The 2025 Chevy Suburban remains a great choice when you need one SUV to tow, carry, and haul.
What kind of vehicle is the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban? What does it compare to?
The Suburban remains Chevy’s stalwart SUV, with three rows of seats for up to nine passengers and a vast amount of cargo. It’s offered in LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country spec.
Is the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban a good SUV?
Few drivers need this kind of space and towing capacity—but if you’re one of them, the Suburban’s a good choice. The 2024 edition earned a TCC Rating of 6.2 out of 10; we’ll update this score for 2025 once we’ve driven the new version. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
What's new for the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban?
The handsomely angled body hasn’t changed much, but Chevy has revamped the 2025 Suburban’s front and rear ends with new signature lighting. Across the differing trim levels the Suburban wears distinctive duds: High Country editions have wheels as large as 24 inches, while the rugged Z71 straps on knobby tires and skid plates to go with its increased ground clearance.
Inside, the Suburban grows more tech-savvy with a revamped dash, better finishes, and more pixels. An 11.0-inch driver information cluster teams with a 17.7-inch touchscreen for infotainment. They’re styled together like the user-friendly setups in smaller Chevy SUVs, from the Blazer EV and Equinox EV up to the three-row Traverse. At the same time the Suburban hasn’t lost any of its people-toting ability—it’s essentially a Tahoe with 15 inches added behind its rear seats. That grants it better second- and third-row legroom and more than 42 cubic feet of cargo space behind row three, though it’ll be a challenge to fit in all but the biggest garages.
Chevy’s hallmark 5.3-liter V-8 comes standard in almost all versions, while the luxury trims get the powerful and throaty 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8 as an option. The 3.0-liter turbodiesel returns, despite all odds, and though it’s expensive as an option it does deliver impressive cruising distances as well as more power this year—305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque, Chevy says. All Suburbans team their engine with a 10-speed automatic and a choice of rear- or four-wheel drive (where 4WD isn’t standard). A max-trailering package lifts towing capacity to 8,200 pounds, about 200 pounds less than the related Tahoe. New tech helps drivers navigate around corners and down boat ramps, and helps figure driving range when a towed vehicle has been connected.
The Suburban’s four-star NHTSA crash-test rating draws our concern, but this year GM adds dash-cam functionality to record video of crashes. The hands-free Super Cruise driver-assist system returns, with its more than 400,000 miles of roads mapped in the U.S. and Canada.
How much does the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban cost?
Prices likely will rise from 2024’s base sticker of $61,195. A Suburban LT with leather seats will land somewhere in the mid-$60,000s and offer the best value. Keep going and the top High Country Suburban will push the price near Escalade levels.
Where is the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban made?
In Arlington, Texas.
