The redesigned and upgraded 2025 GMC Yukon has just been presented. Alongside the improvements, the SUV also gets its very first AT4 Ultimate trim.
2025 GMC Yukon – What’s new?
After dealing with the Acadia and the Terrain, both of which have just been thoroughly updated, GMC attacked both the exterior and interior of its flagship model for this makeover.
Aside from styling updates, the new Yukon also features upgraded technologies, a must in its category if it’s to keep up with the competition.
The new AT4 Ultimate trim, meanwhile, comes as the AT4 trim marks its fifth anniversary within the GMC model range. Also spruced up for 2025 is the model’s range-topping Denali Ultimate trim.
Design of the 2025 GMC Yukon
The new edition of the SUV features unique grille patterns up front, liftgate badging out back and animated headlights and taillights. Overall, the exterior styling “exudes a muscular yet refined character”, as GMC puts it.
Inside
The interior’s updates are many, starting with a 16.8-inch display screen for the updated, vertically oriented infotainment centre interface. GMC says that interface is highly customizable. Second-row passengers, meanwhile, have their own 8-inch rear climate control – if buyers have picked that option.
A panoramic roof is available as an option, as is a hands-free tailgate function.

advanced technology, safety and driver assistance features coming to the 2025 Yukon include available Night Vision (optional); it helps make driving in low-light situations safer.

That network is expected to cover 1.2 million km by the end of 2025. In the new Yukon, the system will include the possibility of hands-free trailering, an industry first according to GMC.
