Wagoneer vs Yukon

A New Front-Runner

There’s a new luxury SUV on the market and it's putting the competition to shame. With exceptional off-road capability, Best-in-Class towing ability, and one of the most spacious cabins around, the award-winning Wagoneer is arguably the most versatile SUV in America. The Wagoneer is quickly taking the automotive industry by storm, revolutionizing the SUV market and clearly establishing itself as a premier vehicle in its class. To see just where the Wagoneer ranks, our experts at Preston Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram have put time and effort into comparing the Wagoneer to one of its top competitors, the GMC Yukon. Although on the surface it seems clear that Wagoneer vs Yukon is an easily settled debate, we’ve laid out exactly what separates the Wagoneer apart from its competition. However, don’t just take our word for it. Once you’ve finished reviewing our Wagoneer vs Yukon research, be sure to visit Preston CDJR and test drive a Wagoneer to see first hand what makes the Wagoneer stand out.

Capable Not Comparable

While arguments could be made between the sleek and classy design of the Wagoneer vs the Yukon’s wider, sportier appearance, style is subjective. What really matters is performance and capability. The Yukon offers five available engine options, whereas the Wagoneer only has one engine option, the 5.7 V8 with eTorque. However, the 5.7L engine produces a maximum 392 horsepower and 404 lb.-ft. of torque for the Wagoneer vs Yukon's standard 5.3L V8 engine which offers 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft of torque. Clearly, Wagoneer performs better. The Wagoneer is also far stronger and is capable of a Best-in-Class maximum 10,000 lb. towing capacity, while the Yukon has a respectable, but lesser, 8,400 lb. max towing capacity. To really put an end to the Wagoneer vs Yukon capability debate, the Wagoneer’s 4x4 systems and Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System provide outstanding off-road capability that the Yukon’s available Active Response 4WD™ just can’t keep up with.

Luxury at its Finest

Both GMC and Wagoneer models are famous for their luxury vehicles, so what does the Wagoneer vs Yukon interior comparison look like? Both the Yukon and Wagoneer come with stylish upholstery options, provide convenient center consoles, and are fitted with standard high-end audio systems. However, unlike the Yukon, the Wagoneer comes with more standard than available luxury features, such as the heated and ventilated 12-way power adjusted front seats. Additionally, the Wagoneer offers more space for passengers with Best-in-Class passenger legroom in both the second and third rows of seating. While the Yukon does offer more overall cargo space when the seats are folded down, the Wagoneer provides more cargo space behind the third row seating.

Available vs Standard

Like their interior designs and luxury features, the Yukon and Wagoneer each provide a plethora of perks, such as standard and available driver-assist features, including 360-degree cameras and emergency braking, but overall, the Wagoneer provides more standard technology than the Yukon. In the Yukon, second-row seat-mounted entertainment screens are an available option, whereas second-row screens are standard in the Wagoneer. Furthermore, both SUVs come with digital cluster displays and 10+ inch infotainment center dash touchscreens, but the Wagoneer also features an optional Wagoneer-exclusive dynamic passenger dash touchscreen, the only one in its class. While each vehicle's infotainment technologies offer an array of amazing features such as 4G LTE Wi-Fi and streaming capabilities, the Wagoneer’s standard technology simply provides more for passengers than the Yukon’s available features.
