Today, GMC revealed the 2025 Yukon, the brand's flagship nameplate, with major technology upgrades, a bold exterior and thoughtfully refreshed interior design. The 2025 Yukon introduces the first-ever AT4 Ultimate trim, timed to celebrate the fifth anniversary of GMC's AT4 sub-brand.
"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," said Duncan Aldred, global vice president, Buick and GMC. "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."
Underpinned by an available 6.2L V8 engine2, the 2025 Yukon offers 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Also available across the lineup, including on AT4 and AT4 Ultimate for the first time, a 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine option offers customers 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque.3
Boldly refreshed - inside and out
As the flagship of the brand, the 2025 Yukon sets a new bar for GMC's distinctive and premium design language. The Yukon's interior blends a precisely crafted mix of luxury and technology for a world-class driver and passenger experience, while the elevated exterior design exudes a muscular yet refined character.
The centerpiece of the cabin is a 16.8-inch-diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment Center4 with a vertical interface, which allows users to customize the integration of maps, audio inputs, vehicle diagnostics and more into a diagonal screen display. The addition of an available 8-inch-diagonal rear climate control touchscreen also helps ensure a comfortable cabin environment for passengers.
The 2025 GMC Yukon exterior also commands attention with the application of unique grille patterns, liftgate badging, animated headlamps and taillamps, and an available panoramic sunroof delivers an open-air cabin experience.
