The 2027 GMC Yukon 2WD makes sense for shoppers seeking a rear-wheel-drive SUV with a 5.3-liter 8-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. Fuel economy is its defining constraint: 17 MPG combined, 15 MPG in the city, and 20 MPG on the highway. The EPA’s $3,950 annual fuel estimate helps set a practical budget. If your driving is mostly urban or fuel cost is a priority, compare other SUVs before deciding.
