Officially at least, GMC isn’t sold in the Philippines. Still, one can see its SUVs on local roads thanks to the influx of gray market units. We wouldn’t call it a common sight, but you wouldn’t be too much of a surprise to spot one in posh parts of the Metro.
A few months ago, Chevrolet unveiled the refreshed Tahoe and Suburban for the 2025 model year. Now, it’s the turn of its posher siblings, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, to get a mid-cycle update.

It’s not the full reveal just yet. For now, all we have at the moment is photo showing a corner of the front end. Still, it’s enough for us to say that there will be major revisions there. The most obvious is the new headlight design, now sporting a more dynamic and intricate look compared to the boxy lenses on the current model.
With that, we can expect some changes to the grill and front bumper of the 2025 GMC Yukon. It’s worth pointing out that the Yukon is available in many variants, all with an individual look. That means the fascia of the entry and mid-spec models (SLE/SLT) will differ from the off-road oriented AT4 and the more luxurious Denali.
Interior updates and upgrades are also to be expected. There’s a good chance that more tech will be fitted as standard, along with new software for the infotainment system. Given that the Tahoe got a major overhaul inside, the Yukon could also come with an entirely redesigned dashboard.
Engine options are likely to be carried over from the General Motors truck and SUV lineup. If so, the base engine starts with a 5.3-liter V8 that makes 355hp and 520Nm. The optional engine for higher trim levels is a 6.2-liter V8 that puts out 420hp and 624Nm. A turbodiesel option might still be available for the 2025 model year, and that’s care of a 3.0-liter with 305hp and 671Nm.
