Year to Year Changes
1993 GMC Yukon:
Yukon's automatic transmission gained electronic shift controls and a second-gear start feature. To reduce noise, the engine fan no longer engaged upon start-up. A new sport package called Yukon GT, included monochromatic exterior trim and a color-keyed grille, plus wheelarch flares.
1994 GMC Yukon:
An optional turbodiesel engine arrived in 1994. New safety features included side door guard beams, plus a center high-mounted stoplamp mounted in the roof.
1995 GMC Yukon:
Chevrolet's version changed from Blazer to Tahoe for 1995, but GMC's stuck with Yukon. A driver-side airbag was installed in a revamped interior, and a 4-door mate to the 2-door arrived in spring 1995. The 4-door's wheelbase was six inches longer than the 2-door's, it measured 10.6 inches longer overall, and the spare tire went under the body to provide extra cargo space. Unlike the 2-door, it was available with either 2WD or 4WD. Buyers of either body style could choose between a bottom-hinged tailgate (with separate-opening top-hinged rear window), or two side-hinged rear panel doors.
1996 GMC Yukon:
The standard V8 jumped to 250 horsepower for '96. Daytime running lights were added. Two-door models now were available with either 2WD or 4WD. A 5-speed manual transmission no longer was available.
1997 GMC Yukon:
A passenger-side airbag went into in '97 models, and the standard gasoline engine gained five horsepower. A new center console with bucket seats contained a fold-out writing surface, and a new switch in the cargo area controlled the power door locks.
1998 GMC Yukon:
The 2-door and diesel engine were history this year, and GMC added a top-level trim model called Denali. It added a full-time 4WD system called AutoTrac and loads of luxury goodies.
1999 GMC Yukon:
Yukon and Denali saw no changes for 1999 as an all-new model was in the works.
2000 GMC Yukon:
Yukons were redesigned for 2000, but the Denali continued for 2000 in its previous form. GM's OnStar communications system was standard.
