It’s a bit difficult to determine whether the 2025 GMC Yukon is actually released as the 2024 model. With so many challenges and obstacles during the production, it’s quite logical if auto manufacturers would put a delay to their production timeline, ‘forcing’ them to tweak the model design. There have been some updates concerning the 2024 Yukon model, but rumor has it that it’s actually would be released as the 2025 model instead, because of the challenges happening to the production process.
About the New Yukon
The current Yukon we have on the market is the fifth gen that debuted back then in 2021. The upcoming model (the so-called 2024 release) is meant to deliver a mid-cycle improvement that is quite extensive. The Yukon has been spotted undergoing the testing stage, still wearing the camouflage, to see the outcome.
Design and Style
There have been two prototypes (in camo) that have been caught in the testing stage. Despite the camo, we can still see some interesting signs and hints of the possibly new model. For a starter, the design will cater to having front fascia looking brand new. There would be reshaped lighting, broad grille style, and others. The signature lighting (with the C-shaped design) would be incorporated again into the design. However, they may be brighter and somewhat bigger, with the central (vertical) lighting elements looking new and fresh.
It seems that the GMC Sierra has inspired the overall design and style, while the LED signatures are probably taking the cues from GMC Sierra EV. The LED has created a highlight of the updated appearance.
Changes would also take place on the lower fascia. The new fog lights would have a refreshed design. It will no longer use the vertical orientation (which is used by the current model) and replace it with a rounder projector style designs. These models have been viewed on Denali, and there have been some cues that the same Denali-look alike grille would be incorporated within the new Yukon.
The wheels would also show that the same wheels from Denali would be included in the new design. One of the prototypes comes with a set of big wheels, most likely between 22 inches and 24 inches. On the back, camo is still used, which suggests that changes will also take place there. It’s most likely that the updates may happen to the taillight housings. There is always a possibility that LED lights would also be included.
The Interior Cabin
Besides the changes happening to the exterior area of 2025 Toyota Yukon, the changes also happen to the interior cabin. It’s not only about the aesthetics, but there would also be improvements to the interior cabin, especially to the technologies.
From the covered camouflage, there are some obvious cutouts look, side mirrors’ cameras, and roof mounted antenna. All of these combinations show that there is a possibility that you can find new driver assist technologies – most likely the GM Ultra Cruise technology. Changes will likely take place on the onboard infotainment screens and also the interior layout.
Yukon has always been known for its spacious cabin. It won’t change for the new Yukon. You can expect roomy cabin that can accommodate passengers as well as cargo. It means that you can take cargo as much as you like and you can still enjoy the comfortable roomy layout.
New technology, especially the Ultra Cruise, should be expected. This is a new technology for autonomous drive. With this technology, it’s expected that the new Yukon would have better safety features without compromising performance and comfort. We still don’t know much about the exact release date and the price of the 2025 Toyota Yukon, so let’s wait and see.
