background
The
GMC Yukon
is nothing short of a staple in the domestic full-size SUV market, but it has generally been outfitted with a V8 engine rather than a V6. However, the diesel version of the Yukon does have a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel inline-6 engine, which gets greatly improved fuel economy.
While you won’t be able to find a Yukon with a V6 engine in it, drivers looking for the fuel economy of a 6-cylinder engine will find it in the diesel version of the Yukon, available in all trims. If you’re looking for a GMC SUV with a V6, consider a mid-size SUV like the
GMC Acadia

No, the Yukon’s standard engine is a V8, but it is available with an inline-6 diesel engine if you’re just looking for something with 6 cylinders.
