The 5 Best Things about the 2019 GMC SUV Lineup

GMC SUVs are hotter than ever before thanks to one of the strongest lineups in recent history. It can be safely said that GMC truly outdid itself with each and every one of these vehicles, but certain aspects really stand out among them. At the end of the day, however, the best things about the lineup are not the impressive safety features, their sophisticated interiors, or the stellar technology options.

No, the best things about the 2019 lineup are the GMC SUVs themselves. Everything they have to offer and bring to the table is simply better than ever before. While it’s true, we’re not exactly a neutral party on the subject, even an impartial observer could look at the specs and how each of these SUVs stack up and the truth would be obvious. This is a lineup that is here to be noticed and each one of these models is a great choice for any driver.

#1 – The 2019 GMC Terrain

One of the best things about this lineup of GMC SUVs is that there is something for everyone, starting with the 2019 Terrain, which is a small SUV. Small models are great for drivers who want a true SUV experience but who don’t necessarily have the space in their lives for a full-size beast. No one is going to confuse a small SUV for a sedan or coupe, but the 2019 GMC Terrain has a notably sleek exterior that makes an immediate impression.

Despite its smaller size, the Terrain comfortably and safely seats 5, has more than 63 cu.ft. of interior cargo space behind the first row, and includes more than 40 inches of front legroom. Combine that with up to 252 hp engine, and you get an SUV that can haul up to 3,500 lbs. behind it for a camping trip, a day of tailgating, or anything else you can imagine. With a standard model of the Terrain you can expect 26/30 MPG in the city and highway which is particularly impressive and will help keep you on the road, instead of stopping every hundred miles to fill up.

#2 – The 2019 GMC Acadia

For drivers who are looking for a “middle way” between full-size and small GMC SUVs, the mid-size category is a perfect choice. Among all midsize SUVs, few can stand beside the 2019 GMC Acadia in terms of overall performance and elegant design. Everything the Acadia does, it does well, and that makes this a perfect option for a wide range of drivers. It has a distinctive front grille that makes an immediate impression and includes an available traction select system that lets you quickly adapt to changing road conditions.

Up to 7 people can comfortably pile into the Acadia, which has nearly 80 cu.ft. of cargo volume. And yet, the front seats still have 41 inches of legroom, so the driver and front passenger do not have to sacrifice comfort just to load more into this beauty. When properly equipped, the Acadia can tow up to 4,000 lbs. of weight behind it, making it an ideal choice for anyone with a small camper or trailer. All of this elegance and sophistication comes with up to 21/26 MPG in the city and on the highway, so you can stay on the road longer and go easy on your wallet.

#3 – The 2019 GMC Yukon

For drivers for whom the small or midsize experience simply is not enough, the 2019 GMC Yukon offers a larger experience among 2019 GMC SUVs. This is a full-size SUV that does not shy away from taking absolute command of the road and giving you total control at your fingertips. There is room enough in this beast for up to 9 people when properly configured, along with nearly 95 cu.ft. of cargo space. That is a tremendous amount of room inside for passengers or anything else you’re looking to carry—from camping supplies to coolers and all the way to shopping bags you can fit anything.

When properly equipped, the 2019 Yukon can haul up to 8,500 lbs. of weight behind it, which is the pinnacle of trailering power among GMC SUVs. If you need to haul more than that behind your vehicle, then you’re probably going to be looking at a pickup truck—most likely a heavy-duty model like the GMC Sierra HD. But for everyone else, the 2019 Yukon provides a tremendous amount of interior space, luxury and sophistication inside and out, and unbridled power.

#4 – The 2019 GMC Yukon XL

If the 2019 Yukon is still not big enough for you, then there is one last option: the GMC Yukon XL. This behemoth is the largest of GMC SUVs, and is essentially an extended version of the standard Yukon, with many of the same bells and whistles. So if you like the design and features of the Yukon, then you’ll probably like the XL.

The Yukon XL is nearly two feet long in the rear, providing additional legroom for the third-row and more cargo space behind it. The Yukon XL has over 121 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the first row, and still provides seating for up to 9 people when properly configured. The only way the XL does not quite match the standard Yukon is in trailering capacity. The maximum you can haul behind the Yukon XL is 8,300 lbs.—but that’s only 200 pounds less than the regular Yukon.

#5 – The Denali Models

The standard models of GMC SUVs this year are great, but there’s one last thing to be excited about. All four 2019 GMC SUVs, including the Yukon XL, are available at the Denali trim level. As great as all the other trim levels are, there’s just something special that stands out about the Denali.

It is the pinnacle of GMC design and engineering, with a gorgeous interior packed full of impressive technology. From the iconic front grille to an available 10-speaker Bose Centerpoint surround sound system, and a 6.2L engine on the Yukon and Yukon XL, the Denali trim level takes the best vehicles on the road and makes them even better. For some years the Denali trim levels are pretty limited and you won’t see them available for every vehicle you like.

In 2019, however, all four GMC SUVs have Denali trim levels available. This means you can look at what GMC has to offer, figure out which SUV is right for you, and know whichever one you choose can be upgraded to the ultimate levels of luxury. While the Denali trim level might not be for everyone, for drivers interested in it, there is no better time than now to choose a GMC SUV.
