2011 GMC Yukon Awarded Best Overall Value of the Year - SUV

Since 1986 IntelliChoice has been the market leader in ownership costs and car value analysis and each year they release a list of the Best Overall Value of the Year vehicles based on careful and practical analysis of ownership costs. These ownership costs include depreciation, maintenance, repairs, fuel, fees, financing and insurance. For 2011 the GMC Yukon was awarded Best Overall Value of the Year for the full-size SUV segment.

This honor by IntelliChoice confirms Consumer Guide’s opinion that the GMC Yukon is a “best buy.” According to the general manager of GMC, “Today’s consumers are looking for vehicles that will provide the best value for their money, which is what we strive to accomplish with GMC vehicles.”

With the growing economy consumers are re-entering the buyer’s market, yet because the economy is still slowing recovering consumers are looking for vehicles that will provide them the most value for the longest period of time. If the consumer is looking for a full-size SUV, the GMC Yukon is the vehicle that will do that for them.
