Teaser: 2025 GMC Yukon AT4

GMC unveiled the updated front end of the 2025 GMC Yukon AT4, a three-row SUV, ahead of an upgrade to its portfolio. As per CarBuzz, General Motors has kept details sparse, yet acknowledges significant milestones: the fifth anniversary of the AT4 trim and the 25th anniversary of the Denali sub-brand. This confirms the return of the AT4 and hints at potential special-edition upgrades or commemorative plaques for the Denali.

Unveiling of the GMC Yukon is scheduled for "later in 2024," after the new Acadia hits dealerships in the spring. According to Autoblog, the 2025 GMC Yukon begins its teaser campaign, the focus is on showcasing the fresh front of the AT4 trim. This refresh suggests a departure from the current design, emphasizing horizontal breadth over a dominant grille and skid plate area.

Changes include taller C-shaped headlights, a reconfigured grille with reprofiled crossbars, and a revamped lower bumper for added aggression. The overall aesthetic aims for a more cohesive and modern appearance.

More Autoblog shared that should the tech offerings persist, prospective buyers can anticipate features like the Connected Cameras system, enabling monitoring and recording both inside and outside the vehicle for safety and security purposes. Additionally, an Interior Motion Detection system can detect subtle movements within the cabin, potentially alerting to the presence of a child or pet.

Given the significant milestones for GMC, including the fifth anniversary of the AT4 trim and the 25th anniversary of the Denali trim in 2024, the Yukon might boast advanced features beyond its Chevy counterparts. The exact details will emerge later this year, with GMC scheduling the Yukon reveal after the new Acadia begins shipping to dealers.

Coming from GMC

As reported by Car and Driver, these models introduce several updates, including a new column-mounted gear selector, a standard 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and an 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster.

Engine options retain the 5.3- and 6.2-liter V-8s, while the diesel inline-six undergoes a complete overhaul. The revamped Duramax diesel 3.0-liter inline-six now boasts 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque, up from its previous output of 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet.

It also shared that Chevy asserts that the suspension has undergone updates to enhance ride refinement, complemented by revised steering calibration. These improvements are welcomed, particularly given the already commendable ride quality of the full-size SUV. Details such as trim levels and pricing will be disclosed nearer to the vehicle's launch.

Cars.com has weighed in on this facelift, offering insights into what to expect. The forthcoming 2025 GMC Yukon represents the brand's inaugural entry into markets such as Australia, China, and New Zealand. Given the significance of initial impressions, expectations are elevated for this refreshed SUV.

Later this year, GMC will unveil its latest SUV lineup, offering enthusiasts their initial glimpse at these updated vehicles. While the anticipation of witnessing the revamped trucks firsthand is palpable, equally thrilling will be observing their reception and performance in international markets.
