The well-appointed 2025 GMC Yukon XL is a fun ride, whether you’re driving through the suburbs or tackling the trail. Read on for four reasons we see drivers leaving the lot with this powerhouse.

1. Because They Love Its Strong Powertrains

Drivers can select their favorite of three powertrain options. The standard offering is a fantastic 5.3-liter V8 engine that delivers up to 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque. Features like the smooth 10-speed automatic transmission and premium smooth ride suspension make this a fun ride. For a boost up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, drivers can choose the available 6.2-liter V8 engine.

Alternatively, the Yukon XL can be made into a torque-rich SUV with the 3.0-liter Duramax turbo diesel engine. This strong powertrain offers up to 305 horsepower and 495 lb.-ft. of torque.

2. So They Can Head Into the Wilderness

Off-roading enthusiasts choose the Yukon XL for the AT4 or AT4 Ultimate trims. The off-road-ready AT4 adds all-terrain tires with 20-inch machined aluminum wheels. The high approach angle and front skid plate offer peace of mind as you head into the unknown. You’ll also have recovery hooks. The magnetic ride control suspension is perfect for tackling bumpy paths.

With the AT4 Ultimate trim, you’ll have the features of the AT4 as well as more luxurious touches, like the 16-way seat adjuster for the power-heated and ventilated front seats. Full-grain leather seating surfaces elevate the cabin’s aesthetic. You’ll also have an incredible 18-speaker Bose sound system for rocking out on your next road trip.

3. They Want To Experience Hands-Free Driving

Super Cruise is available for the Yukon XL this year. You can add a three-year subscription for the hands-free driving assistance technology as well as digital services provided by OnStar.

4. Because Safety Assistance Tech Offers Peace of Mind

GMC loaded the Yukon XL up with plenty of exciting driver assistance technology this year. A few highlights include forward collision alert, adaptive cruise control, and traffic sign recognition. You’ll also have lane keep assist with lane departure warning as well as blind zone steering assist, helping you avoid side collisions.

Enhanced automatic parking assist makes arriving and departing much easier. Activating this feature allows the technology to detect a parallel or perpendicular space and then shift, steer, and brake as necessary to safely move the vehicle into the space. It can also unpark the vehicle when you’re ready to leave.

Take the Yukon XL out on the road to experience its comfortable air ride suspension system and luxurious cabin features for yourself. Contact Kyle Edwards GMC in Muskogee, OK to schedule a test drive of this family-friendly SUV.
