GMC has unveiled the highly anticipated 2025 Yukon, introducing significant technology upgrades, a striking exterior redesign, and a refreshed, luxurious interior. As the brand’s flagship SUV, the 2025 Yukon sets a new standard with the debut of the first-ever AT4 Ultimate trim, marking the fifth anniversary of GMC’s rugged AT4 sub-brand.
Raising the Bar for GMC’s Reimagined SUV Lineup
Duncan Aldred, global vice president of Buick and GMC, emphasized the importance of the new Yukon: “Following the all-new GMC Acadia and next-gen GMC Terrain, the addition of the updated 2025 GMC Yukon completes GMC’s reimagined SUV lineup. We’re raising the bar on what our customers expect from GMC’s flagship, and the addition of the AT4 Ultimate trim fuses ruggedness and capability with craftsmanship and refinement.”
The 2025 Yukon offers impressive performance, with an available 6.2L V8 engine delivering 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission ensures a smooth driving experience. For those seeking even more efficiency, a 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine is available, offering 305 horsepower and an impressive 495 lb-ft of torque.
Refined Inside and Out
The 2025 Yukon showcases GMC’s premium design language, with a bold exterior featuring unique grille patterns, distinctive liftgate badging, and animated headlamps and taillamps. A panoramic sunroof adds to the commanding presence, providing an open-air experience for passengers.
Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in luxury and technology. The centerpiece is a 16.8-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment Center with a vertical interface, allowing drivers to customize their experience with maps, vehicle diagnostics, and entertainment features. Rear passengers benefit from an 8-inch rear climate control touchscreen, ensuring comfort throughout the journey.
