2025 GMC Yukon: Striking Redesign, New Engines, and Advanced Tech Features

The 2025 GMC Yukon arrives with a bold new look and impressive upgrades, aiming to redefine the full-size SUV market. This mid-cycle refresh of GMC’s fifth-generation Yukon showcases a range of exciting changes, including an updated exterior design, a reimagined interior, and cutting-edge technology that enhances both driving and towing capabilities.

One of the standout features of the forthcoming Yukon is its refreshed styling. The front and rear fascias have been redesigned to offer a more aggressive and refined appearance, with a striking grille, new LED headlamps, and updated taillights. The overall effect is a modern, commanding presence on the road, maintaining the Yukon’s signature ruggedness while adding a more contemporary feel.

Under the hood, the GMC Yukon offers three engine options, providing a blend of power and efficiency tailored to different driving needs. The lineup starts with the 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, which produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, available on the entry-level Elevation and off-road-oriented AT4 trims. For those seeking more power, the 6.2L V8 L87 engine delivers an impressive 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, which is standard on the new AT4 Ultimate and Denali Ultimate trims and optionally available on the AT4.

The most notable addition to the Yukon’s powertrain options is the new 3.0L I6 LZ0 Duramax turbodiesel engine, offering 305 horsepower and a remarkable 495 lb-ft of torque. This engine is available across all five trim levels but requires specific package configurations to be selected depending on the trim. For example, while the AT4 Ultimate and Denali Ultimate trims can opt for the diesel engine without extra prerequisites, other trims require additional packages like Super Cruise or advanced technology upgrades.

The Yukon features a revamped cockpit designed to elevate comfort and convenience. The new interior includes a larger infotainment display, updated digital instrumentation, and high-quality materials that create a more premium atmosphere. Enhanced connectivity options and the latest version of GMC’s intuitive infotainment system ensure that drivers and passengers remain connected and entertained on every journey.

Built on the reliable GM T1 platform, which has underpinned the Yukon since the 2021 model year, the 2025 version retains its solid foundation while offering new features that enhance performance and capability. The 2025 GMC Yukon production will begin on October 7th, 2024, at the GM Arlington Assembly plant in Texas, alongside other flagship GM SUVs like the Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Suburban, and Cadillac Escalade.

With its refreshed design, versatile engine lineup, and innovative technology, the 2025 GMC Yukon is poised to significantly impact the SUV market, catering to a wide range of drivers and lifestyles.
