The GMC Yukon is getting a tech-forward updated for 2025 aimed at making it the “Ultimate” full-size SUV.
The 2025 Yukon features updated exterior styling highlighted by new lights and grilles and will be offered with the model’s optional 305 hp turbocharged 3.0-liter straight six diesel engine across the lineup of Elevation, AT4 and Denali trims.
A 355 hp 5.3-liter V8 remains standard on the Elevation and off-road AT4 while a 420 hp 6.2-liter V8 is optional on the AT4 and luxury Denali.
The interior has been redesigned with a new eight-inch digital instrument cluster and 16.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system display like the one used in the electric GMC Sierra EV pickup. A secondary touchscreen climate control interface is available for the second row on some configurations along with seatback entertainment screens.

GMC has also updated the Yukon’s electronic driver aids with improved pedestrian and bicyclist detecting emergency brakes and alerts along with adding GM’s Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system as an option or standard equipment on all trims.
A new AT4 Ultimate joins the lineup and brings a front skid plate, all-terrain tires on 20-inch wheels, an air suspension and full grain leather and wood interior trim to the rugged model. The Denali Ultimate now has 24-inch laser-etched wheels, massaging front seats, “Executive Seating” second-row captain’s chairs and a 22-speaker Bose audio system.
