2025 GMC Yukon Denali: Luxury in every seat
The Yukon Denali 4WD will be offered to Australian customers in GM’s premium, feature-packed, eight-seat Professional Grade specification at a list price of $174,990 plus on-road costs and dealer delivery.
The Denali is the standard-bearer of the GMC Yukon SUV range, with the Professional Grade at its peak.
Driver comfort and convenience begins with an 11-inch digital, high-contrast driver display cluster coupled to a 15-inch colour Head-Up Display, linked to steering wheel controls for optimised functionality.
The combination of 12-way electrically adjustable front seats, paired to an electrically adjustable tilting, telescoping, heated steering wheel, ensures a perfect position and comfort for all drivers.
The perforated leather seating offers heating and ventilation for front seat passengers, and heating for the rear seats.
The fully integrated Tri-Zone climate control system has adjustable overhead vents to all rows of seating, with an additional 8.0-inch rear climate control display. The Yukon Denali is family-friendly, too, with three child seat anchor points provided.
Inside the high-tech cabin, the centrally located GMC Premium Infotainment System sits between the front driver and passenger seats and is controlled via a portrait-style 16.8-inch touch screen with split screen capability, organisable icons, smart phone-like intuition and seamless connectivity options.
It runs multiple apps simultaneously, such as the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while also allowing viewing of up to 11 camera views via a 360-degree HD camera system.
Wireless phone charging is provided up front, along with four USB ports, while premium quality sound is assured courtesy of a Bose® 14-speaker high fidelity system.
All Yukon Denali occupants travel first class. The rear-seat passengers have separate 12.6-inch colour high-definition touch screens, each with HDMI input for viewing their preferred entertainment, while overhead, a panoramic dual-pane power sunroof with powered sliding sunshade provides a serene sense of cabin spaciousness and a luxurious ambience.
Acoustic laminated glass all round, tinted for rear seat passengers, delivers outstanding noise reduction and there are eight cupholders located throughout the cabin.
To assist occupant entry and egress, power-operated retracting side steps are standard equipment.
The extensive Yukon Denali safety suite includes six airbags, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Park Assist, Front Pedestrian and Cyclist Braking, Safety Alert Seat,
Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Side Cyclist Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Reverse Automatic Braking and more.
2025 GMC Yukon Denali: Bold, beautiful
The Denali Yukon SUV 4WD has a bold and unmistakable road presence, riding exclusively on 24-inch machined and painted Nickel Pearl wheels – the largest offered on a production car sold in Australia and New Zealand – with 285/40 series all-weather tyres.
The sculpted bodywork delivers a powerful visual statement, tempered by strong attention to design detail.
As chief exterior designer Holt Ware described “when you tick the Denali box, you get it all”.
The nose has a bold, Denali-exclusive polished satin-chrome grille, matched with satin chrome bodyside mouldings and door handles with a body-colour strip. The heated exterior mirrors are in body colour. Galvano chrome accents line the window openings, are used for the bodyside mouldings, and stretch across the power-operated tailgate.
The four rear exhaust exits are chrome-tipped to match.
The Denali is equipped with all-LED lighting front and rear, with GM’s signature C-shaped Daytime Running Lights wrapping around the vertical jewel-like headlights incorporating GM’s Intellibeam system, which monitors exterior lighting conditions, turning the high beams on and off as needed, depending on vehicle speed.
Yukon Denali customers can choose from seven body colours including Onyx Black, Downpour Metallic Blue, Volcanic Red Tintcoat, Titanium Rush metallic, Sterling Metallic and White Frost Tricoat.
The premium look and feel of the Yukon’s interior are enhanced by Denali-exclusive Fractal stitching on the seats, which are heated and ventilated for the driver and front passenger, with heating for the second row of seats.
The panoramic sunroof is a dual-pane, tilt-slide, with an express open/close capability and a full-length power sunshade.
High-quality materials are used throughout, including authentic wood detailing and an innovative pivoting door for the cup-holder console. Eight cupholders are provided.
The cabin is designed for both comfort and versatility. When extra or awkward loads are carried, in addition to its huge rear cargo space, the second and third rows of seats fold completely flat, with the rear seats split-folded to generate a huge volume of useable interior room.
Access to the cargo area by the power-operated rear tailgate can be done one of four ways, either from a button inside the cabin, on the tailgate itself, by using the key fob or remotely via the activatable AutoSense Power Liftgate feature that can automatically open the liftgate when it senses the key fob at the rear of the vehicle for several seconds.
The four side doors open wide for easy cabin access, triggering the power-activated side steps and revealing bright sill plates embossed with the Denali logo.
