For the upcoming 2024 model, the popular GMC Yukon is set for a mid-cycle refresh that will introduce changes to both the interior and the exterior. Now, GM Authority has learned when production of the 2024 GMC Yukon is expected to kick off.
GM Authority has exclusively learned from sources close to the matter that the start of regular production (SORP) of the refreshed 2024 GMC Yukon is currently scheduled for November 2023.
In case you missed it, the revised 2024 Yukon will benefit from a bevy of styling and technology updates. Beginning with the exterior, GM Authority photographers have captured pictures of a heavily camouflaged 2024 Yukon, indicating revisions to the front and rear fascias.
On the technology side, we have also recorded photos of another Yukon equipped with a range of sensors and other goodies testing around GM’s Milford Proving Grounds in Michigan, indicating that the refreshed SUV may introduce new autonomous driving features, possibly the GM Ultra Cruise system.
It’s worth noting that a refresh for the current fifth-generation GMC Yukon would mark a significant departure in strategy from the previous GM K2 platform vehicles. Prior-generation vehicles didn’t receive a refresh during their lifecycle, which lasted from model year 2015 to 2020.
As a reminder, the current 2023 GMC Yukon, as well as the current Yukon XL, is offered with three engine options. These include the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and finally the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax, rated at 277 horsepower at and 460 pound-feet of torque. All three engines are mated to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission.
Under the skin, both the 2023 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL ride on the GM T1 platform, which underpins all GM full-size SUVs. Meanwhile, production takes place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

so what are the Updates?????
That was very informative!
What are they even saying? The LM2 already has been replaced by LZ0 3.0L 305 HP.
Is this supposed to be news? Seems like an old article. Please correct me If I’m wrong.
I want an At4 Yukon with the Diesel engine.
I’ve been moaning about this since the AT4 came out. The AT4 with the LZ0 would be a great rig for my purposes. Hopefully the engineers get it done.
Unfortunately its up to the bean counters, not the engineers. Makes perfect sense to me.
We have a 2022 Yukon SLT Duramax with “max towing” that basically adds the integrated brake controller. All the other coolers and upgrades are already on the Duramax equipped Yukon.
I wish we could get the full Max Towing package on the diesel Yukon with the 3.73 from the Sierra vs the 3.23 we are stuck with.
I was told by multiple dealerships that the LM2 stays with the 2023 Yukon/Tahoe and the LZ0 is only for the 1500 trucks. Why wouldn’t they just go to one newer engine?
I want a larger gas tank in the 2024 yukon Denali xl…a 28 gallon tank isn’t large enough. Please provide at least a 33 gallon tank.
Heard there might be a 500 HP engine in the AT4’s future. 2024? Any new colors & interiors planned for 2024? Need to know because I’m going to trade in my 2021 GMC Yukon XL Denali..
How about a larger gas tank size….31-35 gallon tank would be great.
will they offer the 2024 YUKON in RED, true red – not red tint or maroon. I’ve been waiting for a red, Texas Tech Red – not A&M red.
Thank you
