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 ultra-luxury trim, saving thousands while keeping the 6.2L V8 and Magnetic Ride Control. Its 6.2L V8 makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, routed through a ten-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which is enough to tow with confidence while returning 16 mpg combined. The standard Magnetic Ride Control reads the road in real time, so the big SUV stays flat through corners and soaks up highway miles better than you'd expect.
