How to interpret car specs

Car specs can be hard to fully understand, especially if you’re not used to reading them. To help you interpret these 2022 GMC Yukon specs, we’ve put together this quick guide to car spec terminology:

Base curb weight: Represents

the vehicle’s weight

with a full gas tank and standard equipment.

Dimensions: Manufacturers provide measurements of each integral car part, so these numbers describe size throughout.

Drivetrain: The Yukon is available with four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive in the 2022 model—these drivetrains describe which wheels power the vehicle’s movement.

Engine displacement

: This value refers to the volume the engine’s cylinders take up. The 2022 Yukon has eight cylinders, so its engine displacement is higher than the average vehicle.

Ground clearance: If you plan on off-roading, you’ll need to be aware of your vehicle’s ground clearance—the distance between the bottom of the car and a flat surface.

Horsepower: One horsepower can move 550 pounds by one foot in a single second—horsepower measures your engine’s power.

Torque:

Horsepower and torque

go hand-in-hand. This number indicates the vehicle’s rate of movement and ability to spin its wheels.

Turning diameter: This number refers to the smallest diameter of the semicircle required for the vehicle to complete a full U-turn.
