GMC has unveiled the 2025 Yukon, a refresh of their full-size SUV that boasts a more luxurious interior, a significant power boost for the diesel option, and the brand-new Yukon AT4 Ultimate trim – a beast designed to conquer any terrain.
Bigger and Better Tech Takes Center Stage
The most striking update for the 2025 Yukon is the interior overhaul. Gone is the button shifter, replaced by a sleek and modern electronic version. Dominating the dashboard is a massive 16.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This behemoth runs the latest Android Automotive software, ensuring a familiar and intuitive user experience.
Android Automotive brings a host of features to the Yukon, including seamless integration with Google Assistant and Google Maps. Passengers won't be left out either, as the Yukon offers an available rear-seat entertainment system with even more screens.
Powertrains: Familiar Options with a Diesel Delight
The 2025 GMC Yukon carries over the familiar engine options: a 5.3L V8 as standard, with a powerful 6.2L V8 available for those seeking extra muscle. However, the biggest news lies under the hood of the GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate and GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate trims. The 3.0L Duramax turbodiesel engine has received a significant upgrade, now producing 305 horsepower (up from 277) and a whopping 495 lb-ft of torque (up from 460). This translates to impressive towing capability and effortless highway cruising.
GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate: The Off-Road Conqueror
For those with a thirst for adventure, the 2025 Yukon introduces the AT4 Ultimate trim. This off-road-focused variant boasts a host of features designed to tackle any trail:
- Standard 6.2L V8 engine for ample power
- Four-corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension for superior ground clearance and handling
- 20-inch all-terrain tires for superior grip on loose surfaces
- Unique front fascia with red recovery hooks for a bolder look
- Advanced towing package for hauling heavy loads with ease
