GMC Yukon sales increased in the United States and decreased in Canada during the second quarter of 2018.

GMC Yukon Sales – Q2 2018 – United States

Cumulative deliveries of the GMC Yukon family in the United States increased 17.47 percent to 19,520 units in Q2 2017.

We should note that the 19,520 deliveries were comprised of roughly 5:3 split between the regular-length Yukon and extended-length Yukon XL. However, the table below shows 0 units and a 100 percent drop for the Yukon XL, since GM decided to no longer break out Yukon from Yukon XL sales. As such, the table shows combined Yukon and Yukon XL sales for Q2 2018 and broken out Yukon and Yukon XL sales for Q2 2017.

In the first six months of 2018, Yukon sales totaled 34,522 units, an increase of 1 percent compared to 34,157 Yukons delivered in the first six months of 2017.

The GM Authority Take

The second quarter enabled the Yukon to remain in third place in its competitive set in the United States, behind its corporate cousins – the Chevrolet Suburban/Tahoe, but ahead of the all-new Ford Expedition (see Ford Expedition sales), Nissan Armada, and Toyota Sequoia.

Pay no attention to the irregularity of the Yukon XL line in the below table, since GM did decided to bundle Yukon XL sales on the sale line as the regular-length Yukon for the second quarter. As such, the Yukon line contains sales of the Yukon and Yukon XL for the Q2 2018 heading.

  2. These have arguably more road presence than the Escalade, in my opinion. A gorgeous SUV.

    1. Honestly I can envision that front end picture above with the traditional crest & wreath centered on the grille… It just Looks Cadillac to me. Or at least how I feel a Cadillac should look. I think it’s far more attractive than the Escalade. So much so I wish it Was the Escalade. Everything Denali looks like what Cadillac should have been doing IMHO.
