BASE PRICE RANGE: $38,700-$55,000*
WHAT'S NEW: An eclectic laundry list of changes for 2010 Yukons. The 4.8L engine is gone, as is the 4-sp gearbox. The 6.2L replaces the optional 6.0L engine on the Yukon XL. All Yukons gain OnStar 8.2, as well as an enhanced battery-saver mode. In addition, the 5.3Ls receive E85 capability and cam phasing. A Yukon version of the Tahoe's XFE is also available.
COOL FACT: GM's hybrid system allows the 6.0L V-8 to operate in its more economical V-4 mode for longer periods to improve overall mileage.
SUM UP: the suburban's plain sister.
