The 2014 GMC Yukon Ranked Highest in Its Segment by the J.D. Power Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study, Notes Ferman Buick GMC

    TAMPA, FL, February 12, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The 2014 GMC Yukon, a full-size SUV that is known for its strong towing and hauling capabilities and comfortable cabin, (1) has ranked highest in its category in the APEAL study by J.D. Power after having already been recognized by the company in two other studies in 2014 (2).

The 2014 APEAL, which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study, examines what new car buyers like about their vehicle in the first 90 days of ownership. Consumers reply to questions regarding how gratifying their new vehicle is to own, and for the 2014 APEAL, more than 83,000 responses were taken into account (2).

The 2014 GMC Yukon has been ranked highest in its segment, and Ferman GMC of Tampa is also pleased to announce that the automaker's large SUV was also ranked highest in its segment in the 2014 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study and Vehicle Dependability Study earlier this year (2).

The automaker's vehicle is capable of hauling lots of passengers and cargo in comfort, and at the base, it comes equipped with a 5.3-liter V-8 engine that provides strong passing power. Consumers can also opt for the more powerful 6.2-liter V-8 when selecting any of the Denali trims, and both engines are mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission (3).

When driving the vehicle, Ferman GMC of Tampa would like to note that consumers can benefit from a comfortable ride and strong brakes as well as the vehicle's excellent towing capabilities (3).

On the inside, the Yukon offers solid-quality cabin furnishings as well as seating for up to nine passengers (1). Standard equipment on the base model includes a rearview camera and Bluetooth, and elements like leather upholstery and a navigation system are standard on the Yukon Denali models (3).
