In the United States there are two primary organizations that publish crash and safety data for passenger vehicles. The first is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a branch of the US Government's Department of Transportation, while the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a non-profit testing organization that gets its funding from Automotive Insurance companies.
For the year 2012, the Yukon XI has an overall 4 of 5 star crash test rating. Other areas like, Front Passenger, And Side Passenger, have 5 of 5 star ratings.

The safety ratings of vehicles are found at sites like ConsumerReports.org which does their own tests and other car sites which use government tests. Edmunds.com includes these in their reviews of vehicles. The best website to find safety ratings and crash tests is http://www.nhtsa.gov/. Another great site that uses NHTSA information is http://www.safercar.gov/.
