2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban: Diesel Power Reimagined
GMC has officially unveiled the 2025 Yukon, setting a new benchmark for full-size luxury SUVs. With significant technology upgrades, bold new exterior styling, and a thoughtfully refreshed interior, this flagship model introduces the first-ever AT4 Ultimate trim, celebrating the fifth anniversary of GMC’s rugged AT4 sub-brand.
Powerful Engine Options for Every Driver
The 2025 Yukon offers a range of impressive power options to meet various driving needs. The available 6.2L V8 engine packs a punch with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, seamlessly paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth performance. For drivers who prioritize efficiency without compromising on power, the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine is now available across the entire lineup, including the AT4 and AT4 Ultimate trims. This diesel engine provides 305 horsepower and an impressive 495 lb-ft of torque, ensuring robust performance in every scenario.
Luxurious Interior Meets Cutting-Edge Technology
Stepping inside the 2025 Yukon, you’ll find a harmonious blend of luxury and state-of-the-art technology. The centerpiece of the cabin is a stunning 16.8-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment Center, featuring a vertical interface that allows for customizable displays of maps, audio, and vehicle diagnostics. Rear passengers are not overlooked, with an available 8-inch diagonal rear climate control touchscreen ensuring everyone’s comfort.
The Yukon’s exterior is designed to command attention with its muscular yet refined look. Unique grille patterns, distinctive liftgate badging, and animated headlamps and taillamps all contribute to its bold presence on the road. An available panoramic sunroof further enhances the open-air feel of the spacious cabin.
Unmatched Luxury and Off-Road Capability
For those who seek the ultimate in luxury, the Denali Ultimate trim offers exclusive features that set it apart. These include 24-inch 8-spoke machined wheels with laser etching—a first for the Yukon—along with 16-way powered, heated, and ventilated massaging front seats. The second-row Executive Seating features luxurious captain’s chairs, and a Bose Performance Series sound system with up to 22 speakers delivers an unparalleled acoustic experience.
Off-road enthusiasts will be thrilled with the new AT4 Ultimate trim, which combines rugged capability with premium comfort. This trim includes a front skid plate, 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, and a Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension that can raise the vehicle up to 2 inches for improved ground clearance. Inside, the Obsidian Rush interior offers three rows of full-grain leather seating and Ash Burl wood accents, creating a sophisticated yet adventure-ready environment.
Safety and Towing Technologies at the Forefront
Safety is a top priority in the 2025 Yukon, with the introduction of Night Vision technology to help drivers navigate low-light conditions with confidence. The expanded suite of advanced safety features includes Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, ensuring that every drive is as safe as it is enjoyable.
For those who frequently tow, the Yukon offers a towing capacity of up to 8,400 lbs., along with a range of innovative trailering technologies. These include Blind Zone Steering Assist, Transparent Trailer View, and Jackknife Alert, making towing easier and safer than ever before.
Duncan Aldred, global vice president of Buick and GMC, shared his excitement about the new model: "We’re raising the bar on what our customers expect from GMC’s flagship, and the addition of the AT4 Ultimate trim fuses ruggedness and capability with craftsmanship and refinement."
