Year to Year Changes
1993 GMC Yukon:
A new transmission was one of few alterations for 1993, gaining electronic shift controls plus a second-gear start feature that increased traction on slippery surfaces.
1994 GMC Yukon:
A turbodiesel V8 engine returned in 1994. Side door-guard beams and a center high-mount stoplamp were installed.
1995 GMC Yukon:
A driver-side airbag was added for 1995, in a revised interior with recontoured seats. The turbodiesel engine was now available in the 1500 series. The standard V8 engine lost 10 horsepower.
1996 GMC Yukon:
More potent Vortec engines joined for '96. The 5.7-liter V8 leaped from 200 to 250 horsepower, while the 7.4-liter went from 230 to 290 horses. Pushbutton engagement for the 4WD system became available.
1997 GMC Yukon:
A passenger-side airbag joined the driver's airbag for '97. A new button in the cargo area controlled power door locks.
1998 GMC Yukon:
GMC added a full-time 4WD system, standard anti-theft system, and optional satellite tracking system for 1998. Called AutoTrac, the new 4WD replaced the part-time system but kept the two-speed transfer case for off-road driving.
1999 GMC Yukon:
GM's biggest wagon was all but unchanged for '99 pending the arrival of a redesigned 2000 model, to be known as the Yukon XL rather than the Suburban.
