Power, practicality, and luxury come together to bring us the 2025 GMC Yukon XL. We discuss the unique attributes of five trim configurations that will help you tailor this extra-large three-row SUV to your lifestyle.

1. Elevation
We begin with the Elevation, an impressive SUV powered by a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8. Although this is GMC’s entry-level model, the Elevation is equipped with many premium features, such as textured assist steps, 20-inch wheels, LED lighting, and a power liftgate.
Measuring just over 225 inches in length, the Yukon XL boasts a very spacious CorTec and leather-appointed interior that comfortably seats eight people. Front passengers receive heated eight-way adjustable power seats, while those in the second row enjoy heated seats. Vehicle data is relayed to the driver via an 11-inch diagonal instrument cluster, and a surround vision ​monitor is equipped as standard. At the heart of the infotainment system is a 16.8-inch touchscreen with Google Built-in and integrated navigation.
2. AT4
Off-road adventures are on the cards with the AT4. GMC increases this trim’s approach angle and adds all-terrain tires, front skid plates, and recovery hooks. Roof rails ensure you can carry all the camping equipment and other gear needed for weekend getaways. Perforated leather elevates the luxury inside the cabin, and drivers can easily configure the cockpit to their liking thanks to a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel.
3. Denali
Although the Denali loses the off-road enhancements of the AT4, it grows in power by swapping the engine for a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8. This trim also gains 20-inch six-spoke polished wheels and a head-up display.
4. AT4 Ultimate
The AT4 Ultimate is a new addition to the Yukon XL lineup for 2025 and blends the AT4’s off-road capabilities with the power of the Denali. All-wheel drive is standard, as is an adaptive suspension and enhanced cooling radiator.
GMC upgrades the interior with full-grain leather and a panoramic sunroof. Passengers in the rear can now control the temperature using the new eight-inch climate control panel. The Ultimate also introduces a rear media system, which includes two 12.6-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats.
5. Denali Ultimate
Topping the list is the Denali Ultimate, the most luxurious Yukon of all. Dark 24-inch metallic wheels are added to the exterior, while the cabin receives Woodland Mahogany full-grain leather upholstery. Front occupants enjoy the height of comfort, as their new 16-way adjustable seats boast a massage feature.
Whether you opt for the budget-friendly Elevation or the ultra-plush Denali Ultimate, you’ll be buying a luxury SUV ready to take on the demands of family life. Visit Coughlin Chevrolet Buick GMC Newark in Newark, OH, today to check out the Yukon XL lineup for yourself.
