2020 GMC Yukon Concept, Redesign, Release Date, Price. The full-size GMC Yukon is closing to the end of its fourth generation. Actually, the 2020 GMC Yukon should be the last model year of the current generation and it will receive few changes.
On the other hand, the closely related Chevy Suburban was spotted while testing the new generation design and the twined Chevy Tahoe will also come as the all-new 2020 Tahoe. All, of course, follow the redesign of GM’s light-light duty trucks the Silverado and Sierra. The new-gen Yukon will arrive for the 2020 model year with the changes mimicking those on the GMC Sierra and brand’s latest SUVs.

2020 GMC YUKON: DESIGN
The 2020 GMC Yukon follows some minor changes on the exterior look and the introduction of the standard 10-speed automatic transmission for the 2018 model year. The model will switch to the new platform which will actually be the evolution of the current K2XX architecture.
For the 2020 model year, three new exterior colors should be in the offer and two will disappear from the list. The new options should be Smokey Quartz Metallic, dark Sky Metallic, and Pepperdust Metallic.
Reports also indicate two new package options. Both should include 22-inch wheels with unique designs. One will get black chrome mesh inserts in the grille and body-colored grille surround.

The cabin of the upcoming Yukon will return unchanged. The Yukon also provides the maximum of 95 cubes of the cargo space while the extended-wheelbase version improves to 121 cubes.
EQUIPMENT:

All versions of the full-size SUV will include an 8-inch display-based infotainment system with Apple Car Play and Android Auto features. The base SLE will also come with the 18-inch wheels, tri-zone climate control, side steps, keyless entry and ignition, bucket front etas, etc. The safety systems such as the forward collision warning, low-speed braking, lane departure warning, and intervention, etc. will likely be available in this trim as the package option.
