2007 GMC YUKON AND YUKON XL ARE ALL-NEW WITH ENHANCED EFFICIENCY AND REFINEMENT
For 2007, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL full-size SÚVs are all-new, delivering more power and better fuel economy than the vehicles they replace. The vehicles are based on GM's all-new full-size SÚV platform, which features distinctive styling, spacious and refined interiors, exceptional driving characteristics and enhanced safety features. The new vehicles are part of the broadest and most capable lineup of SÚVs in GMC's more than 100 years of building trucks. Yukon rides on a 116-inch (2,946 mm) wheelbase, with an overall length of 202 inches (5,130 mm). It rides on a wider track that, along with the long wheelbase, provides a smooth, confident and secure driving experience. Yukon XL models have exterior dimensions similar to the regular models, but are about 14 inches longer in wheelbase and 20 inches longer in overall length. Both Yukon and Yukon XL are available in SLE (cloth trim) and SLT trim (leather appointments), as well as 2WD and 4WD configurations. A third-row seat is standard on Yukon XL models and available on Yukon . Yukon and Yukon XL models offer a 5.3L V-8 with GM's fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology. Beginning in fall 2006, a 4.8L V-8 is the standard engine on the Yukon 2WD base model and a new 6.0L all-aluminum V-8 with variable valve timing becomes available in Yukon XL. Several available engines can run on E85, a renewable fuel made of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline; in fact, all Yukon 4WD and Yukon XL half-ton models come standard with the E85-capable version of the 5.3L V-8. GM vehicles with E85 capability can run on 100 percent gasoline or on E85 or on any combination of the two. All-new, sleeker design Yukon and Yukon XL have a sleek, taut form. Wraparound front and rear fascias, styled mirrors and integrated running boards provide a seamless, contemporary appearance. Craftsmanship is found in elements such as tight tolerances between exterior components and a tuned, wheels-to-the-corners proportion. The toned look on all models is created with faster windshield angle of 57 degrees, which flows gracefully into the roofline. This improves aerodynamic performance, which bolsters fuel economy and helps reduce wind noise. Jewel-look lighting elements and doors that extend over the rockers accent the vehicles' precise and refined design elements. The headlamps are larger, using bright halogen bulbs that deliver improved lighting spread. Rear-end styling also is distinct, with unique tail lamps. Features such as power articulating running boards (available in fall 2006) and a power liftgate enhance accessibility. Models not equipped with the power liftgate feature an easy-to-operate liftgate that is opened with a micro-switch and assists the operator by using the mass of the tailgate to almost open or close itself once the liftgate is past the halfway-open position. An ergonomically designed, recessed cup with pull handle makes closing the liftgate an easy, one-handed operation. Refined, spacious interiors
Interior space is roomier and has a spacious, refined environment, thanks to a premium tone-on-tone color scheme and a lower-positioned instrument panel. New thinner, sculpted seat designs and detailed trim affirm the vehicles' craftsmanship, which is bolstered by optional amenities such as heated seats for first- and second-row passengers. Also, the front seats offer more fore/aft and recline travel, and the second-row seats have an increased seatback recline angle for added comfort.
The '07 Yukon and Yukon XL are built on GM's new full-size SÚV platform, which incorporates features such as a new, fully boxed frame, coil-over-shock front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. The frame supports wider front and rear tracks – approximately 3 inches (76.2 mm) wider in front and 1 inch (25.4 mm) wider in the rear – that enhance stability and driving confidence through a more secure road feel and a lower center of gravity. The front suspension consists of an all-new coil-over-shock design that delivers linear, solid and unwavering ride and handling characteristics on all road surfaces. Also new is a rack-and-pinion steering system that provides precise and responsive control and enhanced on-center feel. Yukon and Yukon XL 1500 models use a highly refined five-link rear suspension that provides superior isolation and ride, with larger, firmer brackets that also contribute to the vehicles' precise driving manners. Larger, four-wheel disc brakes and an all-new ABS system ensure braking performance at the top of the segment. Larger vented front and rear brake rotors, 50-percent stiffer dual-piston calipers and longer-life brake pads contribute to enhanced pedal feel, reduced brake noise, predictable, linear brake response and shorter braking distances. A new, Bosch 8.0 next-generation four-channel ABS system is standard. The ABS system works with the standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system. In the new SÚVs, StabiliTrak incorporates the first-time GM application of rollover mitigation, software algorithm technology that uses sensors to proactively predict vehicle 'tip-up' and applies appropriate brake forces to help prevent such events. Enhanced driving control and ride smoothness is offered with the available Autoride real-time damping system, which uses electronically controlled shock absorbers to make nearly instantaneous damping adjustments. The system 'reads' the road and anticipates the best damping rates. Seventeen-inch wheels are standard on Yukon and Yukon XL; 20-inch wheels are available. The wheels are designed with premium-appearance faces, including available chrome or polished finish. New tires are tailored to the vehicles to provide excellent balance of handling, quietness and safety. New small-block V-8 family
The new Gen IV small-block V-8 family powers the Yukon and Yukon XL, delivering more power than comparable powertrains in previous models. An iron-block Vortec 5.3L V-8 with 320 horsepower (239 kW)* and 340 lb.-ft. of torque (461 Nm)* offering Active Fuel Management technology is standard at the start of production; Yukon XL with 4WD (5.3L with aluminum cylinder block) delivers 310 hp (231 kW) and 335 lb.-ft of torque (454 Nm).* Active Fuel Management enables better fuel economy by switching between eight-cylinder and four-cylinder operation in appropriate, lower-demand situations. Operation is automatic and seamless to the driver. The engine uses less fuel when operating in four-cylinder mode. A Vortec 4.8L V-8 is standard on the Yukon 2WD base model, starting in fall 2006 A Flex-fuel E85 version of the 5.3L engine, which is capable of running on E85 ethanol fuel or any mixture of E85 and gasoline, is standard on 4WD models and available on 2WD models. E85 is comprised of 85 percent ethanol, a renewable resource fuel produced in the Únited States that reduces carbon dioxide emissions Available for fall production on Yukon XL is a new, all-aluminum 6.0L V-8 with variable valve timing (VVT). It is rated at 366 horsepower (273 kW).* VVT helps optimize camshaft timing to improve low-rpm torque and high-rpm horsepower. The system is enabled by a unique cam phaser – the industry's first application of VVT on a mass-produced V-8 cam-in-block engine. The unique cam phaser adjusts the camshaft timing at the same rate for both the intake and exhaust valves. Safety and security
The '07 Yukon and Yukon XL are designed to be among the industry's safest and most secure vehicles, with a 360-degree perimeter safety system of occupant protection and crash avoidance technologies. New features include head curtain side air bags with rollover protection for all seating rows and front-seat safety belt pretensioners that are linked to the vehicle's sensing system to provide segment-exclusive deployment in rear-end crashes. These features are integrated into a stronger vehicle structure that is also designed for improved compatibility with other vehicles.

- Standard dual-stage driver's front air bag
- Standard dual-stage outboard-front passenger air bag with Passenger Sensing System
- Available head curtain side air bags for all seating rows
- Standard front seat safety belt pretensioners with rear impact deployment capability
- Standard tire pressure monitoring system

- Available Últrasonic Rear Parking Assist that can detect certain stationary objects in the rearward path of the vehicle and send an audible warning sound
- Available rearview camera system designed to provide the driver with a view of people or objects in the rearward path of the vehicle (requires available navigation radio)
- Standard pull-up/push-down power window switches
- Available voice-assisted navigation system
All models come standard with the OnStar system (with a one-year Safe and Sound service plan). The system includes the General Motors Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) system, making crash data available to emergency services to potentially dispatch the appropriate life-saving personnel and equipment to crash scenes faster. If the vehicle is in a crash that activates an airbag, the OnStar system automatically notifies an OnStar Advisor, who will check on the occupants or summon emergency help if necessary. OnStar also can assist authorities in locating a vehicle if it is reported stolen (ability to locate stolen vehicles varies with conditions).Source - GMC
