Yukon vs. Yukon XL: What's the Difference?
As you probably know, the Yukon XL is a bigger version of the popular Yukon. This extra space is appreciated by those with large families or a lot of gear to haul. While the Yukon is 210 inches long, the Yukon XL is 225.2 inches long. As a result, the Yukon has 25.5 cubic feet behind the third row, and the Yukon has 41.5 cubic feet. Both of these SUVs have spacious seating, but the XL has nearly two extra inches of legroom in the third row.
