Meet the Upscale 2025 GMC Yukon

In terms of luxury, the GMC Yukon has traditionally been sandwiched between the Chevy Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade. Now, though, thanks to a tweaked exterior design, refreshed interior, and enhanced technology, the Yukon moves further upmarket for the 2025 model year.  

The Best Engines Money Can Buy 

The 2025 GMC Yukon is still available with three of the best engines anyone can get in a vehicle. The standard engine is the 5.3-liter Vortec V8 that has earned the reputation of being both reliable and perfectly powerful for everyday tasks. The 5.3-liter produces 355 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque. Stepping up to the 6.2-liter V8 gets you an engine that is beloved, especially among the Denali crowd. With 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, the 6.2 offers Corvette-like sound and oomph. Finally, for those diesel-lovers who do lots of towing, there is the 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six that delivers 305 horsepower and a whopping 495 lb-ft of torque. All engines are paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission.  

Trim Levels and Pricing 

The 2025 Yukon is available to you in five different trim levels that include the base Elevation model, AT4, Denali, AT4 Ultimate, and Denali Ultimate. The AT4 models are ideal for those who do some off-roading or need rugged vehicles to handle their hobbies and interests, while the Denali models appeal to those who want the most luxury they can get. The updated starting MSRP for each trim level is as follows:  

• Elevation: $68,895 

• AT4: $75,695 

• Denali: $78,995 

• AT4 Ultimate: $95,795 

• Denali Ultimate: $101,795 

Cargo Capacity and the Yukon XL 

For those customers who need extra room, the Yukon XL tacks on an additional $3,000 to the price but adds an extra 15 inches of total length—13 extra inches between the axles alone. Thanks to this extra space, the third row gets 1.8 inches more legroom. The standard Yukon is quite large when it comes to cargo capacity, with 25.5 cubic feet behind the third-row seats, 72.6 cubic feet with them folded, and 122.9 when the second and third rows are folded. The XL, however, has 41.5 cubic feet behind the third row, 93.8 when the last row is folded, and 144.7 when both rear rows are down.  

Interior Features 

The interior of the new Yukon is where things really shine, with the main points being the all-new 16.8-inch infotainment touchscreen display with Google Built-In and an 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster display. If you prefer to use your phone as your main content source, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard. Even the second row gets an 8.0-inch screen to change climate control settings. The driver and front passenger get a new wireless phone charger. All passengers will love the 10-speaker Bose sound system that can be optioned to an 18- or 22-speaker system. Front and second-row heated seats are standard, as is a heated steering wheel. The optional rear-seat media system gives rear-seat passengers individual 12.6-inch displays that they can use to stream their own content. Additionally, two HDMI ports allow users to attach gaming consoles or laptops to the screens.  

Only the Best Technology and Safety Features 

Technology and safety are where the 2025 GMC Yukon absolutely shines, with an available Night Vision system that uses thermal object detection to differentiate between people and animals, showing alerts to the driver on the head-up display and the gauge cluster display. Standard safety equipment on all Yukon models includes Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Forward Collision Alert, High-Definition Surround Vision, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, IntelliBeam automatic high beams, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, Safety Alert Seat, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Side Bicyclist Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Reverse Automatic Braking, and Traffic Sign Recognition. 

Excellent Towing Capacity and Technology 

If you need a tow vehicle, there isn’t another vehicle like the Yukon. Whether you’re a beginner or expert at towing, available towing features make everything so much easier and more seamless. The maximum towing capacity is 8,400 pounds and available features include Blind Zone Steering Assist, Transparent Trailer View, Trailer Reverse Trajectory, Trailer Tire Health, Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Jackknife Alert, and more.  

Super Cruise 

You absolutely cannot talk about a GMC truck or SUV without mentioning the brilliance of Super Cruise, the out-of-this-world advanced driver safety technology. Super Cruise allows for true hands-free driving, letting the Yukon do all the work. Need to change lanes? Just use your turn signal and your GMC will move over safely for you. With more than 750,000 miles of roads throughout America and Canada mapped, Super Cruise is the most advanced hands-free system on the market today.
