you can combat the unknown. With the Chevy’s available Safety Alert Seat, drivers can experience left-, right-, or both-side seat vibrations to help identify the direction of a potential accident.
Even though the GMC Yukon XL is well-adorned with safety features, it goes without a similar seat system that could better arm you against any potential crashes.
At the end of the day, the 2022 Chevy Suburban and the 2022 GMC Yukon XL are very similar SUVs. However, thanks to its greater towing capacity, standard cargo management system, and available Safety Alert Seat, we believe the Chevy Suburban will fit your crew best.
