GMC Middle East has unveiled the new GMC Yukon in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The new Yukon represents a bold new chapter in its legacy as the brand’s flagship full-size SUV, combining unparallelled performance, bold design, and advanced technology to meet the demands of today’s discerning drivers. It will arrive in markets early next year.
Inside, its updated design combines luxury and technology for a world-class experience for the driver and passengers. To help ensure a comfortable cabin environment for passengers, an 8-inch diagonal touchscreen for rear climate control has been added to select models. The luxurious Obsidian interior design includes three rows of full-grain leather seats and ash wood trim. In addition, it offers 16-way power-adjustable driver and passenger seats, along with a massage function for both.
On the outside, eye-catching design elements include unique grille patterns, tailgate badges, movable headlamps and taillamps, and an available panoramic roof for an open-air cabin experience. The exterior and interior design features a sliding front panel, 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tyres, and a power panoramic roof.
The lineup includes four distinct trim levels: Elevation, the adventure-ready AT4, the first-ever AT4 Ultimate, and the luxurious Denali. Each trim level perfectly blends the GMC Yukon’s premium nature with a focus on customer choice and preference.
Power is exclusively V8 in the Yukon, with customers able to choose between a base 5.3L engine with 355 horsepower or an available 6.2L V82 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Both are paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission with Drive Mode Select.
The first-ever AT4 Ultimate model combines refinement and functionality, transforming every outdoor adventure into a luxurious experience. It features the perfect blend of rugged off-road design, refined amenities, and powerful capabilities, making the Yukon AT4 Ultimate the first AT4 model to earn the Ultimate badge.
Technological advancements include GMC’s first Night Vision for improved early object detection and enhanced driver safety, dual 12.6-inch rear-seat entertainment screens, and a 14-speaker Bose surround system with CenterPoint. It also features a four-corner Air Ride Adaptive suspension system that raises the vehicle to 2 inches for improved ground clearance.
The new GMC Yukon has a three-year subscription to OnStar Services 4 – the premier enabler of GM vehicle safety, entertainment, and connectivity. With the download of the myGMC App4, drivers have complete control of the car through remote commands, vehicle location, and more, providing added convenience and peace of mind.
