2025 GMC Yukon Gets A New Face
The most noticeable change to the 2025 GMC Yukon is its new face, but the most noteworthy is its loaded Denali Ultimate treatment.
The 2025 model year update packs in the new trim with 16-way powered front seats with heating, cooling, and massaging functionality. Meanwhile, second-row passengers are greeted with reclining captain’s chairs, and the entire interior is spruced up with open-pore wood and a 22-speaker Bose sound system.
There’s also 24-inch wheels because the big-wheel-big-SUV craze of the early 2000s apparently never left us. A new AT4 Ultimate trim will cater to off-road enthusiasts, mixing in the AT4’s more rugged styling with many of the luxury features mentioned above. For off-road use, buyers get 20-inch wheels, a front skid plate, air suspension, and all-terrain tires.
The Yukon’s three powertrains–a 5.3-liter V8, a 6.2-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter diesel inline-six–all carry over, but GMC will now offer the diesel sixer on all trims. Inside, the Yukon is the same, but different. There’s still tons of space, leather, and big ol’ screens. But now the latter comes in the form of a new 16.8-inch vertical screen featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
An optional rear 8-inch display for climate controls can be added for passengers too. GMC says the new Yukon will go on sale by the end of this year, but diesel powertrains will take a little longer to produce, with pricing announced closer to year’s end.
