Get to Know GMC’s Highly-Rated SUVs

If you’re in the market for an SUV with a serious road presence, luxury interior features, and the kind of tech that practically makes the coffee for you, you’re probably looking at a GMC. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill family haulers; they’re like your trusty Labrador, but with leather seats, premium audio, and a towing capacity. From the roomy Yukon to the more city-friendly Terrain, here’s a look at GMC’s top-rated SUVs and why they might be the perfect fit for anyone who wants a vehicle that’s as impressive in the office parking lot as it is on a dirt trail. You’ll find your favorite at Barker Buick GMC in Houma, LA.

Now, let’s take a look at these phenomenal GMC SUVs.

GMC Yukon

The GMC Yukon isn’t just an SUV; it’s practically a luxury hotel suite on wheels. Picture this: the Yukon's got seating for up to nine, enough legroom for an NBA team, and cargo space that could double as a storage unit. It’s not just roomy. It’s a downright palace. Whether you’re carting the family to the lake or hitting up the big-box store, the Yukon has you covered.

Inside, you’ll find leather seating, a 10.2-inch touchscreen (which sounds small until you see it), and premium options like heated and ventilated seats. Plus, the top trims offer open-pore wood accents. It’s just GMC’s way of saying, “We know you appreciate the finer things.”

But the Yukon’s beauty isn’t just skin-deep; it’s got brawn, too. With an available 6.2-liter V8 engine, this beast can tow up to 8,400 pounds. That’s an RV, a boat, or most of your neighbor’s SUVs combined.

GMC Yukon XL

If the Yukon feels a tad cozy for you, meet the Yukon XL – essentially a Yukon that’s been taking its vitamins. The Yukon XL is over 15 inches longer than the regular Yukon, which means it has enough extra cargo space to haul all the essentials, from camping gear to, well, a small living room.

The Yukon XL also has every luxury feature of the Yukon but stretches the interior to the max. So, if you’re the kind who likes to really spread out, this SUV is your match. Imagine third-row legroom where even the tallest passengers won’t feel like they’re packed like sardines. And don’t worry, it still has the same high-end tech and powerful engine options. Bigger is better, right?

GMC Acadia

Moving down a size (but certainly keeping all the cool points) is the GMC Acadia. The Acadia is like the Yukon’s kid brother, who’s equally talented but doesn’t need quite as much space. It’s big enough for family outings, yet manageable enough for daily commutes. It comfortably seats up to seven, and its intuitive, user-friendly tech makes it a popular choice among families.

Now, let’s talk tech, because the Acadia excels in this realm. You’ll get a standard eight-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto®, and, if you upgrade, a heads-up display that makes you feel like you’re in a spaceship. Safety-wise, the Acadia doesn’t mess around. With features like lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring, it’s basically like having a safety-conscious co-pilot.

Plus, with an optional 310-horsepower V6, the Acadia isn’t shy about showing off a bit. This mid-sized SUV says, “I’ve got the power and the personality.”

GMC Terrain: Small in Size, Big on Style

The GMC Terrain is the brand’s smaller, more compact SUV, and it’s perfect for those who want the SUV experience without needing a parking space that could double as a helipad. But don’t let the size fool you – the Terrain still packs all the GMC style and features into a tidier package. It’s the “smart casual” of SUVs, looking just as at home on city streets as it does on a weekend road trip.

Inside, the Terrain has a refreshingly upscale vibe, with premium materials and a tech-savvy infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an optional 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. Its standard 1.5-liter turbocharged engine might be a bit more conservative than its larger siblings, but the Terrain’s fuel efficiency is where it shines. Plus, the Denali trim takes luxury up a notch with leather upholstery, a Bose sound system, and the kind of finishes that make you forget you’re in a “compact.”

GMC Hummer EV SUV

The Hummer EV SUV is back and bolder than ever – except now, it’s electric. GMC resurrected the Hummer with an eco-friendly twist, proving that even the most rugged SUVs can go green. With up to 1,000 horsepower (yes, you read that right) and a 0-60 time of around 3 seconds, the Hummer EV is ready to blow your mind – and maybe your hair back.

It’s loaded with unique features like CrabWalk technology, allowing the Hummer to move diagonally. You know, for when you absolutely have to parallel park like a pro. And the Infinity Roof means you can remove the roof panels and ride open-air. All this while still looking like it could drive through a mountain with no problem.

Which GMC SUV is Right for You?

Choosing between these GMC SUVs is like choosing between filet mignon and lobster – it’s tough, but there’s no wrong answer. Whether you need the space of a Yukon XL, the family-friendly Acadia, or the eco-warrior Hummer EV, GMC’s lineup has something for everyone. Just make sure you bring your sunglasses, because these SUVs shine like nobody’s business. See us at Barker Buick GMC in Houma, LA to explore GMC’s SUV lineup and find the right fit for you!
