2025 GMC Yukon

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

Shopping for a three-row SUV means balancing priorities of seat quantity versus comfort. If the number of seats trump all, many three-row SUVs offer a second-row bench, but other models give up the second-row middle seat for captain’s chairs.

When it comes to operation, actually driving and using them, many of us prefer the mainstream-branded versions of big SUVs to the fancier, more luxurious, more expensive luxury-brand versions.

GMC’s full-size flagship SUV looks a little different from the outside for the 2025 model year, but the Yukon’s interior is significantly upgraded.

For those wishing to have a more traditional American luxury full-size SUV experience without the increasingly screen-based push coming for the next Escalade, the Yukon makes an excellent case for itself.

The updated 2025 Yukon features many of the same updates the similar Chevrolet Tahoe received to keep it competitive in the expensive full-size SUV category.

The image GMC released shows a headlight that retains the basic shape of the current unit, with LED daytime running lights framing the assembly.
