What the Newly Refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon Has to Offer Discerning Drivers

On the hunt for a GMC Yukon for sale in Corinth? We’re rolling in the newest models and would love to show them to you! For over three decades, carpool parents, road-tripping families, and big groups of all kinds have turned to the GMC Yukon. It’s a classic full-size SUV, delivering that ultra-safe and comfortable feel we all want from this vehicle category. 

We’ve enjoyed watching GMC continue to refine this people hauler, making it safer, more stylish, and more tech-savvy, year after year. The 2025 model truly impresses us with an array of updates—some expected, and some not. Ready to learn all about the updated Yukon? Below, we’ll cover some of our favorite changes and additions to the 2025 model.

Say “Sayonara” to the SLE and SLT Trims

One of the first things you might notice when browsing GMC’s website is that the SLE and SLT models—the 2024 starting trims—are gone for 2025. Instead, the starting trim is the Elevation.

By dropping the SLE and SLT trims from the bottom of the lineup, the 2025 Yukon kicks things off in decidedly upscale fashion. The Elevation trim might be the base-level trim, but there’s nothing basic about it. It has a massive touchscreen, heated first and second row outboard seats, a 10-speaker Bose sound system, and striking 20-inch graphite wheels.

Initiating the lineup with the Elevation does put the bottom-end MSRP at nearly $10,000 higher than the 2024 model. However, given the luxury-grade features of the Elevation, it’s a price difference that most will find logical.

Two Bold New Touchscreens

The infotainment system is the focus of many SUVs today. It’s your command center, where you see incoming texts, check the traffic, view navigation information, and so much more. For the 2024 model, the Yukon has an available 10.2-inch infotainment screen. For 2025, GMC enlarged the infotainment system, making it 16.8 inches.

For a quick reference, some of the largest laptop screens sit at 17 inches. The 2025 Yukon’s infotainment display rivals personal computers in terms of size, so we doubt you’ll struggle to see its graphics. Its vertical interface offers a comfortable tablet-esque user experience. Plus, drivers can customize what they see there, from maps to vehicle diagnostics and more.

Moving to the rear rows, you’ll find an available eight-inch diagonal rear climate control touchscreen. The 2024 model offers rear seat air conditioning; however, the addition of a climate control touchscreen gives rear-seat passengers even more command over their comfort. It’s the type of small touch that makes a big difference in impressing important passengers, like high-end clients.

An Upscale Off-Road Trim for Next-Level Adventures

Looking forward to some off-road fun outside of Corinth? You might have already considered the Yukon AT4, the off-road trim available for the 2024 model. However, perhaps it didn’t have enough amenities for your liking. If you were waiting for a new trim that is both more rugged and more refined, you got it.

For the 2025 Yukon, GMC created the AT4 Ultimate. It adds to the AT4’s off-road-ready features like high approach/departure angles, skid plates, and recovery hooks, with features that unlock more exploration and more comfort. 

First, there’s the Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. It can increase the height of the vehicle by two inches, providing extra clearance when branches and rocks litter the trails. When it’s time to return to the pavement, simply lower your Yukon. GMC elevated the exterior style, too, with 20-inch machined and painted bronze metallic wheels (the regular AT4 has carbon flash metallic wheels).

Inside the AT4 Ultimate, you’ll find full-grain leather seating and wood accents for a cabin that’s aesthetically warm and welcoming after a long day of rock climbing and cliff jumping. You’ll even notice leather rim steering wheel accents for another touch of sophistication. If you enjoy journeys away from the pavement around Alcorn County and appreciate the finer things in life, we think you’ll like the new AT4 Ultimate trim.

An Improved and More Accessible Diesel Engine

Drivers have always admired the powerful engine options of the Yukon. The 2024 model does have a diesel option. It’s a 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel I-6 offering 277 hp and 460 lb-ft torque. The 2024 diesel option is available on all trims but the off-road AT4. 

So what changed for 2025? First, GMC made the diesel engine more powerful. The new powertrain offers 305 hp and a torque of 495 lb-ft. Plus, it’s now available on the AT4 and the new AT4 Ultimate trim. This expansion to the off-road trims seems like the obvious choice, since tricky terrain (and getting out of tough situations via recovery hooks) often calls for serious power. 

The Denali Ultimate Gets Even More Ultimate

Craving more luxury in your Corinth life? You’re in luck because the top-end Denali Ultimate received some impressive improvements for 2025. On the outside, you’ll see head-turning 24-inch eight-spoke machined wheels with laser etching (a new feature for the Yukon nameplate across the board).

Inside, a cabin lined with wood decor, open-pore laser-etched topographical patterns, and chrome accents welcomes you in. The overall look and feel are elevated and timeless. When it’s time to enjoy music or podcasts, the 22-speaker Bose sound system will create an immersive listening experience. For reference, the 2024 Yukon Denali Ultimate has an 18-speaker Bose sound system, so you get four more speakers in the 2025 model. 

New Standard and Available Safety Features That Have You Covered on the Road

Whether your days in Corinth involve in-town errands or freeway commutes, you’ll like the newly added standard and available safety features. For 2025, GMC adds front and side bicyclist braking to the Yukon. Between kids learning how to ride in the suburbs to cyclists getting from point A to point B in town, there are quite a few cyclists to look out for, and the 2025 Yukon will hit the brakes for you when one gets too close.

Rear Cross Traffic Braking is a new addition for 2025, too. When you’re moving in reverse, if the system detects a vehicle approaching your rear, it can take over braking to avoid a collision. The addition of Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking can also reduce the chances of crashes after passing stop signs or traffic lights.

However, one of the coolest additions must be the available Night Vision. It uses thermal object detection to notify you of pedestrians or animals up ahead in low-light settings. You’ll receive a notification on the head-up display and driver information center when the system picks up on something.
