2025 Chevrolet Suburban vs 2024 Suburban Review

 

Future Chevy of Sacramento presents a comparison: 2025 Chevy Suburban vs 2024 Chevy Suburban

Chevrolet continues to dominate the full-size SUV segment with its iconic family-mover, the Chevy Suburban, designed to deliver bold capability, spacious comfort, and rugged performance. While the 2024 Chevy Suburban and 2025 Chevy Suburban models share many similarities in design and engineering, the 2025 Suburban brings subtle refinements and updates that elevate its already-impressive predecessor, including a refreshed exterior design and a new infotainment system.  For customers all over Roseville, Folsom, Rocklin, Lincoln, Davis, Fair Oaks, both the 2024 Suburban and 2025 Suburban remain a favorite for large families and those who need serious space. With seating for up to nine and a maximum cargo capacity of 144.7 cubic feet, it sets the benchmark for full-size SUV utility. Under the hood, it offers a trio of powertrain options: a 5.3-liter V8, a 6.2-liter V8 producing a robust 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, and the 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel for those seeking long-haul efficiency. Paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission and available rear- or four-wheel drive, the 2024 Suburban delivers both performance and comfort. Whether you're leaning toward the proven performance of the 2024 Chevy Suburban model or the refined updates of the 2025 version, both Suburbans offer unbeatable space, impressive towing capacity (up to 8,300 pounds), and a wide range of trims-from practical to luxurious. Join us as we review the specs of both models, and explore any updates that may affect your decision.  Explore both models today at Future Chevrolet of Sacramento, where we'll help you find the perfect Suburban to match your lifestyle and needs.

Engine Specs, MPG Ratings, and Towing Capacity

The 2025 Chevy Suburban stands tall as one of the most powerful and spacious full-size SUVs on the road, offering a lineup of robust engine options tailored to meet a variety of driving needs-whether you're hauling heavy loads, road-tripping with family, or cruising through city streets.  Under the hood, the 2024 Chevy Suburban as well as the 2025 Chevy Suburban give you three compelling powertrain choices. The standard 5.3-liter V8 engine delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, striking a solid balance between everyday drivability and capable performance. For those who crave more muscle, the available 6.2-liter V8 ups the ante with a commanding 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.  If efficiency is your top priority, the optional 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six offers the best of both worlds. It produces 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, matching the torque of the larger V8 while providing best-in-class fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. All engines are paired with a smooth and responsive 10-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive comes standard. For enhanced traction and off-road readiness, four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case is available, especially when you opt for the rugged Z71 trim.  In terms of capability, the 2025 Suburban mirror the 2024 model and they don't disappoint. They offer up to 8,300 pounds of maximum towing capacity, making it an excellent companion for trailers, boats, or even small campers. 

 
 
 

Interior Highlights and Cargo Capacity

The interior of the 2025 Chevy Suburban continues to lead the full-size SUV class with its impressive blend of space, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. Premium materials and refined finishes give the cabin an upscale feel, while available leather-appointed seating and a redesigned center console enhance both comfort and usability. New tech features like the available 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen and an 11-inch digital gauge cluster elevate the driving experience with clearer visuals and more intuitive controls. The Suburban still offers seating for up to eight passengers, making it an ideal choice for large families or those who regularly carpool. Where the Suburban truly shines is in its cargo capacity-it delivers a best-in-class 144.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with both the second and third rows folded down. Even with all three rows in use, you still get an expansive 41.5 cubic feet of space behind the third row, which is more than enough for groceries, sports gear, or luggage.  Compared to the 2024 Chevy Suburban, the 2025 model enhances an already exceptional interior. The 2024 model offered similarly impressive space-with the same cargo specs-but featured a slightly smaller 10.2-inch infotainment screen and a more traditional dashboard layout. 

Trim Options

The 2025 Chevrolet Suburban is offered for sale in six trims, each tailored to different driving needs and preferences.  Each trim level of the 2025 Suburban is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission and offers a choice between rear-wheel and four-wheel drive, except for the Z71, which comes standard with four-wheel drive. Additionally, a 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel engine is available across all trims, providing an alternative for those seeking improved fuel efficiency.  Let's review them here.

The base trim provides essential features such as LED headlights, an 11-inch digital instrument cluster, a 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and seating for up to nine passengers with an optional front bench seat.

It also offers optional packages like the Comfort and Advanced Technology packages for enhanced convenience and safety features. The RST introduces a sportier aesthetic with 22-inch wheels, black exterior accents, and perforated leather seats. It includes all LT features and offers optional upgrades like the RST Capability package, which adds magnetically controlled shock absorbers and air suspension. Designed for off-road enthusiasts, the Z71 comes standard with four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, hill descent control, skid plates, and all-terrain tires. It also features unique front fascia and red tow hooks, enhancing its rugged appeal.  The Premier trim focuses on luxury and technology, offering features like magnetic ride control, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row bucket seats, a power-sliding center console, and a 10-speaker Bose CenterPoint Surround Sound system.  At the top of the lineup, the High Country includes a standard 6.2L V8 engine producing 420 horsepower, a 15-inch head-up display, rear camera mirror, and unique interior and exterior styling elements.
