2025 Tahoe & Suburban Get Significant Tech Upgrades

Two of the largest and best-selling full-size SUVs, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, are about to get even better. Chevrolet released all-new versions of the two large SUVs in 2021, and for 2025 they will be getting some meaningful upgrades for customers. 

New Lighting

The exterior of both the Tahoe and Suburban are given more prominence with their updated headlight and thinner daytime running light (DRL) designs. Both are meant to closely adhere to the style set by the other Chevrolet vehicles. The top lights are the DRLs while the dual C-shape lights are the headlights. Depending on the trim of Tahoe or Suburban, there are new lightning animations for welcoming and walking away from the vehicles. The turn signals also feature a new swipe animation. 

New Wheels

Giving the RST and High Country models a more planted stance is the availability of 24-inch wheels. Two new exterior colors, Cypress Gray and Lakeshore Blue Metallic, are available on either Tahoe or Suburban. 

Upgraded Duramax

The 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel now produces 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, which is an increase of 28 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque. The 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter motors remain unchanged.

• 3.0-liter diesel with 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque
  • Optional on LS, LT, RST, Premier, and High Country
• 5.3-liter with 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque
  • Standard on: LS, LT, RST, Z71, and Premier. 
• 6.2-liter with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
  • Standard on High Country
  • Optional on RST, Z71, and Premier

New Center Console

The center console area has been redesigned to offer better ergonomics and now includes a 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen on all models, which leads to the 11-inch digital gauge cluster display. Thanks to the redesigned center console, the wireless charger is now more conveniently accessible, and the steering wheel is a new design. 

New Interior Trim

Rounding out the interior is redesigned trim for various models including Victory Red stitching on RST models and Jet Black over Sky Cool Gray colors on Premier models. More areas of the interiors are now soft touch, with Piano Black and Galvano chrome decor. High Country Tahoe and Suburban now feature authentic wood trim, as well as wingtip perforated leather seats, a special steering wheel, and Jet Black over Mocha color combo. 

Upgraded Suspension

Steering characteristics and rear suspension tuning have been tweaked to offer more refinement and better handling characteristics. Steering responses offer better confidence for drivers. Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control are available. 

New Towing Features

Whether you are buying a Tahoe or Suburban, both are engineered to tow up to 8,400 and 8,200 lbs, respectively. A Max Trailering Package can be had on select models and includes a high-capacity radiator with cooling fan, integrated trailer brake control, Hitch View, Hill Descent Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, and the use of the Chevrolet Trailering App. New features for 2025 include: Trailer Tire Health, Mobile Trailering App Load Rating Info, Forward Path Indication, Boat Ramp Assist, and Trailer Navigation. 

Better Safety

Both models still come standard with Chevy Safety Assist, but for 2025 Chevrolet is offering extra safety features, including a new interior sensor called Interior Motion Detection, which can detect if a person or animal has been left unattended and sound the vehicle’s alarm at a progressive rate to get the owner’s attention. A new feature, Connected Cameras, allows owners to remotely look at interior and exterior images of the vehicle through a network of cameras. Customers will be able to see 360-degree views, automatic crash recording, security recording, live view, and My Recordings through a dash cam function. The information can be stored with cloud-based storage.
