The 2027 Jeep Grand Wagoneer produces 420 hp and tows up to 10,000 lbs, beating the Yukon on both counts. The Yukon counters with a larger 16.8-inch infotainment screen and an available diesel engine not offered in the Grand Wagoneer. This page maps out every key number so you can match the right truck to your family's needs, with Grand Wagoneer inventory available at ASA Auto Plaza.
The 2027 Grand Wagoneer is the stronger choice for buyers who prioritize towing, ground clearance, and interior luxury. Its 10,000-lb tow rating and 10-inch ground clearance are class-leading figures that the Yukon cannot match. The Yukon makes sense for buyers who want a proven V8 with an available diesel option, a slightly larger infotainment screen, or the hands-free Super Cruise driver assistance system on upper trims.

EPA fuel economy data for full-size SUVs
The Grand Wagoneer's Hurricane 3.0L twin-turbocharged inline-six produces 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque at just 3,500 rpm. That torque delivery comes in low in the rev range, which translates to strong pull from a standstill and confident passing power on the highway. The 8-speed automatic handles shifts smoothly, and the engine's twin-turbo configuration gives it output that far exceeds what most shoppers expect from a six-cylinder.
The Yukon's standard 5.3L V8 makes 355 hp and 383 lb-ft. That is a respectable number for a traditional pushrod V8, though it falls 65 hp and 85 lb-ft short of the Grand Wagoneer's figures. GMC does offer an available 6.2L V8 and a Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel on upper Yukon trims, giving buyers powertrain flexibility the Grand Wagoneer does not provide. The Yukon's 10-speed automatic offers two more ratios than the Wagoneer's 8-speed, which can help the V8 stay in its efficient operating range on the highway.
On fuel economy, the Grand Wagoneer returns 17 city / 24 hwy versus the Yukon's 15 city / 20 hwy. The Wagoneer's twin-turbo six uses premium gasoline, while the standard Yukon V8 runs on regular unleaded.
Both SUVs seat up to 8 passengers and offer three rows. The Grand Wagoneer measures 216.1 inches in length compared to the Yukon's 210.1 inches, giving it 6 extra inches of overall footprint. That translates into more cargo behind the third row: 27.9 cu ft in the Grand Wagoneer versus 25.5 cu ft in the Yukon. Behind the second row the Yukon edges ahead with 72.5 cu ft against the Grand Wagoneer's 70.8 cu ft.
Second-row legroom is generous in the Grand Wagoneer at 42.7 inches, with captain's chairs that offer power tilt and slide on every trim. Third-row legroom measures 36.6 inches, which is livable for adults on shorter trips.
The Grand Wagoneer's cabin finish escalates sharply through the trim lineup. Base trims use Capri leather-trimmed seats, the Limited steps up to Nappa leather, and the Summit Reserve adds Palermo leather, a suede headliner, a front console cooler, and natural walnut wood accents. The Yukon Denali Ultimate counters with available executive second-row seating, ventilated captain's chairs with massage, and stainless-steel Bose head-restraint speakers, though this level of content is limited to the highest trim only. Both vehicles offer a standard wireless charging pad.
The Yukon's 16.8-inch touchscreen is the largest display in this comparison by a notable margin. The Grand Wagoneer runs a 12-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, which is smaller but integrates wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, integrated navigation, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot on every trim. The Grand Wagoneer also adds Amazon Fire TV Built-In on available rear 10.1-inch entertainment screens, a household-style 115-volt power outlet, and a standard wireless charging pad from the base trim.
The available 23-speaker McIntosh MX1375 Reference System in the Grand Wagoneer Summit Reserve is a standout for audio quality. The Yukon Denali Ultimate answers with an 18-speaker Bose system.
On driver assistance, both vehicles cover the fundamentals: forward collision warning with automatic braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, and pedestrian detection. The Yukon adds available Super Cruise hands-free driving on compatible highways starting on the Denali trim. The Grand Wagoneer does not offer a hands-free driving feature in the verified U.S. spec. The Grand Wagoneer adds a standard FamCam interior rear-facing camera on Upland and above, drowsy driver detection on all trims, and standard parallel and perpendicular park assist on Upland and above.
Safety coverage is matched equally on warranties: both carry a 3-year / 36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Both vehicles share the same warranty structure, so ownership protection is equal on that measure. The Grand Wagoneer's stronger highway fuel economy gives it a real-world efficiency edge, though it requires premium gasoline, which partially offsets the MPG advantage at the pump depending on fuel prices in your area.
The Grand Wagoneer offers eight trims from the base model through to the Summit Reserve, covering a wide range of capability and luxury preferences. The Upland trim is notable for buyers who want genuine off-road hardware, including Quadra-Lift air suspension, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and a class-leading 10,000-lb tow rating tied to the HD Trailer Tow Package.
The Yukon's five-trim lineup is narrower, though the AT4 and AT4 Ultimate are purpose-built off-road configurations with skid plates, all-terrain tires, and Magnetic Ride Control that the comparable Grand Wagoneer Upland competes with directly.
Standard content is strong on both vehicles. The Grand Wagoneer includes three-zone climate control, a standard roof rack, heated and ventilated front seats, remote start, and a full suite of safety tech from the base trim. The Yukon Elevation includes heated front and second-row seats and a surround view camera as standard.
Your priority is maximum towing capacity (up to 10,000 lbs), a more fuel-efficient powertrain with stronger horsepower, deeper ground clearance for unpaved roads, or a luxury cabin that escalates to the Summit Reserve's suede headliner and 23-speaker McIntosh audio.
You prefer the proven simplicity of a traditional V8, want the option of a turbo-diesel engine, value the larger 16.8-inch infotainment display, or specifically want Super Cruise hands-free driving technology on a Denali or higher trim.
Families who plan to tow a boat, camper, or trailer frequently will find the Grand Wagoneer's 1,600-lb tow-rating advantage meaningful in day-to-day use. Buyers focused on technology features and hands-free driving may lean toward the Yukon Denali. Both are capable full-size SUVs with equal warranty backing, so the right answer comes down to which strengths matter most in your daily life.
