It’s time to start teasing the 2025 GMC Yukon, the luxurious truck division doing so with a glimpse of the front fascia on the AT4 trim. This being a refresh, we’re not on the lookout for major changes to hard points.
In contrast to today’s Yukon, it seems the brand new face will stress horizontal breadth as an alternative of highlighting the central aspect of a large grille and skid plate area. Starting with the taller C-shaped headlights on the 2025, a shorter horizontal element at the highest now not reaches all of the solution to the grille surround, and it’s separated from the three major beams below by a body-colored piece extending from the grille cradle. Below the sunshine, a brand new lower bumper treatment probably increases the aggression in comparison with today’s truck. Instead of black centerpiece that houses the skid plate and a pair of tow hooks, it appears the whole bumper will be black and wrap around into the fenders. Finally, the grille looks the identical, but its crossbars have been reprofiled.
As sibling to the 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban that Chevy revealed last November, we expect most of the same updates here. Outside, that will mean refinements to the independent rear suspension for more nimble handling, latest wheel designs, and availability of the second-generation 3.0-liter Duramax inline-six with 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque as an alternative of today’s 277 hp and 460 lb-ft. Inside, we expect a brand new instrument panel housing a 17.7-inch touchscreen for infotainment, and a column shifter replacing the push buttons on the middle console. Updated trim materials — together with the overdue infotainment upgrade — should provide a finer sense of luxury than what’s currently on offer.
If tech treats carry over, buyers will have access to the Connected Cameras feature for viewing and recording inside and out of doors of the vehicle for crash and security purposes. An Interior Motion Detection system can detect “micro-movements” within the cabin that would signal a baby or a pet left within the vehicle.
The Yukon might go further than the Chevy SUVs, seeing that GMC has some birthdays to have a good time: 2024 is the fifth anniversary of the AT4 trim and the twenty fifth anniversary of the Denali trim. We’ll discover later this 12 months, GMC promising the Yukon reveal sometime after the brand new Acadia begins shipping to dealers.
