Power, performance, and personality wrapped up in a premium package make up the hallmarks of the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali, headed down under in Q2 of 2025. At its heart is a 6.2-litre V8 petrol engine, delivering 313kW of power and 624Nm of torque.
“There’s no denying it’s a statement vehicle – with the Denali package, the Yukon offers customers the ultimate in premium finishes and performance,” GM ANZ managing director Jess Bala said.
“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.”
The powertrain is the same as what’s found in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 range. A tow rating will be released closer to launch, but the Yukon is anticipated to be a standout in that capacity.
Manoeuvring the Yukon in and out of tight confines is made easier thanks to the inclusion of up to 13 cameras, including surround view, front and rear views (and top-down), along with a hitch view for trailers.
Each is displayed on the impressively large 16.8-inch diagonal tablet style infotainment screen that features Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and access to vehicle settings and drive modes.
In addition to seating for eight, the GMC Yukon Denali will offer a gargantuan 3,480-litres of cargo volume when the second and third row are lowered. The seats all fold flat, making the interior space perfect for transporting large and bulky items.
If the full configuration of seats is in use, even the smallest of passengers have been considered, as there are three ISOFIX points throughout the vehicle. Real-world testing continues in Victoria with a fleet of engineering vehicles conducting local validation.
Pricing for the new model, along with additional specs, is anticipated to be released later this year.
