The 2025 GMC Yukon sets a new standard in full-size SUVs, combining cutting-edge technology, luxurious comfort, and robust performance. This latest iteration introduces the Elevation trim, offers an upgraded Denali Ultimate, and extends the Ultimate treatment to the rugged AT4. Whether you’re seeking adventure or luxury, the 2025 Yukon delivers on all fronts.
Elevation Trim: A New Beginning
GMC has replaced the SLE and SLT trims with the all-new Elevation trim, offering a more robust base model for Yukon enthusiasts. This trim introduces a fresh take on entry-level luxury, providing a blend of advanced features and a refined aesthetic. The Elevation trim is designed to give you everything you need in a full-size SUV without compromising on quality or style.
The AT4 Ultimate: Adventure Redefined
For those who crave adventure, the AT4 Ultimate is the perfect choice. This off-road-oriented trim comes equipped with 20-inch wheels and a four-corner adaptive air suspension that can raise the vehicle by two inches, enhancing its off-road capabilities. The front end features red tow hooks, a skid plate for underbody protection, and a rugged matte finish that adds to its commanding presence. Inside, the Obsidian Rush interior offers three rows of black full-grain leather, red stitching, and Ash Burl wood accents, creating a space that is both rugged and upscale.
The AT4 Ultimate is more than just a stylish off-roader; it’s also practical. It comes with the Terrain drive mode, exclusive to AT4, which includes one-pedal capability for precise off-road control. You can opt for the powerful 3.0-liter Duramax diesel engine, now delivering 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, making it an excellent choice for those who need serious towing power.
Denali Ultimate: The Pinnacle of Luxury
The Denali Ultimate continues to define what it means to be a luxury SUV. With available 24-inch eight-spoke machined wheels and standard 16-way powered heated and ventilated massaging front seats, this trim offers unparalleled comfort. The new Executive Seating option extends this luxury to the second row, allowing passengers to experience the same level of comfort with massaging seats.
Entertainment is also a key focus in the Denali Ultimate, with 8.0-inch screens integrated into the back of the front seat headrests, offering web browsing, music, and streaming services. The premium Bose stereo system, featuring up to 22 speakers, including in the headrests, ensures an immersive audio experience. The Warg Savage interior colorway, a sophisticated brown, complements the luxurious design, making the Denali Ultimate a top-tier choice for discerning buyers.
All-New Interior Design: Space and Technology
The 2025 Yukon boasts an entirely redesigned interior that maximizes space and integrates the latest technology. The horizontal design elements create a sense of openness, while the lowered trailing edge of the dashboard improves forward visibility. The 11.0-inch digital cluster screen provides ample space for vehicle data, including the Super Cruise hands-free driving assist system, now available across all trims and featuring trailering capability.
The massive 16.8-inch center screen is perfectly suited for the Yukon’s large interior, offering a user-friendly interface for navigation, entertainment, and vehicle controls. GMC has also reintroduced the column-mounted shifter, freeing up space on the center stack and contributing to a cleaner, more modern design. This by-wire shifter is intuitive, offering easy operation while preserving valuable interior space.
Enhanced Safety Features and Super Cruise Expansion
Safety has been a priority for GMC, and the 2025 Yukon reflects that with an expanded suite of standard safety features. These include automatic front pedestrian and bicycle braking, rear cross-traffic braking, side bicyclist alert, and intersection automatic emergency braking. Night vision is now available, providing alerts for pedestrians, animals, and other objects in low-light environments, displayed in the head-up display or digital cluster.
Super Cruise, GMC’s advanced hands-free driving assist system, is now available on all Yukon trims and has been updated to include trailering capabilities. With over 750,000 miles of mapped roads, the Yukon can handle long highway drives with ease. Additional new trailering technologies, such as blind-zone steering assist, transparent trailer view, trailer reverse trajectory, trailer tire health monitoring, and jackknife alert, make towing safer and more manageable.
