General Motors will debut a model refresh for the GMC Yukon full-size SUV in conjunction with the 2025 model year, with a long of updates and changes expected. Among these will be an overhauled cabin brimming with the latest infotainment tech. The question is – will the 2025 GMC Yukon get the same infotainment screen as the GMC Sierra EV and 2024 GMC Acadia?
2024 GMC Acadia
For those readers who may be unaware, General Motors unveiled the all-new 2024 GMC Acadia last month, pulling the sheets on the crossover’s latest third generation. Among the updates was a new interior design featuring a large, vertically oriented (portrait-style) infotainment screen in the center console. The 2024 GMC Acadia’s screen layout is similar to that of the GMC Sierra EV, which also incorporates a vertically oriented infotainment screen in the center console.
Judging by these two new GMC products, it certainly seems logical that the refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon will also incorporate a portrait-style infotainment screen. The refreshed SUV is also expected to include a new digital instrument cluster, plus a new shifter mechanism. For now, it’s unclear if the 2025 GMC Yukon will once again offer unique cockpit layouts that differentiate the Denali and Denali Utlimate trim levels from the rest of the lineup. To note, the 2025 GMC Yukon will also incorporate 5G network connectivity, as GM Authority exclusively covered previously.
GMC Sierra EV
Beyond the overhauled cabin, the refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon will present new exterior styling that falls in line with GMC’s latest design trends, with new C-shaped headlights, new taillights, and a new roof-mounted communications fin, the latter of which will enable 5G connectivity.
As for the powertrain, the 2025 GMC Yukon will offer three engine options, including the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, and the 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel Duramax engine. The new LZ0 will replace the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine offered currently.
The GM T1 platform will provide the underpinnings, while production will take place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

I hate those monster screens. The current ones in the denali/ultimate that don’t look like a mounted tablet are great. Hopefully we can have that option with the LZ0 Duramax at some point!
Current 3.0 Duramax is a great engine. Great on fuel economy at 8L/100kms. New lz0 Duramax is a little harder on fuel in the trucks.
Have a 22 Yukon Denali, I think the current dashboard is much nicer, i don’t think the screen should be the tablet look, look at Fords terrible tablet dash
The screens in the Acadia look much better than those in the Sierra EV with that binnacle covering the tops, especially the instrument cluster.
Well, that looks like crap! I guess it is ok if you want to buy a fordram GMC that looks like crap, but since I’ve seen the Silverado/Sierra screen, I personally wouldn’t consider a new fordram GMC piece of crap.
I’ll keep my ’23 Silverado High Country.
I was sold on a Yukon…until I saw the interior. I was then literally going to buy a 2024 Sierra over a Yukon simply for the dash. Ended up with a TRX, but that’s a whole nother story. Point being, the dash was important enough to keep me from switching into a whole new TYPE of vehicle. We spend hours in our vehicles and the interior is like our livingroom.
