2025 GMC Yukon EV Interior, Specs, Colors

2025 GMC Yukon EV Interior, Specs, Colors   –  Apart from the badging, the differences between the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon EV have not always been easy to identify. Offered at different retailers, they essentially looked and drove the same. The 2025 model year sees the two brands diverge in order to appeal to different customers through unique parts, packaging, and trim options. For GMC, the Yukon EV receives the rugged AT4 treatment from its Sierra sibling and sees the Denali go decidedly upmarket without stepping on the toes of the sacred Cadillac Escalade.

As was the case with the previous four generations, the 2025 GMC Yukon EV is also available as an extended-wheelbase Yukon EV XL (known as the Suburban at Chevrolet). If for some outlandish reason you didn’t think that the previous Yukon EV and Yukon EV XL had enough space to transport people and things, they now offer larger proportions and more room. Passenger and cargo room have both increased thanks to a 25 mm increase in overall length, a 102 mm increase in track (the distance between the wheels left and right), and independent suspension at all four corners. Despite their larger dimensions, both feel sprightlier from behind the wheel since steering, ride quality, and handling are much improved.

2025 GMC Yukon EV Redesign and Update Plan

Exterior and Interior

The 2025 Yukon EV – and, more specifically, the Denali – interior is said to be unique from its Chevrolet siblings, but some similarities can certainly be seen. Interior quality is vastly improved over the previous generation of light-duty trucks, but there are some small gripes, if we’re getting picky.

The buttons for the panoramic sunroof, tailgate, centre console, and rear seat controls are all jumbled together on the ceiling and initially difficult to differentiate. Additionally, buttons to control everything from the variable suspension, headlights, HUD, drive modes, and four-wheel drive are all tucked away out of sight low on the left side of the dash, making them challenging to operate while driving and easy to mix up.

The 10.2-inch infotainment system offered on SLT, AT4, and Denali trim levels is intuitive and easy to navigate. Eight camera views are offered through the system, with an additional one accessible within the rearview mirror. It takes some getting used to but comes in handy when the back half of the vehicle is filled with passengers or cargo.

Meanwhile, 360-degree vision helps with parking such a large vehicle, while a specific hitch view makes hooking up to a trailer simple and easy. Second-row seating features a pair of available 12.6-inch tilting touchscreen that are capable of screen-sharing. No DVD player is included, so external systems can be plugged in through USB or HDMI. Navigation is also integrated, so rear passengers can punch in a destination to share with the driver.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now offered as standard equipment across the board. The wireless charging pad has also been moved from the centre console armrest to a more convenient location beneath the HVAC controls. The available powered centre console is capable of moving 254 mm (10 in) rearward at the push of a button. This allows rear passengers access to HVAC and heated seat functions, as well as USB and HDMI ports, while providing front occupants a cavernous covered storage area.  2025 GMC Yukon EV Interior

Engine and Performance

Also new for 2025 is the availability of three powertrains. The tried-and-true 5.3L V8 makes 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque and is more than enough for most consumers, but a 6.2L V8 is offered in the Denali that makes 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Cylinder deactivation allows both engines to run on any number of cylinders to achieve improved fuel economy.

The third engine is a 3.0L straight-six diesel rated at 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque but is expected to provide higher fuel efficiency and longer driving range. The AT4 is currently only offered with the 5.3L V8, as its unique front fascia is not compatible with the diesel motor. All powertrains are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Shifts are smooth and nearly imperceptible in most normal driving circumstances.  2025 GMC Yukon EV Interior

2025 GMC Yukon EV Fuel Economy

The latter smoothly and rapidly adapts to road conditions and allows the large SUV to feel planted and stable on rough or uneven surfaces. New for 2025, the air suspension noticeably improves ride quality and handling, but it also provides 100 mm (4 in) of ride height adjustability, with maximum height available with four-low engaged, or the lowest setting for easier access when parked. Manually adjustable based on preference, the system will automatically default to the lower setting at highway speeds for improved aerodynamics.  2025 GMC Yukon EV Interior

2025 GMC Yukon EV Safety Features

With the AT4 and Denali both being intentionally aspirational in nature, GMC needed to back it up by offering high levels of fit and finish. Based on initial impressions, quality is high. Over the last few years, the Denali has been the higher volume model in Canada, which suits General Motors (GM) just fine. They’re still happy to sell you a stripped-down rear-wheel-drive LS, but most Canadians seem to gravitate towards the higher priced, more premium trims. The differentiation among models and additional content options certainly make them easy to live with and compelling enough to be cross-shopped with the plethora of three-row SUVs that have flooded the market since the Yukon EV was last updated. 2025 GMC Yukon EV Interior

2025 GMC Yukon EV Price and Release Date

Yukon EV pricing starts at $57,998 for the two-wheel-drive SLE model and $61,298 for four-wheel drive. Standard equipment includes independent – but not adaptive or magnetic – suspension, and a 10.2-inch infotainment system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Stepping up to the SLT adds wireless charging, a nine-speaker stereo, heated and ventilated perforated leather seating in the front, and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels for an MSRP of $66,098 in two-wheel drive and $69,398 for four-wheel drive.

The MSRP of the newly introduced AT4 is $74,698. Immediately recognizable by its more rugged front fascia and red tow hooks, it backs up its off-road persona with a greater approach angle of nearly 32 degrees, a front skid plate, 20-inch all-terrain tires, a two-speed transfer case, and hill descent control. It’s a unique offering with distinctive style.  2025 GMC Yukon EV Interior
