2025 Suburban and Tahoe

The 2025 Chevy Suburban and 2025 Chevy Tahoe continue Chevrolet’s legacy of versatile and powerful SUVs, each equipped with significant updates for 2025. With refreshed interiors, updated tech, and versatile powertrains, these two models offer unique benefits for drivers based on space, power, and ease of use. Here, we break down the main differences to help you choose the right model for your family.

Key 2025 Updates for Both Models

Both the Suburban and Tahoe received a mid-cycle refresh for 2025, featuring a modernized exterior and improved interior displays. A new 17.7-inch infotainment screen and 11-inch digital driver display come standard, creating an intuitive and spacious cockpit that enhances both usability and aesthetics. Super Cruise, GM’s hands-free driving technology, is now available for higher trims, bringing both models an advanced safety and convenience boost​.

Size and Cargo Space

Suburban: The Suburban remains Chevrolet’s largest SUV at 225.7 inches long, designed for those requiring maximum cargo space and third-row comfort. This model provides up to 145 cubic feet of cargo space with seats folded down, making it an ideal choice for families with lots of gear.

Tahoe: At 210.7 inches, the Tahoe is shorter and more maneuverable than the Suburban. When the second and third rows are folded, it offers 123 cubic feet of cargo space, providing ample room for most families. While slightly smaller, the Tahoe still comfortably accommodates passengers and luggage, making it a versatile option for urban and suburban drivers alike​.

Engine and Performance

Both the Suburban and Tahoe offer three engine options for 2025:

  • 5.3L V8: Standard on most trims, this engine provides 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. It’s well-suited for general driving and light towing.
  • 6.2L V8: Available on higher trims, the 6.2L V8 delivers 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, making it ideal for drivers who need extra power for towing or want a more responsive drive.
  • 3.0L Duramax Diesel: This updated diesel engine now produces 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, offering improved fuel economy and torque for hauling and highway cruising. It’s especially appealing for long-distance drivers focused on fuel efficiency.

Both SUVs have a 10-speed automatic transmission and can tow up to 8,400 pounds when properly equipped. This capacity is more than sufficient for recreational vehicles or trailers, catering to families and adventure seekers alike.

Technology and Safety Features

The Infotainment 3 Premium system, now on a 17.7-inch display, offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, along with built-in Google navigation and Alexa integration for enhanced connectivity. This upgrade simplifies access to entertainment, navigation, and vehicle controls, especially useful on long trips. Additionally, the rear-seat entertainment system, with dual 12.6-inch screens, remains an option on both SUVs for added passenger enjoyment​.

2025 Suburban Technology

For safety, both the Tahoe and Suburban come standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Forward Collision Alert
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Additionally, Super Cruise is available on certain trims, offering hands-free driving on mapped highways across the U.S., including parts of Texas. This feature makes the 2025 models some of the most tech-forward SUVs in Chevrolet’s lineup.

Fuel Economy and Driving Dynamics

The 3.0L Duramax Diesel stands out for its fuel efficiency, providing up to an estimated 28 MPG on the highway with rear-wheel drive, which is slightly higher than the gasoline options. The 5.3L V8 gasoline engine offers around 20 MPG on the highway, and while the 6.2L V8 is more powerful, its MPG will be slightly lower, a trade-off for its performance-focused output​.

In terms of ride comfort, both the Suburban and Tahoe are equipped with advanced suspension options. These include Magnetic Ride Control and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension on higher trims, which adjust the suspension dynamically to optimize comfort over uneven roads or during off-road conditions. These features make each SUV stable on highways while providing flexibility for a smooth, adaptable ride across Texas landscapes.

Parking and Maneuverability

If you regularly navigate city streets or need easier parking, the Tahoe is a bit more manageable due to its shorter length. The Suburban, while larger, is equipped with advanced parking assists and multiple camera views, including an HD Surround Vision Camera to help drivers with challenging parking maneuvers. Both models feature responsive steering and visibility aids that assist drivers in navigating tight spaces, making these SUVs surprisingly nimble for their size.

If you prioritize maximum space and comfort for long trips or have a large family, the 2025 Chevy Suburban provides the room and versatility you need. Its expanded cargo space and added legroom in the third row make it a go-to option for those who frequently travel with groups or lots of gear.

For those who want a powerful yet city-friendly SUV, the 2025 Chevy Tahoe offers a spacious interior with easier maneuverability, making it a great choice for urban and suburban environments.
