The GM Authority Take
Cumulative GMC Yukon sales posted solid gains during Q1 2025, as did GM’s best-selling Chevy Tahoe and Suburban duo. In fact, these models were the only ones to be in the green, combining to give The General a whopping 71 percent share.
We attribute the healthy volume and solid growth to the refreshed Yukon family, which launched late last year as 2025 models. The updates make the Yukon more competitive, with ample supply at the dealer level also being instrumental in the positive results.
But FoMoCo has answered with its redesigned 2025 Ford Expedition, offering features not found in Chevy and GMC SUVs in order to take on The General. Since The Blue Oval’s updated flagship just arrived during Q1 2025, sales are currently impacted by a generational changeover, so time will tell to see if the updated model makes a dent in GM sales.
About GMC Yukon And Yukon XL
The refreshed 2025 GMC Yukon boasts a long list of updates that enhance its design, comfort, and functionality. It’s highlighted by a refreshed exterior, revamped cabin, and cutting-edge tech, including new towing technology.
The updated SUV introduces two new trim levels: Elevation and AT4 Ultimate. The new AT4 Ultimate coincides with the 5th anniversary of the off-road-focused GMC AT4 sub-brand. Much like the GMC Canyon, Acadia, and Terrain, the 2025 GMC Yukon replaces the SLE and SLT trims with Elevation as the new entry-level one, resulting in the Yukon losing this family friendly seating feature.
The exterior of the 2025 Yukon shows off a truck-like attitude, with unique grille patterns and eye-catching animated lighting signatures. The cabin centers around a large, vertical 16.8-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment Center.
The refreshed 2025 Yukon offers several new appearance packages and updated engine availability, but doesn’t offer these three paint colors. Here are the 2025 Yukon paint colors, the interior colorways, and available wheels, plus all the front fascias. However, these three wheels are no longer available to order.
The 2025 Yukon Denali Ultimate also gets a new Executive Second-Row Seating Package, but, inexplicably, the Yukon XL does not.
To that end, for 2025, the GMC Yukon AT4 finally gets a diesel engine option for the first time, featuring the new 3.0L I6 LZ0 turbodiesel Duramax engine, with ordering for that powerplant kicking off on March 3rd. As before, the 2025 Yukon will continue to offer two gasoline engine options: the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 and naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87. Notably, the latter is not offered on the Elevation trim.
Also, a special 2025 GMC Yukon Denali 25th Anniversary Edition celebrates Denali sub-brand success.

Comments
Can you say dominance? GM should develop a Defender-inspired model based on the Colorado, featuring a true ZR2 trim across its full-size lineup. With their production volume, this is entirely feasible. A Tahoe or Yukon designed to rival the Land Cruiser or Range Rover would be a game-changer, boasting improved front and rear clearance, rock sliders, larger wheels, and more rugged features. There’s no need for a Suburban variant—just focus on Tahoe and Yukon models. A Cadillac version isn’t necessary either, but GMC could explore Hummer-inspired variants for added appeal.
Additionally, GM should introduce hybrid and diesel options for their mid-size SUVs to compete with Toyota and prioritize bringing manufacturing back to the United States.
