The 2025 GMC Yukon continues to impress as a premium full-size SUV, offering exceptional versatility, comfort, and capability. With three rows accommodating up to eight passengers, the Yukon delivers a quiet, luxurious ride thanks to its independent rear suspension. Powertrains include two robust V-8 options and an impressively efficient diesel.
The new Elevation trim is the Yukon’s base trim, replacing the previous SLE and SLT models. Despite being the entry-level model, the 2025 Yukon Elevation lease deal comes well-equipped with essential features and technology, making it a practical choice for families who need spacious transportation without splurging on the more opulent variants.
Engine and Transmission
The 2025 Yukon Elevation delivers powerful performance with its standard 5.3-liter naturally-aspirated V8 that makes 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Despite being the base engine, it offers respectable acceleration and confident towing capability. For those seeking efficiency without sacrificing strength, the 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel with 305 hp and 495 lb-ft provides impressive torque and fuel economy. Both engines pair with a responsive 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Unfortunately, the top-of-the-range 420-hp 6.2-liter V8 is unavailable on the Elevation trim.
The Yukon Elevation features a new column-mounted shifter that enhances usability. Its Premium Smooth Ride suspension balances comfort with controlled handling, while the mechanical limited-slip differential improves traction. The single-outlet exhaust complements the Elevation’s bold aesthetic without sacrificing performance.
Fuel Economy
According to the EPA, the standard Yukon Elevation with the 355-hp V8 and rear-wheel drive earns a fuel economy rating of 15 mpg in the city, 20 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg combined.
Interior and Tech
The Yukon Elevation impresses with its tech-forward cabin, showcasing a commanding 16.8-inch vertical touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity. The driver enjoys an expansive 11.0-inch digital information center, while premium sound comes through a 10-speaker Bose Surround system with Centerpoint technology.
Comfort features include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and second-row outboard heated seats with power-release functionality. Safety is enhanced with High-Definition Surround Vision, which provides complete exterior awareness. Typical of GMC SUVs, the Yukon Elevation’s thoughtfully designed interior balances luxury, technology, and everyday practicality in a compelling package.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Despite being the entry-level trim, the Yukon Elevation gets a plethora of cutting-edge technologies to bolster driving convenience and ensure passenger safety. Highlights of the 2025 Yukon Elevation include:
- Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian detection
- Forward Collision Alert
- Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist
- HD Surround Vision
- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure awarning
