A Brief Overview of the Chevrolet Suburban's Evolution: From 1935 to 2025
Chevrolet introduced the Suburban in 1935 as a truck-based all-steel wagon with seating for up to eight people. The Suburban's original design was boxy, and it gained a more rounded appearance as time went on. In the 1970s, the Suburban became more muscular with long side panels. In 2000, Chevrolet introduced this SUV's ninth generation with modern looks and the now recognizable Chevrolet bowtie on the front grille. The 12th generation Suburban's refreshed exterior design offers a futuristic, sophisticated appearance.

Aesthetic and Functional Improvements
Refined features on the upper trims include real wood trim and accents, ceiling-mounted fans for the back passengers, and an available AutoSense power liftgate.
Technology and Connectivity
Chevrolet upped the technology features for the 2025 Suburban with a larger touch screen, enhanced multimedia features, and new smart technologies.
Infotainment System Upgrades From 2024 to 2025
The 2024 model features an 8-inch infotainment touch screen on the base trim and a 10.2-inch screen on the upper trims. The 2025 Suburban now has a massive 17.7-inch touch screen. The newest infotainment system comes with Google Maps, Google Assistant, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
Smart Technologies Integrated in the New Model
Smart technologies in this full-size Chevrolet SUV's 2025 model include the available hands-free Super Cruise driver-assist system for select trim levels. You also get OnStar and Chevrolet Connected Services and a three-month trial for SiriusXM satellite radio.
Performance and Powertrain
Whether you want to tow a boat to the lake or take the family on a ski trip, the Suburban has powerful engine options with rear-wheel drive or the optional selectable four-wheel-drive system.
Engine Options and Specifications for Both Years
The Suburban now offers a more powerful 3.0-liter Duramax turbocharged diesel engine that produces 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque compared to the 2024 model's 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. The new diesel engine is available for all 2025 Chevrolet Suburban trims except the base LS.
Other Suburban engine options include the standard 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 with dynamic fuel management that delivers 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. The 2025 High Country Suburban gets a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engine that produces 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. The latter V-8 engine is available for the 2025 Suburban RST, Z71, and Premier trims. The 2024 model offered the same two V-8 engines.
Transmission Updates
The 2024 and 2025 Suburban SUVs have the same electronically controlled 10-speed automatic transmission with a traction select system that includes tow/haul modes.
Towing and Payload Capacities: What's New?

Ride Experience
This truck-based SUV has impressive handling and provides a smooth and quiet ride, whether driving down the freeway or over backcountry trails.
Differences in Ride Quality Between the Models
While all the 2025 Suburban trims offer a high-quality ride, the High Country has magnetic ride control that enhances traction and allows for more precise steering. This feature is also available for select higher trims. The Z71 trim has a two-speed transfer case for crawling over rugged terrain, an off-road suspension system, and Rancho shocks that help absorb bumps from rutted roads.
Impact of the Suspension System on Comfort
The lower 2025 Suburban trims come with Chevrolet's Premium Smooth Ride suspension system.
