- The 2027 GMC Yukon will offer a supercharged 6.2-liter V8.
- Sourced from the Escalade-V, it produces 682 hp and 653 lb-ft.
- Could be limited to Ultimate versions of the AT4 or Denali.
The Cadillac Escalade-V is a beast that features a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine pumping out 682 hp (508 kW / 691 PS) and 653 lb-ft (885 Nm) of torque. However, it’s far from affordable as pricing starts at $168,000 before a $2,895 destination fee. If you want the larger ESV variant, you’ll need to shell out an additional $3,000.
Thankfully, a cheaper version appears to be in the works by GMC. According to Car & Driver, VIN documentation submitted to the government reveals the 2027 Yukon will offer four different engines, including the familiar 5.3- and 6.2-liter V8s as well as the excellent 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six. The big news is the supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8, which had been exclusive to Cadillac.

We can expect to learn more in the coming months, but the engine will presumably be an option on the range-topping Denali Ultimate and offered exclusively with four-wheel drive. With the current V8, pricing starts at $103,900.

The magazine also floated the possibility that the engine could be offered on the off-road focused AT4 Ultimate. That would be an interesting combination as the model would target a different audience than the Escalade-V.
While all three are large and luxurious, the AT4 comes equipped with a front skid plate and 20-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. Buyers will also find an air suspension that can be raised to provide an additional 2 inches (51 mm) of ground clearance when off-roading.
