Gmc Yukon is a true American

Production history

For the first time GMC Yukon debuted in the distant 1991th year. It was the first generation of an off-road car. At that time it was manned by two gasoline engines. The first is a 258-hp unit with a volume of 5.7 liters. The second - with a volume of 5.7 liters and a capacity of 294 horses. It was this model of the car that became the most popular among all at the concern "General Motors". Because of such popularity, the American company did not dare to shoot this jeep from production. For two decades in the pickup a lot of things have changed, but still the power and large dimensions remained unchanged.

Years pass, machines change

In the late 90's in the model line of the company was added another pickup truck - Gmc Yukon Denali. It was a luxury version of the serial Yukon.

A year later the company introduced the new, second generation of the legendary Gmc Yukon. Now the novelty is popular not only in the US, but in many other countries, including Russia. On such a rapid success, the developers did not even expect. The second Yukon was built on the basis of a similar SUV - Chevrolet Suburban. As a result, a powerful and robust pickup was produced: a massive frame, a sturdy metal body, an independent suspension and a steel bumper.

After a while, in 2003, the company "General Motors" was presented to the third generation. Added a little electronics and changed the design. Now the new pickup has found a chrome grille, the front lights have changed too. The interior of the car has also changed: the instrument panel has become more modern, the seats are now fully adjustable in all directions, and the rear row of seats now folds in a horizontal position. The basic equipment includes an electrical package, as well as an updated climate and audio system. Passengers can now listen to the radio separately from the driver. There is an automatic shutdown of light after 10 minutes (the battery in such a machine will be very durable).

In the development of the third generation, engineers did not forget about the security system. The car is equipped with smart airbags. Why smart? It's simple: they can automatically adjust the size of the expansion, depending on the size of the driver and the impact force. And if there was a small and weak collision - the pillows will not open. But this does not end the safety of the pickup truck. The novelty has found a frame with special zones of deformation, which, during a collision, absorb all the impact energy. The body, in contrast to previous generations, has become 64 percent stronger, and, accordingly, safer.

SUV has a special stability system, which thanks to an intelligent drive distributes power along the axles of the car. Now he is not afraid of even the most dangerous maneuvers.

Let's sum up

Gmc Yukon - reviews, power and reliability of an American car for many years attract more and more new customers. This pickup immediately stands out among the gray mass of small cars with its cruising dimensions and solid design. Even at maximum speeds, the driver does not feel a different rumble and strange sounds in the cabin, and the independent suspension facilitates soft movement through the deepest pits and other irregularities.
