2025 GMC Yukon Denali price and specs
UPDATED 12/05/2025 12:00pm: GM Australia and New Zealand has confirmed aftersales information for the GMC Yukon Denali, which we've updated below, and our launch review is now live.
General Motors is gunning for the likes of the Lexus LX in Australia with the new 2025 GMC Yukon Denali.
Orders have opened for the full-size luxury SUV ahead of deliveries occurring over the third quarter of 2025..
It wears a price tag of $174,990 before on-road costs, with GM Australia and New Zealand confirming on April 15 it was raising the Yukon Denali's price by $5000 due to "ongoing foreign exchange rate volatility and cost increases".
This puts the V8-powered eight-seat SUV between entry-level and mid-range versions of the twin-turbo petrol V6-powered Lexus LX 600.
The Yukon Denali is being locally remanufactured to right-hand drive in Melbourne by Walkinshaw Automotive, like the Chevrolet Silverado pickup it's related to.
Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now.
GM Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) has opted to bring in only a single trim of the Yukon: the Denali, which until recently was the fanciest member of the lineup.
In markets like the US, there's an even fancier Denali Ultimate that adds another eight speakers and massaging front seats, as well as unique interior trim.
You can also get an extended-wheelbase version of the Yukon called the Yukon XL, but that's not coming here.
The Yukon Denali is the first GMC vehicle that General Motors has brought to Australia.
It offers most of the luxury accoutrements of the Cadillac Escalade which GM has thus far opted not to bring here, instead confirming its flagship brand will sell only electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia.
GMC historically did little more than rebadge Chevrolet vehicles, but over the past several years GM has invested more in the brand to give its vehicles greater differentiation inside and out.
GM is taking its GMC brand – which has largely been limited to North America and the Middle East – to more markets around the globe. In addition to launching in Australia and New Zealand, it's also entering the Chinese market.
The Yukon Denali will be sold through the existing GMSV dealer network alongside the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Silverado HD and Corvette.
There's just one engine on offer: a direct-injected, naturally aspirated 6.2-litre petrol V8 with cylinder deactivation.
The Yukon Denali rides on Air Ride adaptive suspension with GM's Magnetic Ride Control, adaptive suspension technology also used by brands like Ferrari, which features dampers with magnetorheological fluid.
Its Active Response four-wheel drive system includes an electronic limited-slip differential and a two-speed transfer case with 2WD Hi, 4WD Auto, 4WD Hi and 4WD Low modes.
GM says it has no plans at this stage to expand its warranty offering or introduce capped-price servicing.
The GMC Yukon has yet to be tested by ANCAP.

GMSV will offer a range of 25 accessories, including puddle lights and illuminated badges.

Legend Mark Skaife's bold call out to recruit Daniel Ricciardo
Racing legend Mark Skaife is imploring General Motors to make a big splash as it searches for drivers for the 2026 Supercars campaign. GM was blindsided earlier this year when the wildly successful Triple Eight racing outfit announced it would end their 15-year association and switch to Ford next season. Kayo Sports is the home of Supercars | Watch every race of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship LIVE & ad-break free during racing. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. Under the banner Red Bull Ampol Racing, Triple Eight drivers Broc Feeney and Will Brown are currently first and second in the Supercars standings respectively and both are under contract with Triple Eight for 2026. Skaife won five Supercars championships and represented Triple Eight towards the end of his glittering career. The 56-year-old told Speedcafe that GM should be targeting a big name to rebound from the shock Triple Eight split and that includes picking up the phone to Daniel Ricciardo. 'If I was running a race team, I would constantly be looking for the very best operators. You would be delinquent if you weren't,' he said. 'And they don't come along that often. You think about a Jamie Whincup or a Craig Lowndes, they are pretty few and far between in terms of absolute superstars. 'I think overall, the policy around having superstar drivers, I can't emphasise enough how essential it is. It's just fact. 'Where would Red Bull be without (Max) Verstappen? They'd be nowhere. To me, GM finding a, or maybe a couple, of real stars is essential. 'I thought when I read about (GM) trying to get Cam Waters, that made a lot of sense to me. 'But I'd be looking at some other scenarios. I'd be picking the phone up to someone like a Dan Ricciardo or a (Porsche Penske driver) Matt Campbell. 'I'd be looking outside our current sphere to try and procure an absolute superstar.' Apart from some vague links with the new Cadillac team that will join the F1 ranks next season, Ricciardo has been barely sighted since his final race with the VCARB team at last year's Singapore Grand Prix. The 35-year-old has given every indication he's finished as a driver, although he has expressed an interest in the past in attacking the Bathurst 1000. If GM was able to attract Ricciardo to the team, still comfortably among the biggest names in Australian motorsport, it would be one heck of a coup. Skaife's bold suggestion comes after Ricciardo's former teammate Verstappen's wild move in Spain last weekend was widely condemned. While fellow Aussie Oscar Piastri saluted for the fifth time this season after winning the Spanish Grand Prix, edging out his teammate Lando Norris to secure a one-two finish, Verstappen lost his mind in the closing stages. After closing to third place, Verstappen was left seething at his own team after having a set of hard tyres put on after a safety car. He was instantly caught out by Charles Leclerc before later being advised by his team to hand a position back to George Russell. That directive didn't sit well with the four-time world champion who slowed down, allowing Russell to pass before he jumped back on the accelerator and rammed into the Mercedes driver. It was a spectacular blunder by his team, with FIA stewards confirming after the race they would not have penalised Verstappen if he had held his position. F1 commentators around the globe were unanimous in criticising Verstappen for the vicious move. Former world champion Nico Rosberg said on Sky Sports the Dutch driver should have been black-flagged and disqualified. 'It looked like a very intentional retaliation,' Rosberg said. 'Wait for the opponent, go ramming into him, just like you felt the other guy rammed into you at Turn 1.' The F1 season is taking a break this weekend before the Canadian Grand Prix starts at 4am AEST on June 16.

Daniel Ricciardo: Supercars legend Mark Skaife says General Motors should sign F1 star for 2026 season
Supercars legend Mark Skaife has argued that the General Motors team should go all-in on signing Daniel Ricciardo for the 2026 season. Ricciardo's future in motorsport remains unclear after he was unceremoniously sacked by Red Bull in the latter stages of the F1 season last year. His exit was followed by the rise of fellow Australian driver Oscar Piastri, who is on track to become the first Australian to win an F1 title in 45 years, and the demotion of Jack Doohan, who lost his seat with Alpine just six races into the 2025 season. Skaife says GM needs a big-name star after its Triple Eight team defected to Ford for 2026. GM will field Team 18 in place of Triple Eight, which won last year's Drivers' Championship with Will Brown, as well as the Teams' Championship. 'If I was running a race team, I would constantly be looking for the very best operators. You would be delinquent if you weren't,' Skaife told motorsport website speedcafe. 'And they don't come along that often. You think about a Jamie Whincup or a Craig Lowndes — they are pretty few and far between in terms of absolute superstars. 'I think overall, the policy around having superstar drivers — I can't emphasise enough how essential it is. It's just fact.' Ricciardo has previously said he would love to race in the Bathurst 1000, and former Supercars chief Shane Howard said last October it would be a 'massive coup' to sign Ricciardo to Australia's premier motorsport competition. 'Where would Red Bull be without (Max) Verstappen? They'd be nowhere. To me, GM finding one — or maybe a couple — of real stars is essential,' Skaife said. 'I thought when I read about GM trying to get Cam Waters, that made a lot of sense to me. 'But I'd be looking at some other scenarios. I'd be picking the phone up to someone like Dan Ricciardo or Matt Campbell. 'I'd be looking outside our current sphere to try and procure an absolute superstar.' Ricciardo has kept a low profile since his F1 exit, but when his likeness appeared in advertising for next year's series, speculation grew that he could still race again in F1 — possibly with the new team, Cadillac. Soft drink giant PepsiCo launched a major advertising campaign after announcing a multi-year deal with F1, and the silhouette of a driver promoting the deal looks strikingly like Perth's favourite son. Cadillac bosses have stated their intention to pursue an experienced driver in a global search to partner a younger, less seasoned American driver as their two-seat combination for 2026. The 35-year-old Ricciardo fits the experienced driver profile perfectly, but the F1 driver market is such that many top-tier drivers are also currently without seats.

‘Essential': Racing icon says Ricciardo a must for 2026
