At first, the 2025 Chevy Suburban and Tahoe seem to have everything in common. But key differences between these SUVs make each one a better fit for some drivers more than others! To help you make the right choice, we’re here to help you explore everything from their interior comfort to rugged performance.
Key Takeaways
- The bigger 2025 Suburban (from $62,000) costs a little more than the 2025 Tahoe (starting at $59,000).
- The Suburban’s extended length and width translate into more interior space — especially for third-row passengers and cargo!
- These full-size Chevy SUVs share advanced safety aids, modern creature comforts, and premium upgrades.
- The same powerful engines are available for both SUVs, including a relatively thrifty turbodiesel inline-six. But the Tahoe is rated to tow the biggest boat!
Price
The 2025 Chevy Tahoe, starting at $59,000, is the automaker’s classic full-size SUV. Inside, it’s big on space. Outside, it’s big on power. And in this segment, it comes at a great price!
The extended-length 2025 Chevy Suburban is essentially a bigger version of the Tahoe. It costs a more than the Tahoe, starting at $62,000. But if you need its extra interior space (more on this below) to help manage your NOLA lifestyle, the small price increase is worth it.
Size & Interior Space
Whether you’re on your way to the Jazz Fest or a Saints game, both Chevy SUVs have plenty of space for your coolers and folding chairs. But the Suburban, which is essentially an extra-length version of the Tahoe, is an extra-roomy option. Its additional 15 inches of length and 13.2 inches of wheelbase translate into more third-row legroom (1.8 inches, to be exact) and a much bigger cargo hold. Behind the rear seats, you can load 42 cubic feet of cargo space with your costume changes and road-trip luggage. That’s a major improvement on the Tahoe’s 26 cubic feet of cargo space!
Tech & Comfort Features
Which of these full-size SUVs is right for your family road trips to Florida or Texas? We can truthfully say that when it comes to quiet cruising and high-tech connectivity, either Chevy will do just fine! Both models keep you connected to the world at large, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 17.7-inch central touchscreen, and 11-inch digital gauge cluster. And both are available with seemingly endless comfort upgrades. Available luxury items — including premium leather seating, hands-free Super Cruise driving technology, and an expansive sunroof — transform your SUV into a home away from home.
Powerful Performance
Chevy’s all-American SUVs (and their GMC cousin, the Yukon) are the last models in the segment to maintain their classic V8 performance, delivering smooth composure and tried-and-true power. The Suburban and Tahoe offer the same engine options. And that means you can equip either SUV for maximum strength (with the 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8) or the highest EPA ratings (with the turbodiesel I-6).
However, boat owners should be aware of one big difference between these SUVs: towing capacity. Properly equipped, the Tahoe can tow the biggest toys, with a max rating of 8,400 pounds. The Suburban is nearly as capable, maxing out at 8,200 pounds.
2025 Suburban & Tahoe Engine Options
- 5.3L V8 (355 hp, 383 lb-ft)
- Optional 6.2L V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft)
- Optional turbocharged 3.0L inline six-cylinder diesel engine (305 hp, 495 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive
