GMC Yukon Earns AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Award
Consumers pick based on overall ownership experience vs. competitors

2011-05-19

DETROIT – GMC Yukon took top honors in the full-size SUV category of AutoPacific’s 15th annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards, the Southern California-based automotive marketing and consulting firm announced Thursday.

“Vehicles like the GMC Yukon that score highest in the Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are delivering value and satisfaction across a wide range of attributes,” said George Peterson, president of AutoPacific. “The winners perform well in 48 separate categories that objectively measure the ownership experience.”

The awards are based on the firm’s survey of more than 68,000 vehicle owners.

Earlier this year, Yukon topped the full-size SUV category of IntelliChoice’s 2011 Best Overall Values of the Year (BOVY) awards, based on analysis of ownership costs, including depreciation, maintenance, repairs, fuel, fees, financing and insurance.

Automotive critics also laud the Yukon. Truck Trend magazine recently named GMC Yukon the “Best in Class 2011 Full-Size SUV,” citing the fuel-efficient hybrid model, active fuel management, up-to-nine-passenger seating and 8,200-pound towing capacity as strengths.

“A premium truck brand can still represent great value in the market place with outstanding resale values and the lowest cost of ownership,” said John Schwegman, U.S. vice president of GMC Marketing.
