The GMC Yukon GT was a two-door SUV only produced for a few short model years between 1993 and 1997. Recently, an automotive artist known for 3D renderings of imaginary vehicles undertook the challenge of rendering what a modern-day version of the Yukon GT could look like.
Oscar Vargas posted a series of renderings on his Instagram page, first showing a side-by-side comparison between a real GMC Yukon GT from the mid-1990s and the modern-day version. The modern SUV retains the iconic square-body styling borrowed from the fifth-generation Yukon, but of course, instead of a traditional four-door setup, its wheelbase is shortened to accommodate two doors. The C-pillar has been removed, and the rear window extends from the B-pillar all the way to the liftgate.
True to the first-generation Yukon GT it pulls inspiration from, the modern version also has monochromatic trim instead of chrome for a sleek, blacked-out look, along with the white and red “Yukon GT” badging along its doors, liftgate and grille. Deviating from the original, it features exaggerated fender flares and a lowered stance, along with race car-like front splitters and rear diffusers, as well as a spoiler affixed to the lift gate to help it maintain performance at speed.

Interestingly, the artist chose to give this Yukon GT render a set of gullwing doors in the interest of making parking in tighter spots easier. It also features a clamshell hood with the hinges in the front, making the hood less likely to lift unexpectedly at high speeds. Clearly, this SUV was rendered for speed and top-tier performance, along with a throaty engine sound made possible through the quad-exhaust outlets piped through the rear of the vehicle.
There aren’t any plans for GMC to produce a fifth-generation Yukon GT, but this rendering is certainly a fun spin on the SUV.

definitely would not buy it. Useles wheels and 2 wd 2 door bricks have never been anyone’s thing. Now considering Bronco is fighting Jeep, if this were 1 inches taller, the wheels were 17’s with 37Inch tires and the front was a solid axle, and the roof came off, then that would be something to buy for sure.
Yeah. Classic JD
Wrong. The 95-99 2×2 Tahoe market is huge. I owned 2 and made money on both. Nowdays a really nice 95-99 2×2 Tahoe brings 15 to 25k. And yes if Chevy built one I’d be first in line
I would definitely buy a 2wd, 2 door full size SUV.
I like it a lot. Nice render.
Ok hear me out. All this stuff, back onto the standard length yukon or even the XL. And add the A’Team GMC Van ‘racing stripe’ down the side (the Red L looking thing).
I’m not gonna lie. I’d rock the hell outta it. lol
I don’t like the lowered look. I like the concept, but make it more like the original GT…some off-road capability. Put some Bronco-type wheels and tires on it and make a competitor to the Bronco and Wrangler, not an oversized GMC Cyclone. Do the same thing with the Tahoe…make a 2dr C5 Blazer-style Tahoe Z71. I’d be down at the dealer putting an order in for one.
¡ Quiero una ! 👍 very nice!
I like if it didn’t have the ground effects.
Who can forget the Trailblazer SS, the 454 SS, and the incredible Syclone & Typhoon?
It’s time that street trucks make a come back!
NOW is the time to build something like this. No other manufacturer has anything like it and it would be great to finally see G.M. be the FIRST to do something, instead of copying ideas of others. Example: They took forever to build an S-10 4door crew cab for the USA even though they were building one in Mexico for the South American market. Also other manufacturers already had crew cab trucks that size on our market.
I believe I had a 1992 Yukon GT, with a 5 speed manual trans.
Quit teasing us so much. Just build it. It’ll sell.
Very nice, like it a lot! Maybe a little less of the hood treatment, but overall very cool. I’d buy one!!
IMO, too much show garbage, not for me.
Interesting, I like it. I owned a 2000 GMC Yukon. I drove it in Buffalo, NY. for 18 years. Best vehicle I ever owned. It had every option with the exception of leather seats with memory . Approximately 85% of the maintenance money I spent on my Yukon was corrosion related. They spread all kinds of corrosive stuff on the roads here to combat ice and lots of it.
I’m sure the sticker price on that vehicle would be more than three times the amount I paid for my first house in 1980.
No. Ex Suburban buyer. Switched to Honda Pilot because of poor quality of Suburban. Two Hondas, over 150,000 miles, one trip to dealer to replace Takata airbag. Amazed by Honda quality and durability. Not returning to GM.
Thanks for sending your U.S. dollars to foreign countries and for not supporting American companies.
Both my Hondas were built in the USA with American workers as our Tesla and RAM were. My neighbors Chevy was built in Mexico.
Hoping GM can start to build vehicles with better long term durability. Then they can return to our shopping list for American built vehicles.
I’ve had several 2-door Blazers/Tahoes over the years and I love them. My current daily driver is a 97 2-door Tahoe, and if GM ever decided to get off their ass and start building them again, I’d be at my local Chevy dealer at 4 AM, pounding on the window with a big wad of cash in my hand.
Having said that, this render doesn’t really do it for me. I am sure a real GM-designed truck would be a lot more innovative and have a lot more visual interest.
I would have been stuck a few times, if I had a two-wheel drive instead of my 4×4 Yukon.
Hope the taillight last longer on this one
If new Tahoes weren’t so expensive I’d already do this
Still driving my trusty 95 2-Door SLT Z-71 6.5 Turbo Diesel Yukon daily and loving everything except the cost of diesel fuel.
226,000 miles and counting, and the Allison transmission and Eaton locking rear end has never let me down, even when loaded down with three big old boys and pulling a trailer through the muddy field.
It’s had an antique tag on it for a few years now and I’m going to be listing it on eBay soon because I’m retiring to the tropics and it deserves a second life.
I bought it second hand and I believe it will bring more than I paid, and it’s more than paid for itself because it’s a dependable friend and part of the family.
Allison wasn’t used until 2001 with the Duramax. Your 1995 has the 4L80.
You’re So Right. I also had a 03 Silverado Duramax dually I traded for a 07 GMC Classic Duramax and I sometimes get confused in my old age, but it’s too late to edit that post.
It’s held up, just like the rest of the truck!
GM needs this to compete with the Bronco/wrangler but it should have 18” wheels and not be so low to ground. I’d buy a 2 door tahoe in a heartbeat
