The Exterior

We have a refreshed look for 2025. This is the high Chevy Suburban model so you're going to see some elevated sports luxury-esque design. What's kind of fun about the new Suburban lineup is every trim has something that looks a little bit different, so by trim level you're going to have a different styling to go with the car. Suburban is the biggest full-size SUV in the lineup, about 15 inches longer than the Chevy Tahoe. Most of that space is made up for in the trunk, but she's big.

Engine Options & Towing: 

The 2025 Chevrolet Suburban offers three engine options: a standard 5.3L V8 gasoline engine, an available 6.2L V8 gasoline engine, and an available 3.0L inline-six turbodiesel Duramax engine. The 5.3L V8 is for everyday driving, the 6.2L V8 offers more power, and the 3.0L diesel is the most fuel-efficient option, especially for long-distance driving.

The 2025 Chevy Suburban tows up to 8,200 pounds when properly equipped, varying slightly by engine.

First Row

This interior has some really nice upgrades for 2025. Taking a look at our door panel, tons of additional storage and a nice place for cup holders. I'm loving the saddle brown leather interior as well.

They’ve also reconfigured and redesigned their center console. We have a wireless charger, along with USB and USB-C ports. Two cup holders that are nice and deep, but not that big. Driver’s comfort features are fantastic.

Infotainment

We have an 11in dash and a beautiful 17-in curved display. This is the same display we see in the Chevy Traverse and I am a big fan. We're going to have Super Cruise technology available on more trims, which is very exciting. I love the Super Cruise tech. It's Chevy's version of autonomous driving (they probably don't like that I call it that) but it's like the most autonomous you can get in 2025.

Second Row

With the captain’s chairs, you’re going to get lower anchors and tether anchors. We've got some built-in screens to the back of the headrest as well as a great panoramic sunroof and ceiling vents. I also have heated seats on this High Country trim, two HDMI cords, and two USB-C's back here as well. I've got great leg room, I mean it's a big car - like hello!

The Suburban is one of those cars where I actually feel the captain's chairs aisle is worth it. It’s a really nice open area, so you have decent third row access here. I wish this car had come with sun shades, but if you can't get sun shades my recommendation is a super dark window tint and it kind of does the same thing.

The bench is seat option has a 60/40 split with lower anchors and top tethers in every seat. The passenger side seat folds and flips independently for third row access while the driver side and center seat flip together. There is no way to access the third row with a car seat installed if that is a priority for you! If you're looking for a full size SUV with car seat tilt, check out the Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, Jeep Wagoneer / L, or Nissan Armada or Infiniti QX80.

Car Seat Set Up

Car seat options are endless in this spacious SUV. You can fit a bulky rotating car seat, do three across with ease, or fit comfortably as an adult next to a car seat.

Now if you're going to need third row access, utilizing a baseless car seat or leaving the second row passenger side open is the best choice. With a narrow car seat installed in the center bench position you can still flip the passenger seat forward. If you do need regular third row access, captain's chairs may be the more practical option.

Three Across:

With a narrow seat installed in the center you can fit a rotating car seat outboard or a variety of full size car seats. Using a harnessed car seat or booster seat in the center position vs. having an adult sit there is a good choice. There's no center head restraint here so whiplash in the event of a crash is a concern. Double check that the car seat or booster seat doesn't require a head restraint either-- some do! I easily installed the Chicco MyFit here and it still allowed the passenger side seat to fold and flip.

Third Row

As hardware is concerned, in the third row there are no lower anchors, but tether anchors in all seats. I have really nice leg room, so if you're going to have adults or older kids in the third row, the Chevy Suburban is really one of the best options.

We do have three seats and unlike some other of the midsize cars, the middle seat is actually a real seat. However, no middle head restraint which is really disappointing. It’s added in both the Chevy Equinox and the Chevy Traverse, so it feels like it could have been added by now. In a collision, this is going to be really dangerous and it makes the seat unusable.

Car Seat Set Up

The head restraints are not removable in the outboard positions, just like in the second row, and this can sometimes cause a compatibility issue for car seats. Otherwise they're large seats that can fit compact or larger car seats. I am able to fit a variety of seats rear or forward facing even with the second row moved back.

The Chevy Suburban is one of the few three row vehicles that can actually accommodate three across the third row. While this isn't ideal and I'd recommend tackling this alongside a CPST, it is possible with very narrow car seats.

Trunk

When you walk to the trunk, instead of having to worry about kicking your foot or opening it up. Now, the vehicle can sense you're there and the tailgate is just going to open up automatically. This is such a cool feature because I hate kicking, I'm never kicking right, and then I look like a fool in the grocery store parking lot.

The 2025 Chevy Suburban offers massive cargo space: 41.5 cubic feet behind the third row, 93.8 cubic feet with the third row folded, and a grand total of 144.7 cubic feet with both second and third rows down, making it a class leader for hauling families and gear.
