The 2025 GMC Yukon remains one of today's most popular large SUVs with a body-on-frame design. Drivers love its spaciousness, versatile performance, and modern features. When shopping for a new Yukon, some customers will be choosing between the Yukon Elevation and the Yukon AT4. Let's take a look at how these two trim levels compare.

Performance

Both of these Yukon trims come standard with a potent 5.3-liter V8 engine. It's rated to pump out 355 horsepower. However, a stronger 6.2-liter V8 engine is on the AT4 trim's list of options. GMC rates it to develop 420 horsepower. All versions of the SUV use a 10-speed automatic transmission.

While the Yukon Elevation comes standard with a rear-wheel drive system, a 4WD system is on its list of options. Meanwhile, the more rugged AT4 trim has a standard 4WD system. Off-road goodies, such as a front skid plate and hill descent control, also aid the Yukon AT4's ability to tackle trails. An exclusive Magnetic Ride Control Suspension further sets apart the AT4 trim.

Appearance

The Yukon Elevation has a bold look. Its 20-inch machine-finished wheels make a serious statement. Black assist steps come standard. Signature LED headlamps with animated lighting add to the SUV's attractiveness. Some of the available exterior color options include Volcanic Red Tintcoat, Onyx Black, Summit White, and Titanium Rush Metallic.

When checking out the adventurous Yukon AT4's front fascia, you will immediately notice its unique bumper with a high approach angle and red recovery hooks. Exclusive 20-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires further distinguish the Yukon AT4.

Features

The Elevation trim packs more than enough features to satisfy most drivers. Its Google-based infotainment system features a massive 16.8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto capability. Creature comforts, such as tri-zone automatic climate control and heated power front seats, help promote a relaxing drive. GMC equips the Yukon Elevation with a 10-speaker Bose Surround audio system to keep music fans entertained. Other highlights include a fully digital gauge cluster, a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, an HD Surround Vision camera system, and a full suite of advanced safety technologies.

Leather seating surfaces are found inside the Yukon AT4. While ventilated front seats are optional on the Elevation trim, they are standard equipment.
