The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban showcase luxurious interiors and powerful engines in their latest update. General Motors has injected significant upgrades into these family SUVs, enhancing their exterior appearance and interior luxury.
The new Tahoe and Suburban are equipped with a more powerful and smoother turbocharged diesel engine, with power increased to 305 horsepower, significantly exceeding the current 277 horsepower. This engine made its debut in the Silverado 1500, and is expected to be used in the upcoming updated Cadillac Escalade.
General Motors has extracted more power from the diesel engine by installing new high-flow injectors. Additionally, new steel pistons and a modified turbocharger contribute to the improved performance, while new sound-deadening materials effectively prevent diesel engine noise from entering the cabin.
The standard 5.3-liter V8 engine is available for LS, LT, RST, Z71, and Premier trims, while the High Country trim features a 6.2-liter V8 engine. The improved diesel engine will only be available in the 2025 versions of Suburban and Tahoe after the initial launch.
For the first time, the Z71 model will offer a 3.0-liter diesel engine, providing buyers with more options. As expected, it is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Suspension System Update
Chevrolet has updated the multi-link rear suspension system to provide superior driving characteristics and control. While the automaker has not disclosed detailed information, Chief Engineer Martin Hayes states that the changes have made the Tahoe and Suburban much more agile than their large dimensions might suggest.
Customers seeking the best possible driving comfort can opt for the adaptive air suspension and magnetic ride control system. The former is available in High Country and Z71 models, and for the first time in RST models. In addition to a comfortable ride, the adaptive air suspension allows the driver to choose the ride height while the vehicle is stationary, making it easier for passengers to enter and exit the SUV. On off-road journeys, the system can also provide additional ground clearance.
The magnetic ride control system equips both vehicles with sensors that monitor road conditions 1000 times per second, instantly adjusting the shock absorption system to optimize vehicle dynamics. This system is available on RST and Z71 models but is standard on High Country and Premier models.
Design Inspired by Silverado
The 2025 Tahoe and Suburban maintain their distinctive presence, but General Motors has given both vehicles added appeal with numerous design updates. The most noticeable changes appear at the front, with redesigned headlights and lighting units first seen in the new Silverado, featuring C-shaped DRL design. The grille design is bolder, while the lower parts of the bumper have been improved.
The taillight assemblies are connected by a black strip that extends across the width of the tailgate. The RST and High Country models feature 24-inch wheels that add an extra touch of shine. The Premier and High Country models receive a redesigned dynamic lighting unit and turn signal indicators.
In 2025, two new colors will be introduced: Lakeshore Blue Metallic and Cypress Gray. Inside the spacious cabin is a new 17.7-inch infotainment screen supported by an 11-inch driver display. The introduction of the new screen has resulted in the repositioning of the air vents and other controls to the lower part of the vehicle.
Chevrolet has also redesigned the center console to accommodate additional storage options. This has also allowed the design team to relocate the wireless charger to a more convenient position. Additionally, both models benefit from a new steering wheel and exclusive trims.
The High Country models feature genuine wood accents, and dark/mocha perforated leather seats. The RST models sport exclusive interior designs with red stitching. Meanwhile, the Premier models receive a glossy black/sky cool finish. Some models also feature soft-touch surfaces, contributing to a more premium feel. There are also new piano black and Galvano chrome accents available on some models.
The 2025 Tahoe and Suburban also feature a new interior motion sensor that can alert owners to the presence of a rear passenger in the vehicle. If the system detects movement inside the vehicle after it has been turned off, it will notify the driver of the issue. A camera will also be available, allowing the driver to monitor the vehicle remotely.
Both vehicles come equipped with a range of driver assistance features, including forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, and emergency automatic braking. Naturally, a Super Cruise version will also be offered after the initial launch in 2025.
These two versatile SUVs are practical vehicles for families who love adventure. To make their lives easier, Chevrolet has equipped both models with a trailer tire monitoring system, enhancing driving safety.
Both models are expected to go on sale at the end of next year, with pricing and additional details to be announced closer to the launch date. The 2025 Tahoe and Suburban are anticipated to cost more than their current starting prices of $54,200 and $57,200, respectively. They will be produced at the Arlington plant, which recently received a $500 million investment to continue building large SUVs.
