If you want a full-size SUV that doesn’t feel like a minivan, the 2025 Chevy Suburban RST is worth a serious look. It’s massive, yes, but it wears that size well with sharp styling, three solid engine choices, and just enough interior tech to feel modern without being overdesigned. Let's take a peek in this 2025 Chevy Suburban RST review and performance breakdown.
Key Takeaways
- The Suburban RST starts at $73,095 as of August 1, 2025.
- You get two engine options, including a more powerful diesel.
- The 2025 model adds interior upgrades, but keeps the RST’s signature sporty style.
Changes to the Suburban RST for 2025
Chevy gave the Suburban a mild refresh this year, but the changes definitely make an impact, especially on the inside. Every trim now comes with a large 17.7-inch center touchscreen and an 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster behind the wheel, giving the cabin a much more modern, high-end feel.
There are also a few performance updates, including revised chassis tuning to improve ride comfort and handling. And if you’re looking for a more hands-off driving experience, GM’s Super Cruise hands-free tech is now available on more versions of the Suburban than before.
A few new wheel designs are also in the mix, including some huge 24-inch options if you want to go bold. And while the V8 gas engines stay the same, the available diesel engine got a solid power bump, which gives it even more torque for towing or hauling a full cabin.
What You Get with the Suburban RST
The RST trim is where the Suburban feels less like a family hauler and more like something stylish you’d be happy to be seen in. It comes with blacked-out trim, 22-inch wheels, and just enough exterior attitude to make this huge SUV look athletic instead of bulky.
Inside, you get leather seats in the first and second rows, with heated front seats and memory settings to make daily driving a little more comfortable. There’s also a power liftgate for easy loading, and a Bose stereo system to make sure your playlists sound as big as the vehicle itself.
The RST trim gives you access to three different engines. Most versions come with the 5.3-liter V8 that makes 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. If you want something a little different, the available 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel now makes 305 horsepower and a massive 495 pound-feet of torque.
Both engines mate with a 10-speed automatic transmission and come with either rear-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive.
Top Tech and Modern Comfort for the Suburban RST
The Suburban already had plenty of space; now it has the tech to match. The new standard touchscreen is big, bright, and easy to use with standard features like wireless charging, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot that keep everyone connected on long drives.
You can also opt for a rear-seat entertainment system to keep passengers happy, especially on road trips.
Is the 2025 Chevy Suburban RST for You?
If you want a big SUV that’s more than just a people-mover, the Suburban RST delivers. It’s spacious, bold-looking, and comes with enough tech and engine options to fit whatever kind of driving you do—whether that’s towing, commuting, or just piling in the whole crew for the weekend.
