The 2025 GMC Yukon Denali has officially made its way to Australian shores, with the high-end SUV now available in dealerships across the country. This premium large SUV comes with a hefty price tag of $174,990 for the Denali variant, boasting a towing capacity of 3628kg, the highest among SUVs in the Australian market. The Yukon Denali is powered by a robust 6.2-litre V8 petrol engine generating 313kW and 642Nm, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. It features a spacious eight-seater interior with a 16.8-inch infotainment screen offering 13 camera views for enhanced visibility.
The arrival of the Yukon Denali introduces a unique offering to the Australian market, albeit at a premium price point. While it is well-equipped and boasts impressive towing capabilities, the cost may deter some potential buyers, especially when compared to other popular models like the Nissan Patrol.
Confirming its towing prowess, the braked towing capacity of the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali has been verified at 3628kg, surpassing its SUV competitors like the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series, Nissan Patrol, Ford Everest, and Isuzu MU-X, which all have a towing capacity of 3500kg.
The localization process for the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali is in full swing, with the first right-hand drive model successfully completing its conversion at GMSV’s Victorian facility. This marks a significant milestone in bringing the Yukon Denali to Australian consumers.
With order books now open, potential buyers should be prepared for a substantial investment, as the Yukon Denali comes with a price tag of $169,990 (excluding on-road costs). The SUV will be available in a single variant and trim level, featuring a V8 powertrain and luxurious amenities.
GMSV has disclosed that the 2025 GMC Yukon is set to hit the Australian market in the second quarter of 2025. While specific pricing details are yet to be revealed, the premium nature of the vehicle, coupled with local remanufacturing by Walkinshaw, suggests a premium price point above $140,000.
Earlier announcements from GMC confirmed the impending arrival of the Yukon SUV in Australia, marking the brand’s expansion beyond its North American stronghold. The Yukon has been a best-seller in North America, capturing a significant market share and now aiming to replicate that success in Australia.
Local testing and preparation for the 2025 GMC Yukon Denali are well underway, with the first right-hand drive models undergoing testing ahead of their official release in 2025. These initial glimpses showcase a refreshed design for the large SUV, signaling its imminent entry into the Australian automotive landscape.
