There’s a facelift coming for the GMC Yukon. The GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, are gearing up for their own makeover. And GMC has just dropped the first teaser of what’s to come. Although the first photo of the upcoming GMC Yukon is cropped pretty tight, it gives us a glimpse of its redesigned headlights. The revised units will feature a characteristic C-shaped DRL, with the projectors now nested lower in the “C”. They will be accompanied by a redesigned grille. Based on what we see, it appears to adopt a new hexagonal shape for the surround trim, which in the teaser is finished in black.
If the refreshed Tahoe and Suburban are any indication, then expect to see the updated Yukon featuring GM’s latest infotainment system with a massive touchscreen display. The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban are getting a 17.7-inch touchscreen display, along with an 11-inch digital instrument cluster which means the Yukon is probably getting the same kind of upgrades inside.
Under the hood, the Chevy SUVs get a second-generation 3.0-liter Duramax diesel engine, which makes 305 hp and 670 Nm of torque. That’s a significant improvement over the first-gen diesel, which makes just 277 hp and 623 Nm. Again, we expect the new engine to be offered on the 2025 Yukons. If diesel is not your thing, you’ll be glad to hear that both the 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter gas V8s will likely carry over from the current model, with outputs of 355 hp and 420 hp respectively.
It’s crucial for GMC to get the Yukon’s
2025 update right, as the brand is poised to expand into new markets. The 2025
Yukon will spearhead GMC’s entry into the Chinese, New Zealand, and Australian
markets. GMC plans to unveil the 2025 Yukon later this year.
