Competitive Sales Comparison (USA)
The increase in GMC Yukon sales allowed the model to remain in third place in its competitive set, as its corporate cousins – the Chevy Tahoe (see running Chevrolet Tahoe sales) and Chevy Suburban (see running Chevrolet Suburban sales) continued to jointly dominate the Ford Expedition (see running Ford Expedition sales) for first place position in the segment.
Combining sales of the Tahoe and Suburban (in the same way as Ford does with the Expedition and Expedition L) results in the two Chevrolet models generating 42,275 deliveries, outselling the Expedition by over 16,180 units. Meanwhile, the Yukon family – comprised of the regular-length Yukon and extended-length Yukon XL – saw roughly 1,330 fewer sales than the Expedition.

Taking into account the Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon, GM saw 67,034 sales in the segment for a 68 percent segment share during the quarter.
The full-size mainstream SUV segment expanded nearly 13 percent to 97,876 units in Q4 2020, meaning Yukon sales outperformed the segment average.
The GM Authority Take
GMC Yukon sales grew faster than the segment average during the fourth quarter, allowing it to creep up on the Ford Expedition in the sales ranks. We attribute the circumstance to two factors:
- Substantial interest and consideration in the all-new, 2021 Yukon, and
- Improved availability of the all-new Yukon at the dealer level
The Yukon, along with its corporate Tahoe and Suburban platform mates, were overhauled (re-engineered and redesigned) for the 2021 model year. With its new looks, technology, enhanced performance, and optimized efficiency, we expect the all-new 2021 GMC Yukon to further improve GM’s already-strong position in the highly-lucrative full-size SUV space once supply allows. GM’s full-size SUVs – including the Yukon, Tahoe/Suburban and Escalade, are believed to be the biggest drivers of revenue and profit for the automaker.
However, competition is heating up. On the one hand, the still relatively new Ford Expedition is doing quite well in the segment. On the other, new entrants will soon enter the space, including the upcoming Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. Even so, we fully expect the new Yukon to hold its own in the segment, and to rise to the second-best-selling position behind the Tahoe/Suburban.

Comments
GM dominates this segment with Ford being an afterthought overall. Jeep, however, will likely presents a solid offering propped up as punchy under dog by the auto press much like we’ve seen with Ram, Stelvio and Grand Cherokee and Cherokee.
I do wish GMC would get a unique body so the brand can better develop an identity.
Why are the Yukon/Yukon XL counted together when the Tahoe/Suburban are separate?
Even though Tahoe and suburban are the same they are different name plates. I’d like to see chassis or platform sales winners for manufacturers
