Is the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali a BETTER luxury SUV than a Cadillac Escalade?

The Yukon Denali 25th Anniversary Edition is here and GMC is bringing BIG changes for 2025. On the outside you will find 24in wheels, 6-piston BREMBO brakes and black accents. On the inside you will be greeted to a full leather interior. Under the hood is a 6.2L V8 producing 420HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

This is a full size SUV I would actually consider....if I could afford it.

I bought the 24 Yukon Denali Ultimate not knowing the 25 was going to be a refresh. These new ones are even prettier.

I’m a more of a Japanese fanboy … but i don’t think there is a Generation of the Yukon or Tahoe I didn’t love

[juliew]

Hope your going to show us the Elevation trim next, hopefully a little more affordable

[JayWerx]

It’s like a Yukon Denali RST with the styling. Just gorgeous.

[joe_smalls]

Nice!! I hope the 25th anniversary also comes in black and not just limited to white.

Hey Joe, the 2025 Yukon Denali will mark GMC's entry into Australia for the for first time by GMSV a subsidiary of GM. It will be reengineered to right hand drive by Walkinshaw in Melbourne Victoria, alongside the Chevrolet Silverado, Tundra and Ram. Walkinshaw used to produce muscle cars under the brand HSV (Holden Special Vehicles).
Love your work!

This is bad you know what man! Love the refresh, love the blacked out wheels. If I had $100K to spare it’d be a real tossup between this and the Escalade!

Joe how do you like this tablet style touchscreen vs the new wider one in the Tahoe/Suburban?

raiti you're becoming my favorite car reviewer, great information and for things like @7:30 lmao

[waynewallace]

This looks nice in white with those red calipers.

[LukeThomas]

Hey Rati! You should start doing comparing videos! I would love to see this compared to a Wagoneer III. Also, I'm not sure i like that vertical infotainment. I like the more of a wagoneer style a little popped out, but still horizontal.

[davonne]

those wheels are sick. Interior is on point for sure. Love the beefy arm rests too. Great that they give you 3 different menu options. GMC is bringing it for sure.

[davidp]

Those styling cues are subtle but make a huge difference.

[jasonthrash]

This one is really up my alley! I have always went with GMC over Chevy but both have those naturally aspirated V8 choices. Hope you and Lori are enjoying yourselves 😊

M'y Dream car YUKON DENALI ULTIMATE XL 💯✅💪🏿🇺🇸

[G-Rated]

As soon as I took delivery I’d get my exterior paint protection applied I’d also have one applied to all the gloss black in the interior to preserve its finish over the years as well. Small investment but will definitely help with resale value of a truck that already does a good job of holding its value. The fee would be minuscule due to the amount of gloss black found inside, it ain’t much.

My wife loves her 24 GMC Acadia Denali Ultimate .
There is no way to fit a Yukon and 24 Colorado Trail Boss in our garage 😂

The new Acadia is just as luxurious as the Yukon, but we don’t spend $300 on a 10 quart oil change, like I did on the Camaro I traded for the Colorado .

[dejonbuick]

Wow, Joe this is a great looking SUV, you Did a good review also, and I think this will out sale the 2025 escalade, what do you think my friend.😊😊😊
