2025 Chevrolet Suburban Redesign, Interior, Price
2025 Chevrolet Suburban Redesign, Interior, Price – If you have to think about whether or not you need a 2025 Chevrolet Suburban, you probably don’t. After all, there are plenty of other vehicles on the market that can do the stuff this behemoth can, and for less money. But few can do everything this SUV is capable of all at once, with plenty of usefulness and utility stuffed into this outsized package. And perhaps most crucially, fewer still do it with the same sensibility as this big Chevy.
2025 Chevrolet Suburban Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior and Interior
The seats are quite comfortable and supportive, with wide cushions and deep enough bolstering to keep occupants up front firmly in place. Both rear rows feature far flatter seats, though they’re padded enough that they should keep squirming to a minimum during longer trips. The optional rear-seat entertainment system should help, too ($2,295), with twin 12.6-inch touchscreens in the back that offer HDMI connections and wireless Wi-Fi projection. It may not be a conventional comfort feature, but it should certainly bring some peace and quiet to the drive.
Notably absent from the list of comfort features are massage functionality for driver and passenger in this top trim. While such seats are included in the most expensive Ford Expedition, they’re kept out of the Suburban High Country – presumably to create some separation from its Cadillac sibling.
2025 Chevrolet Suburban Specs
With six trims to choose from and various packages to add from there, plenty of time could be spent covering all the ways you can buy your Suburban. Instead, here are the highlights – and the lowlights. That 10.2-inch touchscreen, as well as those wireless phone connections and a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot, is standard in every trim, as are three 120-volt outlets, tri-zone automatic climate control, a wireless phone charger, push-button start, and rear parking sensors, among other features. Left off the spec sheet for the least expensive LS trim, however, are heated front seats – somewhat shocking given the starting price.
Even the top trim has some bizarre omissions considering its nearly $90,000 asking price before tax. Make no mistake, there’s plenty of good stuff included, like heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seats, leather upholstery, and a 10-speaker stereo, just to name a few; but those retractable side steps, the panoramic sunroof, and even adaptive cruise control all must be added after the fact.
Engine and Performance
All trims except the off-road-inspired Z71 come with the choice of gas-fired eight-cylinder or inline-six diesel engines under the hood, though the High Country trim is the only one offered with a 6.2L V8 that’s brimming with brute strength. It makes the same 460 lb-ft of torque as the hearty diesel that would be your humble author’s preferred power source (it’s a no-charge option at the top of the lineup but a $1,995 upgrade elsewhere) to go with a whopping 420 hp.
While the thumping V8 is enough to transform the Silverado into something of a sport truck, the extra weight of the Suburban – as speced, it tips the scales at more than 2,725 kg (6,008 lb) – makes the experience just a little more mellow when you roll on the throttle. The 10-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly as it runs through the gears, pausing only briefly between them, while it’s quick to drop a cog or two when it’s time to pass.
2025 Chevrolet Suburban Fuel Economy
The big engine’s peak output comes with the added expense of running premium-grade gas, of which the Suburban High Country burns at a rapid rate. Officially, it’s rated at 14.6 L/100 km combined – nearly a litre worse than the Silverado pickup powered by the same motor. Not many non-performance SUVs are expected to do worse – it’s only the Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada and their mechanical twins, the Lexus LX 570 and Infiniti QX80, respectively, that have more miserable ratings – and those with concerns about efficiency will find what they’re looking for with the diesel engine instead. 2025 Chevrolet Suburban Redesign
With its selectable four-wheel drive system disconnected to power the rear wheels only during an initial evaluation drive (there’s also an automatic setting that sends torque to the front wheels only when it’s needed), the Suburban managed 12.3 L/100 km – in line with its official highway rating, which makes sense given the majority of the 210 km covered were done on the highway. It didn’t take long for that figure to climb around town, however, and the final count clocked in at 15.2 L/100 km over 500 km.
2025 Chevrolet Suburban Safety Features
Although lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and blind-spot monitoring are not included in the least expensive models of this large Chevy, the inclusion of sophisticated safety features is also decent but not exceptional. These include automated emergency braking and forward collision warning with pedestrian recognition as standard features. 2025 Chevrolet Suburban Redesign
When equipped all those features perform admirably, as did the extras fitted to the High Country tester seen here like its head-up display and optional adaptive cruise control. The latter does without the lane-centring functionality that’s becoming ever more prevalent but is better for it, working in conjunction with the lane-keep assist and modulating speed well when approaching slower traffic ahead.
2025 Chevrolet Suburban Price and Release Date
First, something of a contentious topic. Even when done up in this top High Country trim the Suburban isn’t quite as luxurious as other SUVs like it, namely its mechanical twin, the Cadillac Escalade, or the Navigator from rival Lincoln. That makes the asking price here – a shade less than $100,000 before tax with just about every option added – stand out for the wrong reasons. But just as a ski jacket from an outdoor brand like Arc’teryx can easily cost as much as a wool coat from designer label Ted Baker, it’s not the fashion you’re paying for here but the functionality.
There are a handful of cheaper trims to choose from starting at $61,398 with freight but before tax, though that’s for a rear-wheel-drive model; to add four-wheel traction bumps the price to $64,698. This High Country trim, meanwhile, has a pre-tax asking price of $85,798 including freight, though extras can easily push that fee into six-figure territory. Unsurprisingly, the Suburban’s fraternal twin, the GMC Yukon XL, has a strikingly similar pricing and packaging structure. It starts at $62,828 before tax and climbs to $84,698 for the Denali version. And just like the Suburban, it can creep awfully close to $100,000 before tax with options and add-ons. 2025 Chevrolet Suburban Redesign
