The redesigned 2015 GMC Yukon comes in two varieties: large (Yukon) and super-sized (Yukon XL). The Yukon’s cargo space didn’t wow us: Despite its large exterior footprint, it only has 15.3 cubic feet of space behind the third row. “Cargo space behind the third row is surprisingly small,” wrote Cars.com reviewer Kristin Varela in her review of the “large” Yukon. The 2015 Yukon as well as the Yukon XL’s cargo space measures smaller than the previous generation.
Stepping up to the super-sized Yukon XL provides much more room with more than 20 inches of additional length from a 14-inch longer wheelbase. The plus-sized XL doubles the cargo space behind the third row to 38.9 cubic feet of space. Overall room for the 2015 Yukon XL with the second and third rows folded increases from the Yukon’s 94.7 cubic feet to the XL’s 121.1 cubic feet.
