2025 GMC Yukon: Q2 release date and new details revealed

GMSV has confirmed a release window for its GMC Yukon, with the premium SUV slated to go on sale in the second quarter of 2025.

However, we’ll have to wait until closer to the vehicle’s official launch for pricing to be revealed. Considering that it's a premium product – and it will be remanufactured locally to right-hand drive by the experts at Walkinshaw – expect a lofty price tag in excess of $140,000.

Also unknown is the Yukon’s towing capacity, which will be revealed closer to its local launch, but GMSV claims it is “anticipated to offer best-in-class towing”. Estimates suggest a figure of 4500kg.

Only one variant will be available to purchase in Australia – dubbed the Yukon Denali – and it’ll be equipped with a mountain of premium products, headilined of course by the same powertrain which drives the Silverado 1500: a 313kW/642Nm 6.2-litre V8 petrol engine, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

A gigantic 16.8-inch diagonal tablet-style infotainment screen will dominate the centre console, and it will be fed by 13 camera views around the vehicle to help eliminate any blind spots. In addition to surround view, front and rear views, and top-down views, the camera set-up provides a hitch view with hitch guidance. Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are also included.

The eight-seater is not short on cargo space, with the big SUV offering 3480 litres of cargo space with the second- and third-row seats lowered. And they fold flat, too. Plus, three ISOFIX points are fitted throughout the vehicle.

“There’s no denying it’s a statement vehicle - with the Denali package, the Yukon offers customers the ultimate in premium finishes and performance,” said Jess Bala, Managing Director, GM Australia & New Zealand.

“The GMC Yukon is the ultimate vehicle for families and groups who need to transport as many as eight people in comfort, safety, and style, combined with unheralded towing capability and luggage carrying ability.

“A powerful petrol V8 engine, luxurious interior, cavernous boot space are complemented with the latest in technology and safety systems to make the GMC Yukon Denali the latest ‘must have’ vehicle brought to you by GMSV.”

More specs and official pricing will be revealed closer to the Yukon’s local launch.
