"The 2012 GMC Yukon is a leading choice for a traditional large SUV thanks to its comfortable cabin and strong towing and hauling capabilities. But for many people, a large crossover SUV might work out better."

The Car Connection

"From a styling standpoint, the GMC Yukon is a handsome vehicle with a rather timeless design; the down side of that is that those not in the know might not be aware that you have a 2012 versus a previous model year though, and it's changed little in recent years. Inside, the Yukon is also very straightforward, with a somewhat more contoured look instead of the upright, macho, machine-shop look that has become the norm for pickup and SUV interiors."

US News/World Report

"But as truck-based SUVs go, the 2012 GMC Yukon is a good pick. Its interior is well-made, and its luxurious Denali trim offers one of the nicest interiors in any large SUV. Its ride is fairly smooth, and reviewers never want for more power, especially with the optional larger V8 engine. Though some test drivers note that base models don’t have very much space behind the third row, opting for a long-wheelbase XL model fixes that problem."

Fuel Economy Factor:

Fuel Economy Factor

-2

 

The Fuel Economy Factor influence to the Total Car Score is determined by first calculating a vehicle's average fuel economy number. This number is derived from the average miles-per-gallon figure a vehicle receives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) across all available drivetrains (engines, transmissions and driven wheels). The number is then compared to the average fuel economy number for the entire segment in which a vehicle competes. The difference between a vehicle's fuel economy average number and the segment's fuel economy average number is what decides whether the fuel economy factor pulls a vehicle's Total Car Score up or down, and by how much.


For instance, if a car's average fuel economy is 21 mpg and the entire segment's fuel economy average is 19 mpg that vehicle gets 2 points added to its Total Car Score.

How is the Total Car Score Calculated?

A vehicle’s Total Car Score is derived from 3rd party quantitative ratings. There are currently nine sources utilized for these 3rd party ratings. There is also a 10th factor, derived from a vehicle’s fuel economy rating that influences a vehicle’s Total Car Score.  
 
Although each of these nine sources uses a unique ratings system (i.e. numbers vs. bubbles vs. stars, etc.), we convert those systems into a simple percentage score with equal weighting for each of the nine sources.
