The GMC Yukon and its long-wheelbase Yukon XL sibling SUVs share a not-very-well-kept secret. Despite their upmarket positioning and individual styling touches, they're based on the same blueprint as the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. That's a good thing, as GM's full-size SUVs share a choice of two tried and true V-8s, an impressive and efficient d...
There are still some details to come, but GMC has already begun teasing the new exterior stylingof the 2025 Yukon, which is slated to get refreshed front and rear fasciae. The 2025 Tahoe and Suburban, the Yukon's Chevrolet siblings, were recently updated, and the GMC is set to follow. In addition to the exterior styling tweaks, we expect new wheel ...
There’s no denying the appeal of the luxurious Denali or the rugged promise of the AT4. The former is handsomely equipped, the latter set up for off-road trail running. The AT4 commands a big enough premium over the SLT, however, to make the SLT our pick. This mid-range model comes with features that most buyers are looking for, including leather u...
The Yukon offers a choice of two gasoline V-8s and a diesel. The 5.3-liter V-8 is rated at 355 horsepower and 355 pound-feet of torque, while the 6.2-liter V-8 is rated for 420 horses and 460 pound-feet. The 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline-six-cylinder diesel is currently rated for 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of twist, but the 2025 version wil...
When we tested a loaded Denali model with the 6.2-liter V-8, we recorded a 6.0-second zero-to-60-mph time and noted significantly improved braking performanceover the last generation model. We haven’t performed an instrumented test on a Yukon diesel, but we did test a similarly equipped Tahoe diesel and recorded a 7.8-second run to the 60 mph mark.
On paper, the Yukon max-towing champ is the rear-wheel drive model with the 5.3-liter V-8, which is rated for 8400 pounds. The 6.2 is rated for a nearly equivalent 8300 pounds, but its additional 105 pound-feet of torque makes a significant difference when towing. The Duramax diesel is rated for 8200 pounds max towing but makes the same 460 pound-f...
The current Yukon isn't particularly fuel efficient, but it does slightly better in the city than the last-generation model. Yukons equipped with the smaller 5.3-liter V-8 are the least thirsty gasoline-powered models in the lineup earning EPA ratings of 16 mpg city, 20 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined. The diesel engine is predictably more efficie...
A revised interior is on the way for 2025, but we currently don't have any details on it. The cabin's size and layout, however, remain the same as in the 2024 model. Both the Yukon and long-wheelbase Yukon XL offer seating for up to eight passengers, although ordering the popular second-row captain's chairs, which will no doubt be available again i...
We expect mild tweaks and improvements to the infotainment's functionality for 2025, but all Yukon models will come with a large infotainment display with GMC's latest infotainment interface. (It could look like the 2025 Tahoe's, shown here.) We've found the current system easy to use. SLE, SLT, and AT4 models currently feature a display that stand...
A host of driver-assistance features are offered, but GMC makes only basic tech as standard, forcing buyers to pay extra for more advanced ones. That may continue. For more information about the Yukon's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Ke...
