GMSV has announced order books for the GMC Yukon have opened in Australia, with deliveries of the burly SUV to begin in the second quarter of 2025.
You'll need deep pockets to secure one though, with the Yukon Denali fetching an eye-watering price tag of $169,990 (excluding on-road costs), due in part local remanufacturing by Walkinshaw. The Yukon will offer a towing capacity in excess of 3500kg, but exact figures will be confirmed closer to launch.
The Australian market will feature only one variant, the Yukon Denali, powered by a 6.2-litre V8 petrol engine producing 313kW and 642Nm, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. A 16.8-inch infotainment screen will provide access to 13 camera views for enhanced visibility, including surround and hitch views. The eight-seater also offers substantial cargo space, with up to 3480 litres available when the second- and third-row seats are folded flat.
