For discerning drivers in Florence, South Carolina, King Buick GMC presents the definitive collection of these exceptional vehicles.

The 2025 GMC Terrain: Redefining the Compact Class
For the driver who demands efficiency for the daily commute but refuses to sacrifice style or substance, the all-new 2025 GMC Terrain emerges as a leader. Completely redesigned, the Terrain presents a bold, truck-inspired exterior that exudes confidence. This is not merely a cosmetic update; it’s a top-to-bottom reimagining of what a compact SUV can be. Its 1.5L turbocharged engine provides spirited and efficient performance, making it an ideal companion for navigating Florence’s thoroughfares or embarking on a weekend getaway to the coast. Inside, occupants are treated to a cabin that rivals premium brands, centered around a stunning new 15-inch portrait-style infotainment screen. This technological centerpiece, combined with a suite of over 15 standard safety features, makes the Terrain a mobile sanctuary—perfect for small families, professionals, and anyone who believes efficiency and luxury should coexist.
The 2025 GMC Acadia: The Mid-Size Family Flagship
The 2025 GMC Acadia has undergone a monumental transformation, growing in stature to reset expectations for the three-row, mid-size segment. This new, larger Acadia is engineered for the growing family that requires significant space but still values maneuverability. It now offers spacious seating for up to eight, with a cabin that prioritizes comfort and utility on long journeys. The powertrain is a potent 2.5L turbocharged engine, producing a formidable 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque, enabling it to tow up to 5,000 pounds with ease. This capability transforms the Acadia from a simple people-mover into a genuine adventure vehicle, ready to pull a small boat or a camper for a family road trip. With available Super Cruise hands-free driving technology and a massive 15-inch diagonal screen, the Acadia is the sophisticated, powerful, and intelligent choice for the modern family on the move.
The 2025 GMC Yukon: The Icon of Full-Size Capability
When the mission demands uncompromising space, power, and presence, the 2025 GMC Yukon answers the call. A true body-on-frame icon, the Yukon is the standard-bearer for the full-size SUV segment. Its refreshed 2025 styling includes a new front fascia and lighting, reinforcing its commanding road presence. The Yukon’s true benefit lies in its sheer capability, offering a choice of powerful V8 engines or the remarkably torquey 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel. This power, managed by a sophisticated 10-speed automatic transmission, makes towing heavy loads feel effortless. Inside, the cabin is a fortress of quiet luxury, highlighted by a new, best-in-class 16.8-inch diagonal infotainment screen. For those seeking the absolute pinnacle of luxury, the Denali Ultimate trim envelops passengers in full-grain leather, exclusive wood trim, and a 22-speaker Bose audio system. The Yukon is the definitive vehicle for large families and long-haul travelers who refuse to compromise.
The 2025 GMC Yukon XL: The Definition of Maximum Space
For those whose needs exceed even the generous proportions of the Yukon, the 2025 GMC Yukon XL stands ready. The Yukon XL takes the proven formula of its sibling and extends the wheelbase to create an astounding level of interior volume. This is the vehicle for the family that truly needs to bring everything along, offering a cavernous 144.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. This unparalleled capacity means no suitcase, piece of sporting equipment, or essential item is ever left behind. The XL delivers the same potent engine choices and luxurious appointments as the standard Yukon, including the opulent Denali Ultimate and the ruggedly capable AT4. It is, quite simply, the most accommodating and capable road trip vehicle in the GMC arsenal, ensuring that even the longest journeys are undertaken in absolute comfort and with complete confidence.
The 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV: The Future of Adventure
At the apex of the lineup sits a vehicle that isn’t just an SUV, but a complete paradigm shift. The 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV is an all-electric supertruck, a revolutionary vehicle that combines mind-bending performance with off-road capabilities that seem to defy physics. With up to 830 horsepower and an astonishing 11,500 pound-feet of wheel torque, the Hummer EV SUV can accelerate with the ferocity of a sports car. Its true purpose, however, is found where the pavement ends. Features like CrabWalk allow the vehicle to move diagonally, while Extract Mode raises the adaptive air suspension for up to 16 inches of ground clearance. The transparent Sky Panels of the Infinity Roof remove to create an immersive open-air experience. This is the ultimate expression of freedom, offering silent, zero-emissions exploration of the most challenging terrain imaginable. It is the future of off-roading, available today.
