The 2025 GMC Yukon XL doesn’t shy away from its size—or its purpose. Known for being the extended version of GMC’s flagship full-size SUV, the Yukon XL enters the new model year with refined design elements, expanded digital features, and the same commanding presence Canadians have come to rely on.
What’s changed from 2024? GMC has added updated grille designs across select trims, sleeker LED lighting signatures, and minor tweaks to trim lines, bringing a more modern edge to this classic powerhouse. These small shifts make the XL feel more current without altering what makes it one of the most capable SUVs in the segment.
An Interior That Doubles as a Command Centre
Infotainment and connectivity have been significantly enhanced. The 2025 XL now offers a 16.8-inch diagonal infotainment display—standard across most trims—paired with an 11-inch digital driver cluster. These curved displays offer better contrast and visibility, especially during long road trips or snowy drives through Ontario’s backroads.
Google Built-In joins the suite of tech tools, giving drivers access to navigation, real-time traffic, voice commands, and app integration without needing a smartphone. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto remain wireless and standard. Higher trims unlock a premium Bose® audio system, head-up display, and available rear-seat media system, all making the SUV XL as entertaining as it is capable.
Styling That Matches the Muscle
On the outside, it carries forward its strong profile with new wheel designs, standard 24-inch and subtle front-end revisions. Depending on the trim, you’ll find bold chrome accents or darkened finishes for a sportier appearance. The overall design continues to reflect GMC’s Professional Grade DNA—clean lines, broad shoulders, and a stance that feels ready for the open road.
Trims like AT4 and Denali distinguish themselves even further with signature badging and unique lighting elements that reflect their off-road or luxury leanings.
Cabin Space Built for Life in Ontario
One of the XL’s strongest advantages is space. With a longer wheelbase than the standard Yukon, it delivers massive rear cargo capacity—perfect for family road trips, business hauls, or sports gear. With all three rows in place, it still offers generous luggage room, and when the seats are folded, there’s nearly unmatched storage volume in the full-size SUV class.
Interior materials have also improved for 2025. Expect soft-touch surfaces, improved stitching, and climate control settings for all three rows. Ventilated front seats and heated second-row captain’s chairs are available on most upper trims, making long winter drives more comfortable.
Power That Feels Effortless
Under the hood, it continues to offer a trio of engine choices, starting with the 5.3-litre V8 making 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Those looking for more grunt can upgrade to a 6.2-litre V8 producing 420 hp or opt for the 3.0-litre Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine for better highway efficiency and torque (up to 495 lb-ft). All engines pair with a ten-speed automatic transmission.
Whether you’re towing up to 8,400 lbs or driving across Ontario’s diverse terrain, this SUV handles it all with confident ease. Four-wheel drive remains available across all trims, offering added traction during those unpredictable Canadian winters.
Safety That Scales With Size
Advanced safety comes standard in the 2025 model. Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and IntelliBeam auto high beams are included in every model. More premium trims offer features such as HD Surround Vision, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and available Super Cruise for hands-free highway driving on pre-mapped routes in Canada.
