The 2020 GMC Yukon XL comes with four wheel drive, and rear wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 10-speed shiftable automatic, 6-speed shiftable automatic.The Yukon XL carries over essentially unchanged for 2020.

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

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

Pros
Strong V-8 engines
Massive towing capacity
High-class interior
Business-class looks
Comfortable ride quality on Denali

Cons
Limited cargo space
High top-end price
Floor height hampers leg room
Most crossovers do people better

thecarconnection.com

Pros
Strong off-road capabilities
Wealth of customization options
High-tech safety and off-road features
Smooth ride for an off-road-oriented SUV

Cons
Options can get pricey
Cargo door is heavy and opens toward the curb

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Modern design looks cool
Awesome off-road capabilities
Lots of personalisation options

Cons
A Discovery is better at seating seven
Top models are Range Rover money
Land Rover's poor reliability record

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Land Rover is introducing a V-8 engine into the Defender lineup for 2022: the 518-hp Supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 that's found in the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models. The V-8 will be available on both the two-door 90 and four-door 110 models; a high-end Carpathian Edition model will also sport the V-8 engine.

Pros
Ultra-capable off-road,
surprisingly refined on-road,
well-equipped interior.

Cons
Disappointing fuel economy,
desirable features carry high price tags,
six-cylinder isn't as quick as we'd hoped.
