2014 GMC Yukon: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2014 GMC Yukon is the loss of the hybrid models. Otherwise, this final year of the third-generation Yukon is a light update before the all-new 2015 redesign.
About the 2014 GMC Yukon
3rd generation (2007-2014), final year before the all-new 2015 redesign.
The 2014 Yukon is GMC’s full-size, truck-based SUV for buyers who need real towing ability, three-row space, and a more upscale look than a mainstream full-size SUV. GMC sells it as a “Professional Grade” vehicle: sturdy, spacious, and capable of hauling people, cargo, or a trailer without giving up comfort. The long-wheelbase Yukon XL broadens that mission with much more cargo room, while Denali pushes the same formula toward luxury.
The 2014 Yukon remains a truck-based, three-row SUV, with the SLE serving as the core family-and-towing trim and the SLT adding leather and heated front seats. Denali is the standout luxury version, pairing a 6.2-liter V8 with heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, an air-leveling suspension, and distinctive chrome trim.
