General Motors continues the international deployment of the refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon and has just introduced the updated GMC full-size SUV in the Middle East.
The automaker’s Middle East GMC team unveiled the refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon for the first time during a special event in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates. The exclusive event marks the regional debut of the 2025 Yukon in Southwest Asia countries – the brand’s largest ancillary volume market outside of North America – where it will arrive during the first half of next year.
“For over 33 years, GMC Yukon has been a symbol of power, boldness and luxury in the region, and firmly established itself as the cornerstone of the GMC brand,” said CMO for GMC Middle East, Furrukh Juwaid. “The updated Yukon launch marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in this legacy, driven by one bold vision: More Power To You. It’s about delivering more capability, more technology, more innovation and more power to go wherever the road may lead,” he added.
As such, the Middle East becomes the third international market to receive the refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon following the recent official introduction of GMC’s refreshed flagship SUV in Oceania and its launch in China in November. Unlike the model’s Denali-only lineup in both markets, the 2025 Yukon was introduced in Arabia with a full lineup of four trim levels including Elevation, AT4, AT4 Ultimate and Denali.
Additionally, the 2025 GMC Yukon’s powertrain offering for the Middle East is also broader, with the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 and 6.2L V8 L87 engines depending on the trim, mated to GM’s 10-speed automatic transmission. All trim levels come standard with the premium 16.8-inch infotainment system, as well as an enhanced suite of safety and comfort features.
The refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon will be officially launched in Middle East countries early next year, when GM’s regional subsidiary will announce full configuration details and model availability in each country of the region. During the presentation, GMC emphasized the new AT4 Ultimate version with greater refinement and off-road capabilities to enjoy the most demanding routes in the Arabian desert.
