When the people of Weyburn, Estevan, Carlyle, Radville, and Regina need a big SUV with seating for up to eight, the refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL has to be a top contender. The most notable changes are at the front, with new headlights and a new grille design. The trim levels also get updated for 2025, and there’s a more powerful version of the diesel powerplant.
The 2025 GMC Yukon lineup offers five trim levels, and every one is a winner. The entry model has a superb standard specification, and the higher trims take this auspicious full-size SUV to new levels of high-tech comfort and capability. The lineup starts with the Elevation and then goes to the AT4, the all-new AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and the range-topping Denali Ultimate. Labeling vehicle models “Ultimate” is a brave move, especially when you already have the Denali specification. But these models really do deserve such headline-grabbing designations.
Three engines are still available for powering the 2025 GMC Yukon and 2025 GMC Yukon XL, and they can handle almost any application you’re likely to ask of them. The “smallest” of the engine options is a 5.3-litre V-8 that provides the GMC Yukon in Elevation and AT4 trim levels with 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque. A 6.2-litre V-8 is standard with the AT4 Ultimate, Denali, and Denali Ultimate, which develops 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. The final engine option is a 3.0-litre inline-six turbodiesel that gets a significant power upgrade for the new model year. Instead of the previous 277 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, the Duramax diesel engine now develops 305 horsepower and 495 lb.-ft. of torque. The Duramax diesel engine is an option for Denali and Denali Ultimate versions of the 2025 GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL. In all cases, the power from the Yukon’s engine goes to all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission.
The Yukon can accommodate up to eight people in non-Ultimate trim levels, and the maximum towing capacity is a seriously useful 3,810 kg. And even with all three rows of seats in use, the 2025 GMC Yukon has 722 litres of cargo volume behind the third-row seats. Of course, there’s even more space available in the long-wheelbase XL version of the 2025 GMC Yukon. And while many SUVs have third-row seats that are best reserved for small children on short journeys, the third-row seats in the Yukon have more legroom than the second-row seats in some rivals. Those in the third row of the Yukon enjoy 886 mm (34.9 inches) of legroom, while those in the GMC Yukon XL get 932 mm (36.7 inches).
A whole book could be written about the standard and available features, as almost every feature you could imagine having in your new SUV is standard or available. Although the key characteristic of the AT4 is its off-road capability, it also gets more than a few luxury appointments. These include massaging front seats, full-grain leather upholstery throughout the cabin, and open-pore-wood interior trim. The Denali Ultimate now offers second-row executive seating and an immersive 22-speaker Bose audio system. GM’s night vision with thermal object detection is now available for the GMC Yukon, and the infotainment system has a huge vertical 16.8-inch touchscreen. There’s even an 8.0-inch diagonal touchscreen in the rear of the GMC Yukon for operating the climate control back there.
Some will call the 2025 GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL luxury full-size SUVs, while others may not. But when you look at these immensely impressive vehicles’ specifications, style, and capability, it doesn’t matter either way. A Yukon is an obvious choice if you want a large SUV capable of almost anything.
