Discover the Power of Possibility: 2025 GMC Yukon Configurations

All New Vehicles

The 2025 GMC Yukon lineup delivers exceptional versatility, advanced technology and bold design, making it one of the most compelling full-size SUVs on the market. It arrives in five configurations — Elevation, AT4, AT4 Ultimate, Denali and Denali Ultimate — and with three engines that cut across those trims rather than following them in order.

Whether the priority is family comfort, off-road capability or luxury beyond compare, each configuration offers a distinct experience — and the engine decision is not automatically settled by the trim you pick.

Trim Levels That Match Your Lifestyle

The Yukon family features five trims, each tailored for unique needs. Elevation is the entry point to the lineup, equipped with a 5.3L V8 engine, HD Surround Vision, a 10-speaker Bose system and an available Duramax Turbo-Diesel upgrade. AT4 adds off-road-ready features including all-terrain tires, a skid plate, Magnetic Ride Control and premium interior appointments.

AT4 Ultimate combines rugged performance with luxury — a 6.2L V8 engine, Air Ride Suspension, Super Cruise, massaging seats and 18-speaker Bose audio. Denali introduces luxury-focused upgrades including a power-sliding center console, a 15-inch Head-Up Display and available 24-inch wheels. Denali Ultimate is the pinnacle of refinement, with 24-inch exclusive wheels, Super Cruise, a 22-speaker Bose system and premium leather throughout.

Engine Options and Towing Power

The Yukon’s engine lineup is designed to give you control and confidence, and the three do not rank in one order:

5.3L V8 — 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque
6.2L V8 — 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque
3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel — 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque

Read those numbers twice. The Duramax makes the least horsepower and the most torque — 495 lb-ft against the 6.2L V8’s 460. For anyone who tows, torque is the figure that pulls a loaded trailer away from a stop, so the strongest engine on paper is not the strongest for the job.

All three pair with the 10-speed automatic and advanced trailering technology, including Transparent Trailer View and Super Cruise trailering. With up to 8,400 lbs of towing capacity, a weekend in Port St. Lucie or an escape to the Melbourne coast gets easier.

Interior Luxury Meets Innovation

Step inside any 2025 Yukon and you are met with a spacious, upscale design. Premium materials such as Obsidian Rush or Woodland Mahogany full-grain leather set the tone, a 16.8-inch premium infotainment system anchors the dashboard, and a panoramic sunroof is available across the lineup.

Comfort equipment is where the trims separate most clearly. Massaging seats arrive with the AT4 Ultimate, and the audio system climbs in three steps — 10 speakers on the Elevation, 18 on the AT4 Ultimate and 22 on the Denali Ultimate. A buyer comparing the top two trims is largely comparing the cabin, not the drivetrain.

Exterior Styling That Turns Heads

The redesigned Yukon lineup proudly boasts new front and rear fascias, full LED lighting and bold grille options. Wheel size is the clearest exterior tell: 24-inch wheels are available on the Denali and exclusive in design on the Denali Ultimate.

The AT4 takes the opposite approach: its all-terrain tires and skid plate change how the SUV looks and what it can do at the same time.

Which 2025 Yukon Configuration Fits the Treasure Coast

Two questions settle most of it. Will the Yukon tow regularly? If yes, look hard at the Duramax before assuming the 6.2L V8 is the answer. Does the pavement ever end — unpaved access, a soft boat ramp, standing water in the rainy season? If yes, the AT4 configurations earn their hardware; if no, that equipment is appearance, and the Denali trims put the same money into the cabin.

Call Linus Buick GMC at (772) 217-5049 to check which engines are on the lot.

Which 2025 Yukon engine is best for towing?

The 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel, on torque. It produces 495 lb-ft against the 6.2L V8’s 460, even though it makes the least horsepower of the three at 305 hp. Torque is what moves a loaded trailer from a stop, so the diesel is the stronger choice for regular towing while the 6.2L V8 is the stronger choice for outright acceleration. Contact the Linus team to talk through which one fits what you tow.
