The 2012 to 2014 GMC Yukon XL 1500 received a four-star overall rating from NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program for US-market vehicles. The large SUV earned five stars in frontal crash protection, five stars in side crash protection, and five stars in side pole crash protection. It received three stars in rollover resistance. NHTSA applies these ratings across model years until a major redesign occurs, so this assessment covers the entire 2012 to 2014 range.
