Between this, the Tahoe, and Escalade… which would you choose between the GM triplets? This segment is really heating up for 2025 as we are expecting a revised version of the Armada and Expedition to be revealed next month as well!
Loving all 3 and also the Lincoln navigator and looking forward to the Expedition but it would've been nice if GM would've put ambient lighting in the new yukons and Tahoe/Suburbans like they put in the new Acadias. Seems odd but will still buy a Yukon Suburban Escalade or Expedition or Navigator
I am blown away!! GMC knocked the 2025 Yukon’s Mid Cycle Enhancement out of the park seriously! The exterior updates have brought this thing right in line with the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover. The new Denali Ultimate is a show stopper, the wheels are jaw dropping and completed the side profile nicely. They cleaned up the rear even more and the stance screams executive luxury barge. I’m impressed by Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillacs attention to detail and the focus they’ve had on further differentiating the Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade. GMC has done a better job of being original while competing with Cadillac than brands like Lincoln, Genesis, and Infiniti whose interiors are visibly adopting Cadillac interior styling. This 2025 Yukon is impressive on so many levels. GMC will make the decision to Tahoe or Escalade a hard one with this refresh!
The issue is now I’m starting to wonder what the point of GMC even is. This is really close to, if not more than Escalade money and doesn’t carry the same cachet. So like why not go for the Escalade if you’re spending this much or just stick with the Tahoe if you don’t need crazy fanciness?
@@G-Rated I mean they’re literally the same car. GM killed off older brands like Pontiac and Saturn because they all made variations of the same car. Chevy is mainstream and borderline luxury being 80k on trims. Cadillac is the luxury. So what is GMC then exactly? That’s the thing I don’t get with badge engineering
@@KNRS927 Soyfan literally answered this question in the first 15 seconds of the video. People have their own opinions and perceptions of *gm* but they’re a *premium* automaker before anything else. Chevrolet also builds premium vehicles and that’s because there’s a demand for it from Chevrolet customers. The GMC is _also_ luxury. It is another option to the Chevrolet brand for the people who want a more luxurious experience. Nobody questions why Hyundai has Kia and Genesis, despite the fact they adopted their twin strategy after *gm’s* own when they targeted the N. American market. Nobody questions why VW has Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini and Bentley.
I can always rely on Redline to give a thorough review that is not long-winded and remain professional and just be easy to watch. Appreciate your hard work, Sofyan! I have a 2021 Yukon Denali and will be ordering one of these 2025's soon.
I watched tfl’s video of these vehicles yesterday and it was not good. I love tfl, but it didn’t seem like they did their homework like this gentleman did.
Great review as always, Sofyan. And a special shout out to the cameraman Rob. You are theeee best. I especially like how you seamlessly stepped off of the platform during the closing remarks. Best duo in auto journalism!
Sofyan, you're probably my favorite car reviewer, but "obviously" I'm disappointed in the overuse of the word "obviously" within this video, otherwise, very factual and beneficial review as always! Thanks Brian
The Tahoe Z71 or RST in a duramax might still be the best value for money as it offers, nice interiors with almost catering to 100% of daily drive needs providing some good offroad features (even though only less than 1% of owners who buy these will be using it for that) with a great performance (the Duramax is quiet a torquey engine) with almost amazing towing capabilities. And all these can be bought almost 20 to 30k cheaper than the GMC if you are looking to save some.
I dont get the obsession with massive screens controlling everything. Does anyone on GM’s board of directors actually drive? Clearly not, bc if they did, they’d know physical buttons and knobs are infinitely easier and thus safer to use while in motion.
I don’t understand y’all pretending like *gm* is doing something wrong meanwhile every other manufacturer (Lincoln, Infiniti, Kia, Hyundai, Genesis, BMW, etc.) are all copying *gm’s* interior design philosophy when it come to the wide single lane curved displays. Y’all are always wanting *gm* executives to feel like they’re out of the loop when they’re the ones setting the trends.
@@carguyeyedocYou mean the $100,000 Yukon that people are buying and love?? You’re the only one complaining about the price of something you would never buy even if you had the money to purchase it.
This was always my opinion too. Why does Chevy essentially have 3 brands that technically offer the same thing. My thought is that Cadillac is its own luxury brand, the vehicles are vastly different both inside and out while GMC is the “Acura” Version to Chevy the same why Acura is the luxury brand to Honda. That cars look the same but they call it their “luxury” brand.
I’m glad all 3 are different layouts so people can pick based on whether they like simple layout more fancy layout or insane layout. The gmc is my favorite
I rather the way the Denali Ultimate looks over the Escalade and now that it has the same features, it’s perfect for me! Thanks for listening to your customers GMC!
@@ElGuapo61947 The naming convention isn't by displacement size. C6 Z06's LS7 engine that is 7.0L is also called a small block by GM. It's engine design and architecture, not displacement size.
I hope for that kind of money, there's the option to delete rear seat entertainment screens. The (now old) LC200 had those as standard, and no easy work around to remove them.
Really bet this vehicle GMC Yukon is what Escalade is praying for, the styling and updated tech is insanity to know how awesome the refreshed Yukon really is. But for $60K-$70K is too much to consider. But overall a great styling.🙌🏻🙌🏻💯
Can you get the AT4 Ultimate trim with a 2nd-row bench seat? I don't get why they force captains chairs on certain trims. Shouldn't they offer both as different people have different needs on how many seats they need.
With the executive package and those 1st row captain's chairs also in the second row, can the second row seats still fold down flat, and flip up for that greater access to the 3rd row? And if not fully flat, then how flat? Or is some or all of that capability limited perhaps given the thicker nature of those seats? I wish someone would demonstrate that. But another thorough review. Thanks.
Is that screen infotainment included in all Yukon trims? I am liking the smaller screen of the Tahoe at this point. There is nothing elegant about a screen that large in a vehicle. All it takes is a good hit of the brakes and your yeti flings toward the screen.
Listen, if you can afford to wait, wait. This economy is about to tumble. One look at the numbers will show you we're in a silent recession. A reset is happening.
You are so barking up the wrong tree. Middle class folks are in a recession, the rich are doing just fine especially with republican tax cuts still in play.
Another random dude pretending to be an economist or having some expertise in economics. A "recession" is defined as a reduction in the GDP for two successive quarters. The economy is, and has been, growing at a rate of 3%+ for the last three years. It is not contracting. If what you mean by "silent recession" is that people inaccurately and mistakenly feel that the economy is worse than it is, then ok, but that has been the case for some time and it hasn't caused an ACTUAL recession. The economy keeps outperforming all of the prognostications.
@@trumpisastump9382and yet everyone is feeling the bite of inflation. Worse now than before. I seem to recall the definition of recession was conveniently altered when we had 2 negative quarters. In late 2021. GDP may be positive but real growth is in the dumps
@@Zajac587 you are continuing to push a false narrative, and I suppose you have that right. But are you really here to find the definition of recession or are you just looking for a place to list talking points? You still have misplaced anger for the inflation you’re feeling.
I like the brown leather seats of the new 2025 Yukon Denali Ultimate, much more than the prior umber brown. Still wish they offered black leather, but this is an improvement. The prior brown looked utilitarian or western, but this greyish brown looks more upscale and luxury. I like it. One thing, the new seats of the 2025 Yukon Denali Ultimate and AT4 Ultimate, do they have more padding and bolstering than the prior years, making them more comfortable, or is it only the surface leather that is apparently different? And is that the case with both? I ask that because in this video the Denali Ultimate seats do look to have thicker padding and bolstering, unless I'm imagining that, but it doesn't look like the AT4 Ultimate's are. The prior models were less comfortable on long distances, and I heard rumors this would be addressed in 2025. Oh, and I love the new leather seat color of the Yukon AT4 Ultimate, looks black with a bit of red striping of sorts. I did not like that old light black with the brown or tan swatches, too utilitarian as well.
Why can’t they make an AT4X version. GM seems to do a lot of things half-ass. 4 cylinder in Canyon/Colorado, 1500 ZR2/AT4X with normal width, leaf spring rear, and 33s not 35s. HD is close, but only with AEV package and missing front locker. Need a 6.6L Duramax suburban too.
The old Denali interior dashboard looked sooooo much better. The screen looks tacked on and not made for the truck and the speedometer bezel is laughable
This is just a rushed refresh so they can hold out for a couple more years until their all new v8 engine is ready then they will drop a entire new Yukon that’s gonna be the best one ever.
If I had that kind of money I would go for the Escalade, however, I have very well healed friends who went for the Denali instead of the Escalade after a GLS🤷🏻♂️ That being said, I think it looks bad ass, and I’ve always thought that it was kind of bland
Why did they change the button shifters to the column shifter? Mechanical problems? And what’s going to happen to the 2020-2024 vehicles that have button shifters 8-10 years down the line, will mechanics know how to repair them? or is it the same to repair as the column shifter?
There’s no problems with the button shifters. You know how much planes rely on buttons? It’s totally fine and likely to last just as long as a manual shifter before it breaks. Also this is still electronic shifter it’s just on the column now.
And yes mechanics will know how to repair them it’s literally just a piece with a wiring harness and a connector on it. Just as easy to fix maybe easier to fix than a manual mechanism. Yes manual shifters can fail to I had mine snap off inside the collum and had to pull the entire steering wheel off to fix the mechanism inside
Well they didn’t fix the most blaring flaw of the Denali Ultimate & that is ALL the chrome should be Vader chrome because it looks absolutely silly that the front trim doesn’t match the rest.
What do you mean “match” the rest? It’s all still chrome. The Vader chrome is an accent but not needed everywhere just mainly the grille. It pairs well with the regular chrome badges which is synonymous with the Denali brand.
WHY ? dont dealers or GM let people design there own lease and monthly payments 😮, More people would be able to enjoy this Magnificent vehicle 😂, over $1,000 + dollars a month is too much 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Get the base 2025 Escalade, cheaper than the Denali and still has a lot of good stuff in it. However, the best value is the base 2025 Tahoe, all trims come with the big 17 in screens......
Brother had one of these but not the at4. Didn't make it a year. Electric shocks went out, air bag suspension quit working then the engine threw a rod and killed itself.
They are really creeping on Escalades territory which starts to make it irrelevant. The Escalade should be pushed further upmarket to differentiate from the Yukon Denali
2025 Escalades are getting that humongous screen that goes across the entire dash. But yeah, otherwise a Denali is almost as nice. To be honest, I like the Denali screen because it's less distracting.
Y’all will say anything. Nothing touches the Cadillac Escalade, not even this. Yes this blows the Lincoln Navigator, Infiniti QX80, and Lexus LX600 out of the water but it’s not better than a Escalade.
@@KevLEXodus who cares? Most people will buy the GMC Yukon or Cadillac Escalade because they know better and have driven them all already. That’s why the GMC brand has a ATP that’s as high as it is.

I completely agree! I wish it was all one or the other, not mixed.
WHY ? dont dealers or GM let people design there own lease and monthly payments 😮, More people would be able to enjoy this Magnificent vehicle 😂, over $1,000 + dollars a month is too much 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Has GM fixed the issues with the 5.3 and6.2? 😢
Get the base 2025 Escalade, cheaper than the Denali and still has a lot of good stuff in it. However, the best value is the base 2025 Tahoe, all trims come with the big 17 in screens......
Imo, theyve ruined the front end. The current styling looks better and more balanced
I agree! I’m holding on to my 22 Denali
Don’t worry about it. Just get the next redesign after this one.
Brother had one of these but not the at4. Didn't make it a year. Electric shocks went out, air bag suspension quit working then the engine threw a rod and killed itself.
Why haven’t you showed us the at4 interior?
Google/Android based, NICE!
They are really creeping on Escalades territory which starts to make it irrelevant. The Escalade should be pushed further upmarket to differentiate from the Yukon Denali
2025 Escalades are getting that humongous screen that goes across the entire dash. But yeah, otherwise a Denali is almost as nice. To be honest, I like the Denali screen because it's less distracting.
Y’all will say anything. Nothing touches the Cadillac Escalade, not even this. Yes this blows the Lincoln Navigator, Infiniti QX80, and Lexus LX600 out of the water but it’s not better than a Escalade.
@@G-RatedThere is not a single model you listed that I *wouldn't* get over this *OR* the Escalade.
@@KevLEXodus who cares? Most people will buy the GMC Yukon or Cadillac Escalade because they know better and have driven them all already. That’s why the GMC brand has a ATP that’s as high as it is.
@@G-RatedI don’t want a Escalade I like the Yukon layout better even if it costed the same I would get the gmc instead. I’m not here to impress people and look rich just cause I got a caddilac I’d rather buy what I want
Denali Yukon being sold in Australia for the first time…$150,000
Please record a video of the K5 GT Line and K5 Gt!!!!!!
