GMC Arabia announced a newer, bigger, better, and bolder 2025 GMC Yukon—just the SUV we’ve all been waiting for. As expected, GMC delivered on its promise to provide premium and luxurious vehicles without compromising performance, reliability, or technology.
It’s raining SUVs in UAE. With the recent launch of the Infiniti QX80 and Nissan Patrol, GMC had to drop the latest Yukon to stay competitive. So, what makes this bulky SUV so unique? Has it improved, or does it just look updated? While the launch date hasn’t been announced, we have gathered the expected features and specs for you. Read on to find out.
What’s New for 2025?
Among cosmetic enhancements are a redesigned front grille, new headlights, and optional 24-inch wheels. The lighting components at the front and rear of the Yukon can now also display animations. In the latest 2025 GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate, you get 16-way powered massaging, heated, and ventilated front seats.
The seats have full-grain leather in all three rows and open-pore wood interior trim. Other exterior upgrades include a new exhaust outlet and an Autosense Power Liftgate.
Available Trims
The four offered trims include:
- GMC Yukon Elevation
- GMC Yukon AT4
- GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate
- GMC Yukon Denali
This is the first time GMC has offered a more premium AT4 in the form of the GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate. As evident from its name, it really is the crown jewel in the Yukon’s lineup.
Sweet V8 Symphony
Unlike its competitors, GMC didn’t switch to a lower-displacement twin-turbo V6. Instead, it still offers a choice between a 5.3l V8 or, if that’s not enough for you, a 6.2l V8. Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that is smoother than your butter.
Worth its Money
With the 5.3l V8 putting out 355hp and the 6.2l V8 making 420hp bone stock, this SUV is undoubtedly worth its money. You will also agree when we tell you about the 2-speed transfer case, standard 20-inch all-terrain tires, and optional 4-corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension.
Inside the Cockpit
Although the Yukon looks like a manly SUV from the outside, its cockpit is rather premium. Equipped with the latest technology, the 2025 GMC Yukon has it all. You get a new dashboard design, a new steering wheel design, and a new 16.8” Diagonal Infotainment System.
Let’s not forget about the new 11” driver’s display, just as GMC didn’t forget to add the new Electronic Precision Column Shifter and vertical-design HVAC vents.
Pricing
While the prices haven’t been officially announced yet, the base model of Yukon Elevation will be AED 250,000. The higher variants will have a much bigger price tag. Prices can go up to AED 477,500 for a full-house 2025 GMC Yukon with all options ticked.
