The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban made their debut in November 2023, and it’s no surprise that the updated models come with higher price tags compared to their 2024 counterparts. However, considering the improvements and features that come with the new models, the price increases are reasonable.
Both the Tahoe and Suburban sport a refreshed front fascia with thinner daytime running lights. The wheels have also been redesigned and are now larger, with the RST and High Country trims offering the option of 24-inch wheels from the factory for the first time. Chevrolet claims that the updated standard suspension gives these SUVs a more nimble feel despite their full-size dimensions. Furthermore, the RST, Z71, and High Country trims have access to the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control shocks, enhancing the overall driving experience.
Inside the cabin, a new, lower-height instrument panel adds to the feeling of spaciousness. The 11-inch digital instrument cluster and 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system are now standard. The center stack still retains physical buttons and knobs for most climate controls, along with a physical volume knob integrated into the screen. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will come standard in the 2025 models, as confirmed by GM.
In terms of powertrain options, the 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines remain unchanged. However, the Duramax 3.0-liter inline-six turbo-diesel has received updates, increasing its output to 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque for 2025. Chevy has stated that the diesel engine won’t be available at launch but will go on sale shortly afterward.
Now let’s talk about pricing. The base MSRPs for the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban, after including the $1,995 destination charge, are as follows:
– Tahoe LS: $60,495
– Tahoe LT: $63,695
– Tahoe Z71: $70,495
– Tahoe RST: $68,495
– Tahoe Premier: $75,095
– Tahoe High Country: $80,195
– Suburban LS: $63,495

– Suburban RST: $71,495
– Suburban Z71 (4WD only): $73,495
– Suburban Premier: $78,095

It’s worth noting that these prices are for front-wheel-drive SUVs, except for the Z71, which comes exclusively with four-wheel drive. Adding four-wheel drive to the other trims costs an additional $3,000. The top-of-the-line High Country 4WD with the 6.2-liter V8 starts at $83,195.
In addition to the higher prices, the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban offer new technology features. The “Connected Cameras” feature allows owners to remotely view and record both the inside and outside of the vehicle for crash and security purposes. Inside the cabin, the new “Interior Motion Detection” system can detect micro-movements to alert the owner about a person or animal still in the vehicle. Towing enthusiasts will appreciate the new trailer tech, including a trailer tire health monitor, a forward path indicator that predicts the turning path of both the SUV and trailer, and a Trailer Navigation system that suggests routes in Google Maps based on the trailer size. The Chevy trailering app also provides guidance on how to tow, launch, and retrieve a boat.
Engine options for the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban include the 5.3-liter V8 with 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the updated 3.0-liter inline-six turbodiesel with 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque, and the 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. The availability of these engines has been reworked for 2025, requiring certain optional packages to be selected to get the desired engine on a specific trim.
In conclusion, the 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban offer significant updates and improvements compared to the previous models. Although the prices have gone up, the MSRP bumps are justified considering the enhanced design, technology features, and overall driving experience that these SUVs provide. Whether it’s the refreshed exterior design, spacious cabin, advanced infotainment system, or upgraded powertrains, the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban are poised to impress buyers looking for a capable and luxurious full-size SUV.
