2025 GMC Yukon Denali

The 2025 Yukon is GMC's full-size SUV, a three-row family hauler that also tows with authority and offers a choice of upscale trims. It squares off against the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition, and Jeep Wagoneer, with a more premium feel than its Chevy sibling. The Yukon drives with the confident, planted feel you expect from a big body-on-frame SUV, and the steering is accurate for its size. Ride comfort is generally smooth, though the independent rear suspension helps, but expect some body motion over big bumps. Inside, the cabin is roomy and quiet, with a huge cargo area behind the third row and available Denali luxury trim. The Denali gives up the AT4's off-road hardware and the Ultimate's extra luxury, but it still gets the premium interior and the stronger V8. With the 6.2L V8 under the hood and four-wheel drive, this Denali pulls hard from a stop and tows with authority, yet it still manages 22 mpg combined. The Denali's adaptive air suspension smooths out rough pavement, and the cabin is trimmed in open-pore wood and leather that rivals luxury SUVs costing more.
