Vehicle Information
Enclave: For those yearning to make a statement on the road, Buick’s popular
luxury crossover gets available 20-inch wheels for 2010, as well as several
technologies that add value and convenience.
A USB port is included with premium radios. Located in the center console, it
allows customers to connect portable music with the vehicle sound system and
charge the batteries. In addition, a new rear backup camera features a screen
embedded in the inside rearview mirror, allowing customers to enjoy this option
even without the navigation radio.
The available navigation radio now includes XM NavTraffic, a real-time traffic
reporting system available in selected markets.
Enclave’s standard OnStar system includes enhanced emergency, OnStar Vehicle
Diagnostics and navigation capabilities. For example, OVD now monitors operation
of the StabiliTrak stability enhancement system.
The Enclave is available in CX and CXL models.
Lacrosse
Redesigned from the ground up, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse luxury sedan offers
all-wheel drive, a suite of advanced personal technologies and safety features,
and a choice of two fuel-saving V-6 engines.
“The new LaCrosse was created with great attention to detail, craftsmanship and
advanced technology,” said Susan Docherty, Buick-Pontiac-GMC vice president. “It
builds on the success of Enclave as the next step in Buick’s renaissance. And,
as with Enclave, our goal is to attract a whole new buyer to our dealerships for
LaCrosse.”
The 2010 LaCrosse is offered in three models - CX, CXL and CXS:
- CX – equipped with a new 3.0L direct injection V-6, premium cloth seats
and 17-inch wheels. The 3.0L engine generates 255 horsepower (190 kW) and 217
lb.-ft. of torque (294 Nm) and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
- CXL – also equipped with the new 3.0L direct injection V-6, adds
leather-appointed heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, fog lamps,
outside rearview mirror with LED turn indicators and puddle lamps, and 18-inch
alloy wheels. An advanced all-wheel-drive system with electronic limited-slip
differential (eLSD) is available. Electronic limited-slip differential splits
torque across the axle to whichever wheel has more grip to enhance control in
icy or wet conditions.
- CXS – equipped with a 3.6L direct injection V-6; real-time
active-dampening suspension; perforated, leather-appointed, heated and
ventilated seats, and chrome-plated 18-inch alloy wheels (19-inch optional with
the Touring package). The 3.6L engine is mated to a six-speed automatic
transmission, generating 280 horsepower (209 kW) and 259 lb.-ft. of torque (351
Nm).
Sculpted design
Buick’s long heritage of leading designs – such as the Y-Job Concept, the
Roadmaster and the Riviera – helped define American automobile design through
the years, according to Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design. Today,
Buick design is a product of a global team and resources.
Creative collaboration between designers in the United States and China, in
partnership with the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) as well as
chassis and body engineers in Europe, resulted in the first General Motors
vehicle to be created on three continents.
“The new LaCrosse is intended to represent modern elegance,” said Welburn.
“Throughout the design, you experience a balance of contrasts. Both the interior
and exterior have been designed with harmony in mind. The exterior balances
taut, sculpted lines with sensuous accents and surfaces. Inside, smoked chrome
accents, warm wood, first-class leather and materials combine with ice blue
ambient lighting to create an inviting environment.”
Luxurious interior experience
Inside, the interior is defined by a flowing, uninterrupted design theme that
wraps around the instrument and door panels. Attention to detail is evident
throughout the interior, including the analog instrument cluster, chrome offset
by dark woodgrain accents, and contrasting stitching on the instrument panel.
Buick’s signature QuietTuning – an engineering process to reduce, block and
absorb interior noise – provides a distraction-free passenger environment.
An unexpected, inviting touch is the ice blue ambient lighting throughout the
cabin from the center console, instrument panel and door handle pockets.
Intelligent personal technologies
The contemporary atmosphere of the cabin is accented with available digital
connectivity and personal technologies that include in-dash navigation,
Bluetooth, an auxiliary audio input and a USB port. Rear-seat passengers can
enjoy an available power rear-window sunshade and a DVD entertainment system
with two display screens integrated into the seatbacks.
LaCrosse’s intelligent technologies also work to deliver a 360-degree field of
vision behind the steering wheel, for a greater feeling of comfort, security and
safety. It starts with the available head-up display in the windshield, allowing
the driver to monitor speed while keeping his or her eyes on the road. At night,
available adaptive lighting can direct the high-intensity discharge headlight
beams up to 15 degrees for enhanced illumination of the road and its curves.
LaCrosse offers Side Blind Zone Alert technology that notifies the driver if a
vehicle in adjacent lanes is traveling in the driver’s blind spot. The available
rearview camera features a display integrated into the navigation system screen.
The technologies available on LaCrosse enhance a suite of standard safety
features, including front-, side- and roof-mounted head-curtain air bags, and
GM’s StabiliTrak stability- and traction-control system. The safety and security
of OnStar is also included for the first year of ownership.
Responsive performance
LaCrosse’s stiff body structure is the foundation for precise suspension tuning,
safety and a quiet ride. Buyers can choose from a family of efficient, direct
injection six-cylinder engines and a fuel-conserving six-speed automatic
transmission with tap-up/tap-down control.
The direct injection engines in the LaCrosse create more power with less fuel.
They also reduce vehicle emissions through greater combustion control; for
example, cold-start emissions are reduced by up to 25 percent.
LaCrosse is manufactured at GM’s Fairfax Assembly facility in Kansas City, Kan.
Lucerne : Buick’s full-size luxury sedan gets a refreshed exterior with
front and rear fascias, rocker panels and fog lamps previously available only on
the Lucerne Super model. Other changes include a different 18-inch chrome wheel
design on Lucerne Super.
Other enhancements include backlit gauges on the instrument panel cluster for
greater aesthetics and visibility, and available Bluetooth connectivity on the
Lucerne 1CX model. Three new exterior colors will debut; Pearl Frost Tricoat,
Light Bronze Metallic and Sand Beige Metallic. All colors except White Opal will
be available on the Lucerne Super. The Lucerne CXL Special Edition interior is
upgraded to the Custom Perforated Suede-appointed Lucerne Super interior with
heated seats standard on both.
The 2010 Lucerne is available in CX, CXL, CXL Special Edition and Super models.
Acadia
GMC’s popular, eight-passenger Acadia continues to win over customers seeking
the spaciousness and capability of an SUV with a smooth ride and responsive
handling of a crossover. Powered by a direct injected 3.6L V-6, it is offered in
SLE and SLT trims. All-wheel drive and SLT-1 and SLT-2 equipment packages are
available. A comprehensive safety system includes six standard air bags and
standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with rollover
mitigation technology.
For 2010, Acadia adds available 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, a USB interface for
premium radios, OnStar 8.2, as well as new exterior and interior colors. XM
NavTraffic is included with the navigation radio.
Canyon
Changes to the rugged yet refined 2010 Canyon pickup include standard head
curtain side air bags on all models, three new exterior colors and an expansion
of the ZQ8 Sport Suspension package to a greater variety of models and equipment
groups.
Envoy
Changes to the 2009 GMC Envoy and Envoy Denali models are few, but customers
will appreciate the new Bluetooth wireless capability for safer, hands-free
phone calls. It is available with Envoy’s OnStar 8.0 system.
Also new for ’09 are three exterior colors: Sand Beige Metallic, Quicksilver
Metallic and Silver-Green Metallic. They replace Medium Brown Metallic, Liquid
Silver Metallic and Silver Mist Metallic, respectively.
Envoy lineup
Envoy and Envoy Denali have a roomy, midsize package that rides on a 113-inch
wheelbase (2,869 mm). There is 80.1 cubic feet (2,268 L) of cargo space when the
rear seat is folded. Both models are available in 2WD and Autotrac 4WD models.
Available in SLE and SLT trims, Envoy standard features include air
conditioning, dual-zone climate control, XM Satellite Radio, power locks and
windows, and remote keyless entry; leather seating is standard on SLT. Amenities
such as adjustable pedals, assist steps, a sunroof, Bose premium sound,
rear-seat DVD entertainment system and touchscreen navigation are also
available.
Envoy Denali takes GMC’s midsize SUV platform to the pinnacle of comfort and
style, with specific design cues – including the iconic chrome grille – standard
18-inch wheels and tires and a host of standard amenities.
Powertrain details
The flagship Envoy Denali has a powerful, all-aluminum Vortec 5.3L V-8. It
delivers 300 horsepower (224 kW)* and 321 lb.-ft. of torque (435 Nm),* across a
broad torque range. The result is segment-leading standard towing capability –
up to 6,600 pounds (2,994 kg) with 2WD models.
The Vortec 5.3L engine has GM’s fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology,
which enables fuel economy gains up to 5 percent in certain light-load driving
conditions by reducing the number of cylinders engaged in the combustion
process. A sophisticated, next-generation engine controller determines when to
deactivate cylinders, allowing the engine to maintain vehicle speed in
lighter-load conditions – such as highway cruising. When the cylinders are
deactivated, the engine effectively operates as a V-4, with alternate cylinders
on each cylinder bank disabled. The engine seamlessly returns to V-8 mode the
instant the controller determines the vehicle speed or load requires additional
power.
The standard engine on Envoy is the award-winning Vortec 4.2L 24-valve,
dual-overhead-cam inline six-cylinder engine. It is rated at 285 horsepower (213
kW)* and 276 lb-ft. (374 Nm)* of torque, and provides the muscular yet smooth
performance of many V-8 engines with the fuel efficiency of a six-cylinder.
Both engines feature new regulated voltage control, which enhances fuel economy
by reducing the load on the engine required to drive the alternator in certain
conditions. The engines are coupled to the rugged Hydra-Matic 4L60
electronically controlled four-speed transmission.
Chassis and suspension
The Envoy lineup is built on a robust, perimeter-frame foundation that enhances
its capabilities. A twin A-arm suspension is in the front, with a thick
stabilizer bar to minimize body roll. The rear suspension features a solid axle
with five-link location, with a stabilizer bar.
A long, 113-inch (2,869 mm) wheelbase stretches between the Envoy’s wheels,
giving it a smooth ride, particularly over choppy pavement or unpaved roads. A
rack-and-pinion steering system responds quickly to driver inputs and delivers
good feedback.
The standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system and integrated
traction control system enhance handling control. Large, low-drag front
disc/rear drum brakes with standard ABS provide confident stopping power.
The Envoy Denali has a standard, air-adjustable load-leveling suspension system
– including onboard air compressor and inflator kit – and locking rear
differential. The locking axle is also available on SLE and SLT models.
Standard 17-inch wheels and tires come with Envoy SLE with 18-inch rolling stock
on SLT and Envoy Denali. Twenty-inch, six-spoke polished aluminum wheels are
available on Denali 2WD models.
Safety features
Head curtain side air bags are standard on all models.They inflate from the roof
rail between the A-pillar and side window header; the air bag is designed to
deploy in certain moderate to severe side impacts, to help provide protection
for front- and second-row outboard passengers.
The head curtain side air bags feature an integral rollover protection sensing
system that helps protect occupants in a rollover event by triggering both the
side curtain air bags and safety belt pretensioners. The rollover-sensing
module, on the center tunnel under the rear seat, uses a complex algorithm based
on lateral and vertical accelerations, roll rate and vehicle speed to determine
whether to deploy the safety systems.
StabiliTrak electronic stability control system and GM’s tire pressure
monitoring system are also standard on all models. StabiliTrak helps drivers
maintain control during sudden maneuvers or low traction conditions by using a
comprehensive series of sensors to measure acceleration, deceleration, steering
angle and yaw rate. By monitoring these inputs, the system automatically
controls the vehicle to help maintain the driver’s intended path when a
measurable deviation from the intended course is detected. The system maintains
control by regulating vehicle acceleration or applying the brakes at any wheel.
Additional Envoy safety features include:
- Three-point safety belts in all seating positions
- Dual-stage frontal air bags
- GM’s passenger sensing system (PSS)
- Push-pull power window switches
- LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system for child safety seats
- Enhanced passenger seat belt reminder system
- Low-drag brakes
All models feature OnStar 8.0 that includes Advanced Crash Response System,
making crash data available to 911 centers to potentially dispatch the
appropriate life-saving personnel and equipment to crash scenes faster. AACN
does not require air bag deployment.
Envoy and Envoy Denali are covered by GM’s five-year/100,000-mile powertrain
warranty and three years/36,000 miles for non-powertrain components – the best
coverage in America.
*SAE certified.
Sierra
An industry leader in fuel economy, capability and performance, the broad GMC
Sierra lineup includes everything from job-ready Work Truck models to the unique
combination of performance and luxury that is the Sierra Denali.
For 2010, the Sierra 1500’s 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.2L V-8 engines offer E85
capability, while the 4.8L and 5.3L engines now feature variable valve timing. A
six-speed automatic transmission is added to regular and extended cab models
with the 5.3L V-8 (previously it was offered only on crew cab models); and all
5.3L-equipped models feature a standard 3.08 axle ratio that enhances fuel
economy.
Additional changes for 2010 include side curtain air bags and seat-mounted side
air bags made standard on all models, a USB port included on all but base
radios, expanded availability of the rearview camera system and two new exterior
colors.
Sierra HD
Sierra heavy-duty trucks are offered in a range of extremely capable 2500HD
(three-quarter-ton) and 3500HD (one-ton) models. They’re designed for hauling
everything from a construction crew and their equipment to race car trailers,
horse trailers and more.
Sierra heavy-duty trucks are available in Work Truck, SLE and SLT trims. The
range of configurations – three cab styles, three cargo box styles and five
wheelbase lengths – delivers tremendous choice. Some full-size truck
manufacturers do not even offer three-quarter-ton or one-ton heavy-duty trucks.
Among those that do, the Sierra HD pickups offer many segment-best capabilities,
including 18,500-pound (8,392 kg) gross combined vehicle weight rating for
vehicles with a gas V-8 and a 13,000-pound (5,897 kg) conventional trailer
weight rating enabled by a larger-capacity trailer hitch platform. Maximum
towing capacity is 16,500 pounds (7,484 kg), when equipped with a fifth-wheel
hitch.
Changes for 2010 are minor and include a pair of new exterior colors and the
inclusion of a USB port on all but the base radio.
Sierra Hybrid
The GMC Sierra Hybrid is a powerful, full-size pickup that achieves 40-percent
greater city fuel economy and a 25-percent improvement in overall fuel economy
than non-hybrid models, while delivering the capability expected of a full-size
truck – including a 6,100-pound (2,767 kg) towing capacity.
Partnering General Motors’ patented two-mode hybrid system and a powerful 6.0L
gas V-8, the Sierra Hybrid delivers highly efficient performance, including
all-electric driving up to 30 mph (48 km/h). That saves fuel even when the truck
is fully loaded or towing a trailer.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for both 2WD and 4WD models is 21 mpg in the city and
22 on the highway. With the 26-gallon (98 L) fuel tank, Sierra Hybrid delivers a
cruising range of more than 500 miles.
The Sierra Hybrid is offered in the Crew Cab body style on both 2WD and 4WD
models. Each model is equipped with several standard, popular features,
including StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, a locking rear axle
and a trailering package. Sierra Hybrid also offers dual-stage frontal air bags
and head curtain side air bags, and it is the only full-size truck with
five-star side-impact ratings in federal crash tests.
Hybrid details
The Sierra Hybrid’s fuel-saving performance is derived from GM’s advanced
Electrically Variable Transmission (EVT) and 300-volt nickel-metal hydride
Energy Storage System (ESS), which work with the standard 6.0L V-8 gasoline
engine with Active Fuel Management (AFM) and late intake valve closing (LIVC)
technology. GM’s hybrid system not only enables the Sierra to launch and drive
up to 30 mph on electricity alone, it allows the Vortec 6.0L V-8 engine to
operate in its more economical V-4 mode for longer periods.
As part of the vehicle’s emission control system, the ESS is warranted for eight
years/100,000 miles.
In the Sierra Hybrid, the hybrid system itself generates the electricity used to
propel the vehicle. When the brakes are applied or the vehicle is coasting, the
electric motors within the hybrid system create electricity that is stored in
the 300-volt battery. This stored energy moves the vehicle and the regenerative
braking cycle is renewed.
The hybrid system provides seamless, dependable power on demand in an efficient
package. In fact, its electric motor is less than half the size of those in
single-mode hybrid systems. This technology was developed and is still used in
fleets of hybrid transit buses in more than 70 North American and European
cities. Scaled down for use in passenger vehicles, the two-mode system delivers
fuel savings where it is needed most – in large vehicles with high levels of
capability. The system was first introduced on the 2008 Yukon Hybrid. It is a
core part of GM’s energy diversity efforts, centered on reducing dependence on
petroleum, improving fuel economy, reducing emissions and minimizing the
automobile’s impact on the environment.
Quiet and smooth
Integration of the hybrid system on the Sierra is seamless – the battery pack is
beneath the rear seat – and delivers a quiet driving experience. Contributors to
this include:
- New exhaust system and resonator tuned for the 6.0L engine’s Active Fuel
Management operation
- Additional engine intake induction tuning for reduced interior noise and
pleasing sound quality
- Low-rolling resistance, “quiet-tuned” P265/65R18 tires for reduced road noise
- Electrically driven 300-volt air conditioning compressor reduces vibration and
allows the standard, tri-zone HVAC system to cool the passenger compartment even
when the gasoline engine is shut off
- Electrically driven 42-volt variable-assist power steering reduces vibration and
provides up to a 0.5-mpg fuel economy improvement by reducing parasitic losses
common in belt-driven hydraulic systems
- Energy Storage System (ESS) cooling system internal fan is tuned to be quiet at
low vehicle speeds.
Along with quietness, the Sierra Hybrid also delivers exceptional driving
smoothness, thanks to specifically tuned shocks for its Z85 suspension and a
hydraulic body mount. Located on the passenger side of the chassis, the
hydraulic mount provides a dramatic improvement in highway driving smoothness,
particularly on rough or choppy road surfaces.
Trailering performance
In addition to increased fuel economy, the Sierra Hybrid’s electrically variable
transmission also provides tremendous trailering capability, enhancing driving
smoothness and quality when towing. Towing capacity is 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg)
with 2WD models and 5900 pounds (2,676 kg) with 4WD models.
Electric drive is enabled up to approximately 30 mph (48 km/h), saving fuel even
when the truck is towing a trailer.
The EVT incorporates grade braking and tap up/tap down shift control. It also
benefits towing on curves or lower-speed back roads, as exceptionally smooth
gear transitions eliminate the “shift shock” torque disruption that can occur
during abrupt shifts, such as when slowing or braking.
In addition to the eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on the Sierra Hybrid’s
Energy Storage System, GM's five-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
continues to make GM a better choice for customers. GM's coverage focuses on the
complete ownership experience and includes other provisions that competitors do
not offer, including transferability to the next owner, more complete coverage
of parts, and coverage for new and certified used vehicles. In addition, GM
offers complementary courtesy transportation and roadside assistance.
Terrain
GMC’s all-new 2010 Terrain is a five-passenger crossover SUV that blends bold
styling with fuel efficiency and premium features.
“The new Terrain brings GMC’s history of innovation and engineering excellence
into a smaller, fuel-efficient package for today’s buyer,” said Susan Docherty,
Buick-GMC vice president. “The capability attributes that make a vehicle a GMC
are ingrained in Terrain, making it an appealing choice for existing traditional
SUV customers who are looking for distinctive styling and increased efficiency.”
A new, 2.4L four-cylinder engine that features direct injection is expected to
deliver best-in-segment, EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of 32 mpg. Maximum
fuel economy is achieved in part with an “eco” mode that is activated via a
console-mounted button. When engaged, it lowers the torque converter lockup
speed to 1,125 rpm to help save fuel on models equipped with the 2.4L engine.
A 3.0L DOHC direct injected V-6 engine delivering 264 horsepower (197 kW) will
be optional. Both engines are mated to efficiency-enhancing six-speed automatic
transmissions and offer a refined, confident driving experience.
Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models are offered in SLE and SLT trim
levels. A comprehensive list of standard and available features includes
purposeful technologies such as:
- Standard rear-vision camera
- Programmable power rear liftgate
- Bluetooth hands-free phone capability
- MultiFlex sliding rear seat that increases passenger comfort or provides optimal
cargo space
- Remote vehicle start
- USB audio connectivity; MP3 playback
- Seven-inch touch screen navigation system and a 40-gigabyte hard drive
- DVD-based rear-seat entertainment system with two independent screens
- Standard OnStar and XM Satellite Radio.
Segment-best safety is anticipated, with features that include four-wheel disc
brakes with StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction control, as
well as six standard air bags: dual frontal air bags; head curtain side air bags
and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags. OnStar with one-year Safe and
Sound service is also standard.
Bold styling
Terrain has a balanced, athletic stance and offers a commanding view of the
road. Its design is characterized by bold, muscular fender flares, representing
GMC’s aesthetic. Surfacing is angular yet refined, with a strong and capable
front-end appearance that features precise, squared-off edges.
“We wanted to carve the GMC Terrain away from the pack and establish its
identity as a powerful, fresh crossover SUV with a confident and strong stance,”
said John Cafaro Jr., director of exterior design, Global Crossover Vehicles.
“Everything about the Terrain communicates a sense of tailored toughness and
passionate craftsmanship.”
Additional design features include a unique, three-element grille that is
accented by a prominent chrome surround and projector-beam headlamps mounted in
large, rectangular housings with chrome accents.
Interior details and flexibility
The Terrain’s rich, premium interior is influenced by industrial sculpture and
exudes refinement exemplified by contrasting stitching and fine materials that
create a structured look throughout the cabin. A “floating” center stack,
highlighted by warm ambient lighting, houses ergonomic comfort and convenience
controls.
The Terrain also features great attention to detail, with smart use of storage
space and compartments that are suitable for a variety of items. They include an
oversized glove box, a closed storage area in the instrument panel above the
center stack, a closed storage compartment under the center armrest large enough
for a laptop computer, and two-tier storage in the doors.
Terrain’s seats were developed to provide outstanding comfort. The standard
MultiFlex sliding rear seat can be moved fore or aft nearly eight inches (200
mm), providing increased passenger comfort or greater rear cargo capacity. The
60/40-split rear seatback offers additional configurations for passengers and
cargo. The rear cargo area offers 31.6 cubic feet (894 liters) of storage, as
well as one of the Terrain’s four auxiliary power outlets.
Confident and agile driving experience
Two new engines are offered on all Terrain models, each with fuel-saving direct
injection and variable valve timing technology. Vehicle highlights include:
- New 3.0L DOHC direct injected V-6 engine rated at 264 horsepower (197 kW), which
delivers an EPA-estimated 25 mpg highway, 17 mpg city
- New 2.4L Ecotec direct injected I-4 engine rated at 182 horsepower (136 kW) that
delivers an estimated 32 mpg highway, 22 mpg city (EPA certification pending)
- Driving range of more than 500 miles (800 km) with both engines means
less-frequent fill-ups.
The powertrains are mounted on a rigid, body-integral structure, with
single-piece body side stampings and targeted applications of high-strength
steel. It is the foundation of a confident driving experience that is both
smooth and responsive.
GM’s first application of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology is used on
2.4L-equipped models. ANC uses microphones to detect booming sounds inside the
vehicle and sends counteracting sound waves through the audio system’s speakers,
ensuring a quiet driving experience at almost all vehicle speeds.
The Terrain rides on a 112.5-inch (2,857 mm) wheelbase and features a four-wheel
independent suspension system, with wide front and rear tracks that enhance ride
and handling. A family of 17-inch, 18-inch aluminum and 19-inch chrome-clad
wheels is available.
Terrain’s rack-mounted electric power steering system provides greater fuel
efficiency on four-cylinder-equipped models, saving nearly 11 miles per tank of
gas.
GMC Terrain is produced at the CAMI assembly facility in Ingersoll, Ontario.
Yukon
The Yukon and Yukon XL family of full-size SUVs continues to offer performance,
capability and segment-leading fuel economy. Yukon Denali models are
distinguished with unique exterior design cues, including a signature honeycomb
chrome grille. Denali-exclusive headlamps and taillamps further the jeweled look
of these special Yukon models.
Changes for 2010 that enhance the lineup’s efficiency include variable valve
timing on models with the 5.3L engine, as well as Active Fuel Management and a
“taller” 3.08 axle ratio on Denali models. Additionally, FlexFuel capability is
added to the 5.3L engines.
The Yukon XFE model that was introduced during the 2009 model year returns,
offering 21 mpg on the highway. Additional product changes include two new
exterior colors, USB ports on the radios and a standard single-speed transfer
case on 4WD models. (A two-speed transfer case is optional).
