2025 Chevrolet Suburban Photos, engines & full specs

The Suburban is the oldest nameplate in automotive history, continuously used by Chevrolet since 1935 and passing through twelve generations until 2021.

In 2023, the twelfth generation of the Suburban went through a mid-life cycle refresh along with its shorter sibling, the Tahoe. Both vehicles had led the full-size SUV market in the US for more than 45 years, but Chevrolet didn’t want to slow down the pace. It drastically improved the Suburban in all areas, making the big SUV look like a different generation. However, it stood on the same chassis as the non-facelifted version. Furthermore, the technology package inside the cabin and the engine lineup were upgraded for the 2025 model year.

At the front, the 2025 Chevy Suburban had redesigned daytime running lights with an angular look pointed toward the car’s center. The big grille with horizontal slats received chromed accents that adorned it, and the bow-tie badge took center stage. Lower, on the bumper, Chevrolet added another cooling area and, underneath it, a small lip spoiler. The high-country trim level of the vehicle featured piano-black accents between the hood and the main grille. Chevy also considered improving the truck’s aerodynamics and added vents that flanked the front fascia to create an air curtain around the wheels.

From its profile, the Suburban kept its main characteristics of a long SUV, with four doors and a long window behind it. The automaker offered the vehicle with standard 18” alloy wheels, and depending on the grade and options, customers could get the Suburban with up to 24” alloys. Like its non-facelifted sibling, the vehicle could get powered running boards that extended to ease ingress and egress. Furthermore, the darkened B-post made the vehicle look even bigger. In addition, the D-pillars were black and created the image of a wrapped-around window area formed by the side rear windows and the one from the tailgate. Finally, at the back, the automaker introduced new taillights that sported a longer lower section and a shorter upper one.

Inside, the Suburban was a place for large families. Its three-row seating allowed up to nine people on board. At the front, customers could notice the new dashboard that sat lower than on the non-facelifted version to provide better front visibility for the driver. For the same reason, the instrument cluster display was reduced by one inch (2.5 cm) but was still large enough at an 11-inch diagonal. Furthermore, Chevrolet installed a 17.7-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system that sported a physical volume knob in its upper left corner.

Another significant improvement for the vehicle was the complex camera system that allowed the owner to see the car’s interior even after they locked it and were away via an app for their smartphone. Accessing the second and the third row of seats was easy, and these provided enough legroom and headroom for everybody. In addition, behind the last row, there was still plenty of storage area in the trunk.

Chevrolet offered the 2025 Suburban with a choice of three engines: two gas-powered V8s and a 3.0-liter inline six turbo-diesel carried over from the Silverado. All versions were paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission that sent the power to the rear wheels or in all corners. The AWD versions of the Suburban also featured a low-range transfer box.
