2025 GMC Yukon
The 2025 GMC Yukon or 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe is a line of full-size SUVs and other trucks from General Motors. The 2025 GMC Yukon and long-wheelbase Yukon XL look a lot like the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban. The full-size Yukon lives up to its Chevy counterparts and provides the same passenger and cargo-carrying capabilities but is designed to reflect a more ostentatious lifestyle. There are three rows of seats inside and it can fit up to eight passengers. Fairly luxurious high-end pricing, even the Denali and Denali Ultimate versions of the Yukon don’t match the opulence displayed by the Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator
. The base engine is a 355-hp V-8, but a larger 420-hp V-8 is available for best fuel economy, choose the turbodiesel inline-six with an EPA-estimated 27 mpg. The Yukon and Yukon XL instead shine as slightly upgraded versions of their Chevrolet siblings in mid-range SLT and AT4 trims. The tough AT4, with its rugged looks and off-road equipment, and the luxurious Denali, with its hand-stitched leather interior, look the most interesting. The one to choose is the well-equipped and more affordable SLT. The mid-range model comes with the features most buyers are looking for, including leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, 20-inch wheels, a power liftgate, and driver-assist features.
2025 GMC Yukon : Interior
Available in a variety of flavors from the base SLE specification to the luxurious Denali Ultimate, the Yukon and long-wheelbase Yukon XL promise seating for up to eight passengers, although ordering the popular second-row captain’s chairs will reduce total seating capacity to seven. Denali models offer a unique interior design with a wood-trimmed instrument panel and hand-stitched leather upholstery. All 2025 Yukon models come with a large infotainment screen with GMC’s latest infotainment interface, and we found the system easy to use. SLE, SLT, and AT4 models feature a tall screen in the center of the dash, but the Denali’s is surrounded by shiny chrome and set into the dash for a more sophisticated look.
Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and Wi-Fi hotspot are standard equipment, and navigation and Bose audio system are optional features. Cargo capacity is generous, especially in the larger XL model, which offers a whopping 145 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with all seats stowed. That’s more than its intercity rival, the Ford Expedition Max, standard-length Yukon provided enough room for six carry-on bags behind the third-row seats.
