WORSE BETTERGMC Yukon
This near-twin version of the Chevrolet Tahoe uses a 5.3-liter V8
and a six-speed automatic that returns 16 mpg and doesn’t feel par-
ticularly energetic. Ride and handling are not stellar, although the
magnetic ride suspension on the Denali version improves ride com-
fort and handling response. The 6.2-liter engine that comes on the
Denali is also a meaningful upgrade, but it raises the price consider-
ably. Proper optional equipment gives the Yukon a towing capacity
of 8,500 pounds, about the only advantage it has over a crossover
SUV, such as the GMC Acadia. Just as in the Tahoe, the third-row
seat is low and tiny. Automatic emergency braking, blind spot warn-
ing, and lane keeping assist are optional.Overall Score 64

03GMC Terrain
The Terrain is a corporate cousin of the Chevrolet Equinox, but a few
critical differences compromise it, even though it is positioned as a
more premium offering. We found it to be loud and stiff-riding, with
severely hampered visibility. The base engine is a lackluster 1.5-liter,
turbo four-cylinder. The uplevel choice is a significantly stronger
2.0-liter turbo mated to a nine-speed automatic that’s not the swift-
est or the smoothest. The Terrain’s gear selector is controlled by
unintuitive-to-operate dash-mounted push buttons. The infotain-
ment system is one of the easier ones to use and comes with Android
Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Forward collision warning,
city-speed automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection
are standard for 2020.Overall Score 60
