Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Nine-passenger capacity combined with strong towing power is hard to come by, and it's what makes the 2019 GMC Yukon XL a great choice for big families with big toys. Aside from a few other truck-based large SUVs, there isn't anything else available that can match the Yukon XL's skill set. The trade-off is that the Yukon's imposing mass and traditional SUV design compromise maneuverability, fuel economy and ride comfort.

Pros
Seats up to nine passengers
Plenty of cargo capacity, even with all the seats deployed
High towing ratings

Cons
Size, weight and length make it unwieldy around town
Slow gas pedal response makes base engine feel weaker than it's rated
Cargo space utility is limited by high load floor

Pros
Classy cabin
Smooth ride with upgraded suspension

Cons
Cramped third row and cargo space in standard configuration
Bumpy ride with base suspension

The 2019 GMC Yukon is an old-school SUV with plenty of tech and capability for new-school buyers.

Pros
Powerful engines
Great at towing
High-zoot interior
Chiseled design
Denali rides well

Cons
Interior not that spacious
Can be staggeringly pricey
Cargo area limitations
Crossovers work just as well

Sitting atop the Mercedes-Benz SUV hierarchy is the spacious and indisputably luxurious GLS-Class. It's all new for 2020 and it has big shoes to fill—we've named the outgoing GLS-Class to our 10Best Trucks and SUVs list for three straight years—but our first impressions of this new big Benz are very good.

Pros
Tech-rich cabin, spacious in all three rows, refined powertrains.

Cons
Anonymous styling, fussy infotainment system, heavily optioned models carry high price tags

By:

AMG, Maybach editions sure to come

Hefty curb weight
Hefty fuel consumption
Occasional cheap touch
