The 2025 GMC Yukon represents the fifth generation Yukon’s fifth model year, for which it received a mid-cycle refresh. It’s worth noting that this revision was initially expected for the 2024 model year, but was delayed until the 2025 MY instead.
This change followed the 2021 Yukon, which received a complete overhaul (re-engineering and redesign), along with minor changes to the 2022 Yukon, 2023 Yukon, and 2024 Yukon.
