GMC has officially unveiled the 2025 Yukon, its flagship full-size SUV, in Abu Dhabi, bringing a host of exciting upgrades in design, technology, and performance. Set to hit GCC showrooms early next year, the latest Yukon lineup introduces a new trim structure with four options: the entry-level Elevation, the off-road-focused AT4, the all-new AT4 Ultimate, and the premium Denali.
Power and Performance: V8 Excellence
The 2025 Yukon retains its renowned V8 engine lineup, delivering powerful performance for both city commutes and rugged adventures. The base 5.3-litre V8 engine produces 355 horsepower, while the more robust 6.2-litre V8 delivers an impressive 420 horsepower and 623 Nm of torque. Both engines are paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission and selectable drive modes, offering versatility for a range of driving conditions.
For towing enthusiasts, the Yukon boasts an impressive maximum towing capacity of 3,810 kg, making it a reliable choice for hauling trailers or recreational vehicles. Additionally, the available four-corner air ride adaptive suspension enhances ride comfort and stability, raising the vehicle by up to 2 inches for better ground clearance during off-road excursions.
Sleek Design Meets Cutting-Edge Technology
The 2025 Yukon introduces a more refined design language, offering a bold and modern aesthetic that perfectly complements its luxury SUV status. Key design updates include:
- Striking Exterior Features: Animated headlamps and unique grille patterns for each trim level give the Yukon a distinct visual identity. Buyers can also opt for a panoramic sunroof with dual panes, tilt-sliding functionality, and a power sunshade, available as standard on the AT4 Ultimate and Denali trims.
- Enhanced Interior Technology: A 16.8-inch customizable infotainment screen dominates the dashboard, offering a seamless interface for maps, media, and vehicle diagnostics. Additionally, select trims feature an 8-inch touchscreen for rear climate control.
- Convenience Features: The Yukon offers an AUTOSENSE Power Liftgate, allowing hands-free access by simply approaching with the key fob. Inside, the second and third rows can be folded with the touch of a button, maximizing cargo space effortlessly.
New wheel designs and premium materials inside the cabin further elevate the vehicle’s appeal, ensuring a sophisticated and functional experience.
AT4 Ultimate: A Blend of Luxury and Off-Road Capability
Marking its debut in the Yukon lineup, the AT4 Ultimate trim combines rugged off-road performance with the premium features expected of a luxury SUV. Highlights include:

- Advanced Technology: A night vision system provides a thermal display to enhance visibility, particularly in low-light conditions, alerting drivers to pedestrians or large animals ahead. Rear passengers benefit from dual 12.6-inch high-definition screens, complete with Bluetooth headphones and HDMI ports for personalized entertainment.
