Upmarket Suburban Alternative

It’s not a secret that the Yukon and the Yukon XL are built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. However, it’s the unique style and luxury additions that set the GMC SUVs apart. The shared platform is a solid one with two V8 engines to choose from. The Yukon also offers the option of an efficient and torquey diesel engine that makes an impressive 27 MPG on the highway.

The Yukon models now feature an independent rear suspension that further improves the ride and handling. The cabin includes three rows of seats for up to eight people, plus tons of space for cargo and other items. Even though the base Yukon is relatively upmarket, the Denali and Denali Ultimate trims are where real luxury can be found.

A Bevy of New 2025 Features in the Yukon Denali

When you visit GMC truck dealers to see the new 2025 GMC Yukon, you’ll find out that there are a ton of new features on the big SUV. Styling updates include a new front fascia, grille, and headlight design. The front and rear lights on the Yukon can now play animation as well. The Denali Ultimate gets 24-inch wheels as standard, while they can be had as optional on the regular Denali.

You can now get second-row executive seating in the Denali Ultimate, plus a Bose audio system with 22 speakers. A newly available tech feature is night vision with thermal object detection. The only powertrain update is more power for the Duramax 3.0-liter diesel. The Denali is positioned in the middle of the lineup with the AT4 Ultimate and Denali Ultimate above it.

Performance For Every Need

There isn’t an EV option for the Yukon as yet, but the standard engine on the Denali and Denali Ultimate trims is a 6.2-liter V8 that makes 420 horsepower but is also quite thirsty for fuel. The good news is that all models, including the Denali models, can be equipped with the 3.0-liter Duramax diesel. This engine makes a respectable 305 horsepower and a strong 495 pound-feet of torque. It’s also quite a bit more efficient than any of the gas V8 choices.

Among all the things it does well, the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali is great for towing. With the 6.2-liter V8 or Duramax diesel, you can tow up to 8,200 pounds. The diesel engine delivers more torque at lower rpm, making it the ideal towing choice. The Yukon also offers several trailering aids, including a jackknife alert and Transparent Trailer View.

The Yukon Denali Offers the Ultimate Comfort

As you might expect, the Yukon Denali offers a plush and luxurious interior filled with modern tech. Some of the unique touches include open-pore wood trim and chrome accents. Connectivity options include wireless Apple/Android integration and Google built-in. You don’t have to ride up front to be pampered, either. The rear rows come with plenty of creature comforts as well, including the option for second-row captain’s chairs.

If you need a big SUV to do it all, the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali fits the bill in every way.

Right now, there are a few electric trucks and SUVs in the GMC fleet, but there are more coming, and it may be sooner than you think.

The Capable GMC Hummer EV Truck

The GMC Hummer EV truck was the first all-electric GMC to make an appearance at GMC dealers. It offers a unique blend of rugged capabilities and environmental consciousness. The impressive electric powertrain produces 1000 horsepower and sprints from zero to 60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds. This electric truck can use brute force to make its way over almost any terrain, while the rear-wheel steering system makes it easy to maneuver whether you’re on the trail or in the city. It even features a unique crab driving mode that will move it sideways.

Go Big in the GMC Hummer EV SUV

The GMC Hummer EV SUV arrived on the tail of the Hummer EV truck. While it shares many of the truck’s features and offers similar performance, it’s also more family-friendly, with more space in the cabin for passengers. The all-electric powertrain churns out 830 horsepower and gets up to 11,500 pound-feet of torque. This version of the Hummer will zip from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Drivers who are wondering about range for this large EV have nothing to worry about. It can go up to 300 miles on a full charge.

The GMC Sierra EV is Coming

Everyone loves the GMC Sierra pickup truck, and when the new Sierra EV arrives at GMC dealers in the near future, they will not only love its features and capabilities but also its efficiency and power. The official name for this new pickup is the GMC Sierra Denali Edition 1. And, with Denali part of its name, this truck is sure to deliver when it comes to upscale features and luxury.

Like the Hummer EVs and the Silverado EV, the Sierra will ride on the Ultium platform with a large battery pack that will help it get up to 400 miles of range. It will have all the latest technology, including GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving technology, and it will feature GMC’s innovative MultiPro Midgate. This gate serves as a divider between the cabin and the bed that can be lowered when you have long items to move but want to keep the tailgate up.

What’s on the Horizon

While the GMC EV lineup currently features the two GMC Hummer models and the upcoming Sierra Denali EV, there is much more on the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled for a GMC Yukon EV. This full-size luxury SUV will sit at the top of GMC’s SUV lineup, and since it will be built right in the U.S., it could be an affordable option for SUV buyers who want to make the switch to an electric vehicle.
