2025 Chevy Suburban

Like the Tahoe on which it's based, the Suburban receives a major refresh for 2025, bringing updated tech, a more powerful available diesel engine, and revised styling inside and out to the largest Chevy. The big news is the infotainment system, which upgrades from a 10.2-inch touchscreen to a wide 17.7-inch unit with integrated Google Maps and Google Assistant functionality. The larger screen helps clean up the center stack, which was previously cluttered with buttons. The Suburban's optional turbodiesel inline-six, meanwhile, gains 28 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque and is now available on the Z71 trim level. When it comes to advanced safety tech, the Suburban adds a 360-degree camera, rear cross-traffic automatic braking, adaptive cruise control and an automatic parking system to its list of standard features. Additionally, GM's Super Cruise hands-free driver assist system is available on all trims except the base LS and off-road-focused Z71.

The 2025 Chevrolet Suburban's closest analog is its GMC twin, the Yukon XL. Mechanically, the GMC is virtually identical to the Suburban with the same dimensions and a similar features list. The main differences lie in the Yukon XL's unique styling and slightly pricier top trim level, the Denali Ultimate. Outside the GM family, the Suburban's biggest competitors are the Ford Expedition Max and Jeep Wagoneer L. The Expedition Max offers just one powertrain — a twin-turbocharged V6 with 400 to 440 horsepower — but it's good enough to hang with the Suburban's optional 6.2-liter in a straight-line contest. Like the Expedition Max, the Wagoneer L packs a turbocharged six-cylinder as its only engine option, but in the Jeep's case it makes a stout 510 hp.
