GMC Yukon coming to Australia in 2025

GMC has revealed that it plans to bring its large Yukon SUV to Australia.

It will be squarely aimed at drivers wanting an unpretentious, capable and tech-filled wagon. And its 6.2-litre V8 is certain to appeal to those looking to tow across the great southern land.

Set to arrive in 2025, the introduction of the GMC Yukon is the brand's attempt to expand outside of North America, where the Yukon has seen success as the best-selling full-size SUV, snaring 38.4 per cent of the market in Canada.

This is on top of recent achievements, with the model seeing record sales in the first half of 2024, and its best June sales since 2005. As a result, GMC considers the time right to grow the brand and aims to introduce the large SUV to Australia, New Zealand and China.

Riding on enormous 24-inch wheels, GMC highlights that the design of the Yukon is aimed to enhance its presence on the road, horizontally stretching a lot of the elements such as the grille and lights across the car to accentuate the car's muscular stance.

An extra detail, and keeping with the regional naming theme, the GMC badging on the grille and the interior dash features the embossing of a topographical map of the Denali range that borders the Yukon in Canada.

The Yukon's premium interior includes leather throughout, a large 16.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, head-up display and Bose speakers in the headrests. Ensuring that the rear seating is equally as luxurious as the front, the second row includes captain's chairs with the same leather seating and Bose speakers in the headrest.

Conversion to right-hand-drive is said to be handled by the Walkinshaw Group, capitalising on its extensive experience with other large vehicles such as the Chevrolet Silverado as well as the sportier Camaro.

Power and fuel consumption figures for the V8 are not yet available, but will be available closer to launch.
