In an age where SUVs are often being designed to be smaller, it can seem like the days of the full-size SUV might soon be a distant memory. However, a need still exists for larger SUVs, particularly ones that offer three rows of seating, plenty of storage space, and considerable towing power. One of the most respected and well-known offerings in this category is the Chevy Suburban, which has been tuned up for the new year.
It seems serendipitous that we’re looking at the 2025 Chevy Suburban, given that this year marks the ninetieth anniversary of this nameplate's iconic debut. That’s right: the largest SUV in Chevy's lineup got its start long before the term "SUV" entered our vocabulary. Looking at other models from the time of its debut, the Suburban is clearly the sole survivor, as the early brands that were once Chevy's peers—present during the formative years of the auto industry—like DeSoto, Nash, and Studebaker are now relegated to the history books, while the Suburban is still going strong nearly a century later.
Besides being a remarkable anniversary for the Suburban, some integral upgrades for the 2025 model year demonstrate Chevy's never-ending search for quality and perfection. Some of the newest improvements include a re-tuned diesel engine with increased power as well as myriad tech tools that make towing and trailering easier.
Also, many of the favorite features of the 2025 Chevy Suburban make a welcome return, prompting this model to gain wider popularity among today's drivers. The Z71 trim—ideally formulated for those who enjoy their adventures off the beaten path—is back for 2025, and the Suburban’s touchscreen now measures an impressive 17.7 inches, which is wider than some laptops! Chevy has taken the time to review the Suburban with a fine-toothed comb, ensuring the new design has everything that modern drivers could ask for.
Starting at
It’s safe to assume that a vehicle with the size and girth of the Chevy Suburban requires a powertrain to propel it forward and pull considerable weight to its various destinations. You would be right in this assumption. Because many drivers pay closer attention to aspects like performance when choosing a full-size SUV, we can't neglect to highlight the engines that the Suburban offers for the 2025 model year.
As has been the case for the past few years, three separate powertrains are available for the Chevy Suburban. Each one possesses unique advantages that are certain to adhere to any circumstance or purpose you might need to attend to. A 5.3L V8 is standard and delivers the goods with 355 hp. The 5.3L might be the base engine, but when equipped with RWD, it possesses a high towing capacity, with a maximum rating of 7,700 lbs. All engines are paired with GM’s ten-speed automatic transmission for optimum performance and exceptionally smooth shifting.
If some of these engine configurations seem familiar to you, it’s because these are the same two V8 engines that can be found under the hood of the Silverado 1500—and if they’re good enough to power Chevy’s flagship product, imagine what they can do for you in the ultimate full-size SUV! The 6.2L offers the most power, with 420 hp, to surpass any expectations you might have in this particular category. The 6.2L comes standard on the top-tier High Country trim of the Suburban but is an available upgrade on some of the preceding trim levels, too.
Diesel powertrains have been undergoing a renaissance in the past few years, and there’s little doubt that Chevy and their line of Duramax engines have been primarily responsible for this rebirth. The 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine is improved for the 2025 model year, and it has already proven its ability and performance in the Silverado 1500.
The improved diesel engine provides 305 hp, and while this might be a smaller figure than the Suburban's other two engines, no one can argue with the exceptional rating of 495 lb-ft of torque. The Duramax also provides the Suburban with its best fuel economy, with drivers having achieved an EPA-estimated 21 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway with this powertrain in previous years; we expect the same fuel economy figures this year. For a full-size SUV, these figures surpass expectations and allow for ideal performance and value—something that other models often fail to provide both of.
To say the Chevy Suburban is a spacious vehicle would be an understatement. As one of the largest SUVs on the road today, the Suburban offers a vast amount of room for seating and storage, and it emphasizes comfort to make any trip enjoyable and relaxing, no matter the distance. The incredible aspects of performance aside, the interior of the Suburban is where you’ll spend most of your time, so Chevy was determined to make the experience one you would thoroughly enjoy.
One of the newest advantages of the 2025 Chevy Suburban is that its infotainment screen now spans 17.7 inches for a thoroughly immersive experience in terms of connectivity and entertainment. Anchoring the interior, it provides you access to features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and you also benefit from a Wi-Fi hotspot and a wireless charging pad as standard offerings. Additional upgrades are available, such as a high-end stereo system from the experts at Bose and a rear media system that younger passengers will surely enjoy on long trips.
Everyone has their preference when it comes to seating arrangements, and there are two ways in which you can have an interior you can enjoy. The standard option is for two rear benches that provide seating for six passengers, in addition to the co-pilot's seat up front. Of course, for those who want to increase mid-vehicle comfort along the lines of the front row, two captain’s chairs are available for the second row, making a comfortable experience for up to seven occupants in total.
Of course, when seating isn't the priority, you’ll have the lion's share of cargo space. The Suburban offers over 140 cu.ft of available storage space when all seats are folded. However, when you have a full house occupying all three rows, there is over 40 cu.ft. of space for luggage—almost three times the size of the trunk in the average four-door sedan!
If you think the wealth of advantages that come with the 2025 Chevy Suburban are limited to its interior and performance, think again. Chevy has gone out of its way to equip the 2025 Suburban with various technological implements that enhance the driving experience and streamline such activities as towing.
Many drivers who opt for a full-sized SUV like the Suburban enjoy trailering and towing. A selection of towing features shall now bolster confidence when you have cargo in tow. These features are significant breakthroughs that can assist with any job, no matter how challenging.
Tire monitoring systems have been standard on all vehicles for a few years—but not on their trailers. The dangers of having a blowout on your trailer while carrying a significant payload have always concerned many. Adding this tech to the Suburban allows you to maintain oversight on your trailer’s tires.
You'll always be in the know regarding towing capacity courtesy of this built-in app. It’s an excellent way to monitor how much you’re carrying and how much more weight you can tow.
The road ahead can seem unpredictable at times. This feature will allow you to judge how much room you have to maneuver, even when you have a sharp turn to make. It’s a great feature at your disposal, particularly if you’re traveling in unfamiliar territory.
Are you thinking of launching a boat? This can be a tricky process, so this feature is in place to help you launch and detach with relative ease.
With the assistance of Google Maps, you can accurately calculate the time it takes to reach your destination with your cargo in tow, and on a route that favors your trailer.
The 2025 Chevy Suburban also has many standard safety features to protect you and your passengers during your travels. Forward collision alert with pedestrian and cycle assist is standard, and the same can be said for automated emergency braking. These features are essential for providing additional reaction time to help prevent a collision.
Other features can be added to some of the Suburban’s upper trims. These include adaptive cruise control, which can self-modulate your speed during highway driving by monitoring traffic patterns and making the proper adjustments. Super Cruise—GM’s semi-autonomous driving tool—is the most coveted upgrade, which can significantly reduce driver fatigue over long distances while providing hands-free steering on hundreds of thousands of miles of compatible highways across North America.
There’s a lot to be excited about regarding the 2025 Chevy Suburban. With a host of new features, tuned-up powertrains, and more room to accommodate gear and passengers, there’s no better time to experience the greatness of the Suburban.
