What It’s Like Inside the 2025 Yukon Denali: Luxury That Lives Up to the Hype

If you prioritize plenty of space in the cabin and a powerful engine under the hood, the GMC Yukon should be at the top of your shopping list. This large SUV has adult-friendly seating across its three rows, an expansive cargo area, impressive towing capabilities, and a selection of powerful engine options. GMC has given the Yukon a bit of an upgrade for 2025, which includes some new features for the popular luxury Denali trim. Let’s take a closer look at everything the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali has to offer.

2025 Yukon Overhaul

The 2025 Yukon is the largest SUV in GMC’s lineup, with room for eight passengers to comfortably fit into the cabin. Many of the new upgrades that you’ll see on the Denali and other trims in 2025 are focused on exterior design and the powertrain. For example, the front end gets a facelift with a new grill and fascia, and there’s a more powerful version of the turbocharged six-cylinder diesel engine on offer.

However, some of the changes inside the Yukon Denali’s cabin are just as significant. You can look forward to a massive 16.8-inch infotainment screen positioned on a redesigned dashboard, a substantial growth from the 10.6-inch display that was available in previous editions of the Denali. Upscale leather upholstery, heated seats, and other luxuries continue to help make the Denali trim stand out as a top choice for comfort-conscious drivers.

Premium Comfort Features

The 2025 Yukon Denali has comfort written all over its interior. In addition to relaxing leather seats, you’ll notice upscale wood trim and chrome accents throughout the cabin. Take your seat behind the wheel or in the front passenger’s seat, and you can enjoy heating, ventilation, and massage settings. The power adjustments in the front row offer 16-way adjustability so you can find your ideal seating position.

Further back, the second-row captain’s chairs that come standard in the Denali trim offer a comfortable place to stretch out. The second row also has a power-folding mechanism that makes it easier for you to stow the seats if you’re transporting larger cargo items. With both rear rows folded flat, the Yukon Denali has a generous 133 cubic feet of cargo space, but if you need even more room, try the Yukon XL — it has an extended wheelbase and offers up to 145 cubic feet of cargo space.

Infotainment accessibility has never been easier, with a 16.8-inch touch screen, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can select your favorite music or podcasts, check the latest traffic reports with your own navigation system, and adjust the Yukon’s air conditioning so everyone enjoys a comfortable ride. All passengers can enjoy high-quality sound through the premium 14-speaker stereo.

2025 GMC Yukon Denali Safety and Driver-Assistance Tech

You can rely on a long list of safety features to assist you when you’re behind the wheel of the 2025 Denali. GMC includes collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking to help you avoid accidents from both the front and the rear. When you hit the highway, lane departure warning and lane-keep assist will help you stay centered while automatic high-beam headlights facilitate good visibility under all conditions. The Yukon Denali also features a rear-seat alert, which ensures you never accidentally leave the vehicle without checking for kids or pets in the back.

Although the Yukon is a big SUV — not to mention the even-bigger Yukon XL — GMC equips it with plenty of features to make maneuvering the vehicle a breeze. Front and rear parking sensors help you squeeze into parking spots without too much trouble, and a surround-view parking camera gives you an aerial view as an extra precaution. You also have the option of upgrading to GMC’s Super Cruise. This semi-automated driving system can take over steering, speed adjustment, and braking on certain stretches of highways across the country.

Customization and Trim Options

If you want even more luxury than the Denali trim offers, you can opt for the Yukon Denali Ultimate. It comes with full-grain leather upholstery and a 22-speaker premium stereo, with second-row speakers built into the captain’s chairs for optimal performance. Standout features on the exterior include 24-inch wheels and standard four-wheel drive. As with the Denali trim, you can stick with the standard turbodiesel engine or upgrade to a powerful V-8.

At our GMC parts department, you can find a range of other OEM accessories that can help you to configure your 2025 Denali to your liking. Floor mats for additional comfort, cargo organizers to make it easier to stow your gear, and upgraded seat coverings are just some of the options you can consider. These accessories can allow you to create your ideal SUV without having to opt for a higher trim level.
