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.
One of the best things about Joe's car reviews is how he goes over all of the design in detail, quite unlike most other car reviewers. As an artist, I really appreciate it. Another great thing about Joe is he's always trying to get Lori to laugh. Good work and keep it up.
@@mr.ichbins8107 My husband bought the 2024 Sierra 3500 Denali. The screen seems like the same one is his truck. It's actually a lot nicer than the 2024 Yukon's I've been looking at the last few days.
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!
@@RaitisRidesWaiting for this review as well. Also would be nice to know if they’ll offer a true Blackout package to delete all the chrome including the trim like all the other Elevation trim vehicles.
Choosing between the Cadillac Escalade and the Denali Yukon can be challenging as both have unique qualities. The Yukon offers a modern look with distinctive styling and enhanced luxury, especially in the Denali trim.
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!
Absolutely beautiful SUV and loaded with tech and super nice interior, the IR/Night Vision could help to keep you from hitting a deer on the road at night. Excellent review and camera work !
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 😊
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.
A wonderful look and as always, an exceptional review Joe! I love the product; GM has done it right. It is sharp looking (minus the fake front vents) and the "portrait" display is killer. The lack of rear ventilated seats for the price is disappointing. Come on GM, KIA does it.
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.
Excellent review, thank you so much! Yes this does make my short list for a new vehicle next year! I am really excited about it. Love the upgraded screen size from the 2024, interior is beautiful. Upgrading from a smaller SUV to something larger. Thank you again!
Sir, I am a huge fan of your videos. In fact, you’re always my go-to guy for car reviews. However; today, I come to ask about your skincare routine. Your skin is exquisite, I hadn’t really noticed until today. It is glowing, no texture, all smooth, nicely hydrated, and great tone too. It radiates! Please share the secrets. Raiti’s Rides Radiates!
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 .
Ain't gonna lie this a absolute upgraded gmc awesome truck 😊 I'm very impressed with the size of the screen yes 16" wow... After I buy my second box truck then I would grab something like that
VERY nice. I had a 2021 Hellcat Durango, but 1 month ago, I was rear-ended by a truck doing 55 mph. My baby was totaled. I was looking at the 2024 Denali, but I really miss the sound and power of the Hellcat Durango, so I ordered the 2025 Hellcat Durango Silver Bullet. But now, after seeing the 2025 Denali and plus they have the upgraded version of the one you're reviewing, got me 2nd guessing, lol.
I snagged up the 2024 because I am a fan of more tactile buttons and less screen centric. Tried an Atlas with nearly everything on the screen and did not like that. Love the outside look of this refresh though!
2025 pricing has actually been released. The Yukon Denali ultimate starts at about $103k. The ultimate reserve package is about $11k. Not sure if that includes the 24” wheels. The Yukon in this video is likely $115k+.
When the 2021+ platform was introduced, the only one I liked was the Tahoe. The styling of the other two just didn't work for me. With the 2025 refresh, I'm starting to warm up to the Yukon and Escalade. Enough to switch out of my much loved 2016 Yukon Denali? Dunno. Those wheels are gorgeous, and would look even better with a machined lip to contrast the black. I'd probably order it in the Crystal Red, I've owned three Summit White Yukons, its about time for a change.
Question: will the Duramax logo name be displayed on upper fender on the Ultimate trim ? , just like it is on my 2023 model ultimate . FYI at this time , new orders for 2025 ultimate with Duramax engine not available to order….
We drive a Denali Yukon now; I just can't get over the vertical screen on the update. Was also disappointed to hear that the diesel option would be later in 2025. Don't know if we can wait that long so very disappointed in both of those things.
Why would you spend that kind of money and return it just because of the seats? Did you not take it for a thorough test drive?? I will say the only upside to this is you dodge a potential issue with the lifters and this is coming from a guy who has a 2022 Denali.
As headlights nowadays can move and dance like in the Escalades, if you have any influence on how the GMC next cars should behave or what to add in future, please suggest GMC to add the ability to shift the headlights automaticly by... I don't know... pressing one button to shift the led headlights to become asimmetric (for Europe requirements). Firstly, it would be something that nobody invented earlier and secondly, it could increase your export to Europe countries and should let them reach more clients and make more money? Just a thought, but maybe something worth consideration? I'm form Poland and I love AmCars, but recently it's a big problem to drive these modern vehicles in Europe due to led headlights that are hard to adapt to Europe regulations...
@@RaitisRides😊 So... You've got my permission to make your own money for selling them my idea - as yours 😎 Win-win situation 😁 Hope to see a proper response by GM soon...
GM was hoping you’d compare this to a Lincoln Navigator. Instead, you have them poaching other GM brands for sales. That’s what happens when you make three identical vehicles- the Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade.
Joe this is obviously your busiest time of the year with all the new models coming out. How many miles do you think that you travel annually going to all the auto shows and reveals??
Real toss-up between this and the Cadi, that tablet in the center isn't as elegant as the Escalade elongated display. Damn nice ride, and time for mama to get a new set of wheels, will check out the 2025. Great review Raiti!
I have a '21 AT4. While I like some of the styling updates for the '25, there seems to be some impracticality. 24" rims might look great on a Southern 2WD Yukon, but that's going to be like running on bald tires in the snow/ice for people up north even with 4WD. And because of the rim size, good luck finding any decent AT tires. Also, while the tablet is simply adopting the Tesla/RAM approach, I do wonder how practical it is VS even the 17" Tahoe display that's tilted towards the driver. I'll hold judgement until I see it in person I guess, but I think I prefer the Chevy approach. Elephant in the room is the escalating cost of these vehicles. Funny how people talk about $100k Yukons or $160k Escalades like that's a normal, average new car price that everyone with a job can afford. Wonder when the market for these price themselves out.
Raiti - With this one likely approaching $100K, do you think the Escalade Sport or Premium are a better deal given they're about the same price as these fully loaded 2025 Denali's? You never really gave your opinion in the video. Thanks!
“ to the door panels” - i love that line! Never gets old! Awesome! Keep it up please
I bought the 24 Yukon Denali Ultimate not knowing the 25 was going to be a refresh. These new ones are even prettier.
You still have a keeper
Got that right ✅️. It's on my preffered list in the New Year 🎉🎉
No need to regret. Powertrain are the same. You can also buy a 70' TV at Costco for less than $500. Beats MY25 Escalade anyway.
I didn’t think anyone would be dumb enough to buy the denial ultimate I guess i was wrong😂😂😅
The dealership was definitely not about to tell you that 25 was coming out fairly soon. They wanted to make a sale!! Lol
This is a full size SUV I would actually consider....if I could afford it.
Maybe one day!
You Will Afford It One Day
come on cheapskate everyone has atleast 100k to throw away lol

It’s like a Yukon Denali RST with the styling. Just gorgeous.
They nailed this one all day long!
Damn, this refresh looks a lot better. I love the way they redid the infotainment center.
They really nailed it Mike
That screen is so oversized it looks ridiculous. I hope car manufacturers don't start doing this. The glare at night would be distracting as well.
@@mr.ichbins8107 My husband bought the 2024 Sierra 3500 Denali. The screen seems like the same one is his truck. It's actually a lot nicer than the 2024 Yukon's I've been looking at the last few days.
raiti you're becoming my favorite car reviewer, great information and for things like @7:30 lmao
That really means so much! Thank you for letting me share the laughs and the SUVs with you!
I always wait for your car reviews, they're so fun to watch!!!
Thank you so much for your awesome support!
When will the test drive video be released?
I love it. I have been looking at the 2024 Denali XL the last few days. You changed my mind! I am going to order the 2025. Thank You!!!!!
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
I am right there with you!
100k for a truck, the price of everything that has changed radically in 3 to 5 years is incredible.
Bidenflation!

Im glad they kept it sensible and didn't go full "Tesla screen" on the center panel. Very well done, I'd buy this over the '25 Escalade for sure.
Your storage food references have always gotten better! Great 👍 to hear, Keep it up!
Hope your going to show us the Elevation trim next, hopefully a little more affordable
Of definitely! Stay tuned
@@RaitisRidesWaiting for this review as well. Also would be nice to know if they’ll offer a true Blackout package to delete all the chrome including the trim like all the other Elevation trim vehicles.

SHARPEST OF ALL
I like what you did there Chris!
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!
I know how you feel!
I rather this than Escalade. I like this & Lincoln Navigator. If I got this I opt Diesel powered engine
I'm currently debating between the Escalade the the Qx80
Absolutely beautiful SUV and loaded with tech and super nice interior, the IR/Night Vision could help to keep you from hitting a deer on the road at night. Excellent review and camera work !
We appreciate your great points and kind words.
Those styling cues are subtle but make a huge difference.
You are spot on the money
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 😊
Thank you my friend! We are working hard but definitely are
GMC is the luxurious Chevy .
Then comes the big daddy ..
Cadillac is Cadillac 😎😎
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.

Joe how do you like this tablet style touchscreen vs the new wider one in the Tahoe/Suburban?
I prefer this screen
Hey Joe, fellow Floridian here, hope you and your family and friends and homes in Clearwater are doing okay after the recent hurricane 🙏
Thanks for taking the time to say that! We are same and sound.
I wish they would have kept the center screen horizontal.
Definitely waiting for the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate after your recent review of it. Definitely the best luxury SUV! Thanks Joe and team.
I feel the same way
Looks great. I think the 2025 Denali looks better then the Ultimate.
Thanks for your vote
Professional Grade GMC

This looks nice in white with those red calipers.

Love your reviews as always Joe, but next time perhaps pop the hood so we could see what kind of power we got under there
Very nice!!! But maybe I missed it.....where's the shifter? Are they still the push/pull toggles?
Joe is a real one for Zonkin the fake air vents at the GMC Event! That's transparent and honest review friends ! Never compromise.
get the Duramax and you get real air vents

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.😊😊😊
I think you are so very right
This Yukon Denali is fresh.

Joe nice review as always. This just made it hard to keep my x5 M60I
It is very challenging for sure
I had a new 2023 Denali and got rid of it because the seats were HORRIBLE!! Loved everything else. Seats were OK for 10 minutes or so…
Why would you spend that kind of money and return it just because of the seats? Did you not take it for a thorough test drive?? I will say the only upside to this is you dodge a potential issue with the lifters and this is coming from a guy who has a 2022 Denali.
The new Yukon has better seats!
Everyone I guess have those things that are important to them
The modern cars with the latest technology are really beautiful and nice
I am so glad that you are loving them.
Nice. Awaiting the drive test to see the ride quality with the 24 inchers.
Tire replacement is going to be $$$$$$
When are they hitting lots? I want to go haggle one down to 7% below invoice!!!
Not until the end of the year
Good luck. This isn’t a truck. Maybe on the outgoing 2024’s.
Did the bring back the adjustable pedals? I see they changed the shifter again as well.
That is a great question!
Hey Joe, I like your sneackers. Which model are them?
I always had 24 wheels years ago on my Chevy trucks lol it’s a Texas thing 🤘🏽
You are so very right about that!
As headlights nowadays can move and dance like in the Escalades, if you have any influence on how the GMC next cars should behave or what to add in future, please suggest GMC to add the ability to shift the headlights automaticly by... I don't know... pressing one button to shift the led headlights to become asimmetric (for Europe requirements). Firstly, it would be something that nobody invented earlier and secondly, it could increase your export to Europe countries and should let them reach more clients and make more money?
Just a thought, but maybe something worth consideration? I'm form Poland and I love AmCars, but recently it's a big problem to drive these modern vehicles in Europe due to led headlights that are hard to adapt to Europe regulations...
