The GM Authority Take

As with Cadillac Escalade January 2017 sales results, the Yukon family’s sales performance seen here further illustrates the ongoing change in consumer behavior dynamics towards increasingly favoring CUVs and SUVs at the expense of sedans. The healthy growth in Yukon deliveries during the month is highly beneficial to General Motors’ financial performance, as the vehicles are some of the most profitable for the automaker.
