​​The 2025 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate: Understated Luxury

Luxury is measured by how it feels to you. It does not have to necessarily be ostentatious or showy. It can be subtle enough to “fly under the radar.” Case in point: the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate.  

DuPont Registry recently reviewed the 2025 Yukon Denali Ultimate to discover exactly how luxury can be subtle, but still feel incredible. However, they admit that our flagship SUV “wasn’t on my radar” and that their “only contact with the Yukon…has been from the back seat of an Uber Black.” 

Available in both Yukon and Yukon XL, the 2025 Denali Ultimate packs a lot more equipment than your average Denali. That includes exclusive features, such as four-corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, Super Cruise with a three-year OnStar Super Cruise Plan, Woodland Mahogany full-grain leather seating surfaces, 16-way power front seats with a massage feature, and 24-inch machined aluminum wheels with After Midnight Metallic Finish.  

If the standard equipment on the 2025 Yukon Denali Ultimate is not enough, there are available features you can add to it. They include second-row executive seating with heating, ventilation, and massage features, speakers for the head restraints that are a part of the Bose Performance Series Sound System, and night vision. 

The 2025 Yukon Denali Ultimate models are powered by a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine or a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel with 495 pound-feet of torque. Either engine comes standard with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.  

Also standard is the 16.8-inch diagonal Premium GMC Infotainment System with Google Built-in. DuPont Registry remarked that the new touchscreen “makes reading maps at a glance effortless while offering enough real estate to have multiple apps open simultaneously.” 

Physical controls are easy to use and access, as DuPont Registry has experienced. They said that “GMC made the excellent decision to retain physical controls via a row of switches that are almost hidden in plain sight. The result is an interior that feels high-tech without losing its tactility.” 

High praise was also given to the Super Cruise. DuPont Registry reported that “[n]ot only does it allow for hands-free driving, but it also does a good job of keeping this family hauler centered in the lane, even if…road markings aren’t always the most clearly defined.” 

How did DuPont Registry like the 2025 Yukon Denali Ultimate on the road? They said that it is “a pleasant place to be. It remains relatively quiet on the highway. Its front seats are supportive but not firm, and this truck’s air suspension system has no trouble soaking up larger bumps at speed.” 

In summary, DuPont Registry stated, “the Yukon manages to offer a luxury SUV experience in a package that allows you to fly under the radar.”
