Families will tell you there’s nothing better than the Chevy Suburban, especially when it comes to shuttling everyone to all the places they need to go. It’s spacious, accommodating, and powerful, and whether you’re rolling around town or pulling your camper into the woods, it can handle any feat with unrivaled confidence. At Edwards Chevrolet Downtown, we’re proud to offer this model to our customers, and if you’re in the market for a full-size SUV that has all your needs covered no matter where you choose to travel, the Suburban is a winner. Let’s explore some of the 2025 Suburban highlights to see how this large traveler has gotten even better at meeting your needs on the road.

Eye-Catching Style

The Suburban is commanding—there’s really no better word for it. When it approaches you on the street, it exudes a level of confidence that you can’t find elsewhere, and for 2025, you can expect this hulking hauler to exhibit even more style, especially when it comes to its exterior presence. From revamped grilles and fascias across the board to new available exterior walk-up and walk-away lighting animations, the Suburban emits a designer appeal like no other. Every model also offers new wheel options, with 24-inch wheels offered for the first time ever on the upscale RST and High Country models. Even its massive interior has been refreshed and renewed with top-of-the-line amenities and premium materials to help you remain comfortable while you’re carting the kids to all their destinations.

Improved Ride Quality

You may assume that the Suburban may be difficult to handle since it’s so large; however, that would be an incorrect assumption, especially for models from 2025. These models have undergone improvements to make the ride even smoother than ever. Available Magnetic Ride Control adjusts damping to ensure the most comfortable ride possible, while Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension raises and lowers the Suburban to make any ride feel spectacular. It lowers its height to improve efficiency on the highway and raises it to clear obstacles, and when you want to enjoy every moment you’re inside this full-size traveler, these features are worth it.

More Diesel Power

For 2025, the available 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel sees a boost in power, making the Suburban’s ride even more engaging than before. It now offers 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque to your drive and can tow up to 8,100 lbs, making it easy to attach a large trailer or camper and set off to your next destination. The turbo-diesel offers 10% more horsepower than previous years, and for the first time ever, it can be enjoyed on the off-road-ready Z71 trim, maximizing your adventures in the wilderness in all new ways.

The 2025 Suburban can also be equipped with a 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, which surges forward with 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, with the ability to tow up to 8,200 lbs. If you want a bit more excitement when you press down on the gas pedal, opting for the available 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 will deliver, providing you with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Not only will it make any journey feel more invigorating, but you’ll also be able to tow up to 8,000 lbs. No matter which engine you choose to move your Suburban forward, know that it’s powerful enough to take on any task you toss its way.

Massive Touchscreen Experience

Another upgrade the Suburban sees for the 2025 model year is an all-new touchscreen experience, thanks to the addition of a standard 17.7-inch immersive display—a best-in-class feature. Not only will you have access to all of your coveted apps, contacts, messages, and more, they will be presented to you in stunning definition, making the interior of your Suburban feel like a driver-centric cockpit. You’ll also have access to an 11-inch digital Driver Information Center behind the steering wheel, which provides you with important details about your ride, including speed, navigation prompts, safety alerts, and more. For those who wish to view pertinent information like this on the windshield, an available class-leading 15-inch Head-Up Display is on the menu to add even more convenience to the drive, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road at all times.

Cutting-Edge Tech

In addition to a phenomenal display experience, the 2025 Suburban showcases some of the most advanced tech on the market. You’ll find that Super Cruise hands-free driving capabilities are available on more trims this year, enhancing the ride like never before. With the ability to let your Suburban take charge of steering, accelerating, and braking through traffic on hundreds of thousands of compatible roadways across the nation, you’ll be able to sit back and relax more often and enjoy the scenery as it whizzes by.

The 2025 Suburban also showcases a spectacular array of trailering tech, which makes it easy to handle loads of 8,000+ lbs with confidence. New features this year include available Trailer Tire Health, which keeps an eye on the longevity of your tires. You can also enjoy available Trailer Navigation, which utilizes Google Maps to calculate your route while keeping in mind the size and weight of your trailer. In addition to these ultra-helpful features, the 2025 Suburban includes creature comforts, like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a wireless charging pad, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and more features as you make your way up the trim levels.

Unmatched Space

Families are drawn to the Suburban because it offers the space they need to handle their pack, as well as everything that’s joining them on the ride. From double strollers to sports equipment, school projects to stuffed animals, there’s a place for all of it on board this large-scale hauler. With room for up to nine when opting for the front bench seat, the Suburban is able to offer all inside a relaxing and comfortable experience with plenty of legroom. Its cargo haul is perhaps its most impressive attribute, as it can accommodate up to 144.7 cu.ft. of gear—another best-in-class accolade. You’ll even be able to load up when your hands are full with the available AutoSense Power Liftgate, which responds to your presence when you stand behind the Suburban with your key fob.

5 Reasons Why You Should Make the Chevy Suburban Part of the Family

Three-row SUVs have quickly surpassed station wagons and minivans as the go-to choice for today’s busy families. Offering abundant passenger and cargo space, cutting-edge safety features, and the sort of comfort and convenience tech that few other vehicles can match, these full-size models are packed with a wide array of family-friendly features. Take the Chevy Suburban, for instance. With seating for up to nine passengers, the best cargo capacity in its class, and third-row seating that won’t leave adults feeling cramped, the Suburban places a real emphasis on utility, but it doesn’t just trade on its pure size. The Suburban is also packed with a range of advanced safety and entertainment tech, including a high-definition Surround Vision camera, adaptive cruise control, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a rear seat entertainment system that’s sure to satisfy the kids. Let’s explore some of these features in-depth and learn why the Suburban is the name to beat in today’s family-focused full-size segment. more A Roomy Third Row (and First and Second) Between toting sports equipment, packing for an extended road trip, or accommodating a busy after-school carpool, a full-size SUV can never have too much space. Chevy has clearly kept this in mind when designing the twelfth-generation Suburban, upping the SUV’s cargo capacity by 23 cu.ft. and lowering the floor to make it the most spacious version to date. Ample seating for up to nine passengers means that the Suburban can transport even the largest families with ease while still retaining an impressive amount of cargo space. The Suburban is a standout in terms of sheer volume, offering some of the best passenger space in its class. With an impressive amount of total passenger and cargo volume, the three-row Chevy Suburban feels like a home away from home. While that sort of space makes for an exceedingly comfortable ride, it’s the way in which it’s designed that really sets the Suburban apart. Many three-row models tend to prioritize passenger comfort in the first and second rows while treating those in the third row as little more than an afterthought. That’s not the case with the Chevy Suburban, which offers more third-row legroom than any other model in its class, with 36.7 inches of legroom. The first and second rows are even roomier at 44.5 and 42 inches of legroom respectively, but it’s the Suburban’s focus on those third-row passengers that makes the SUV such a leader in the segment. With 62.8 inches of third-row shoulder room and 38.2 inches of head room, even adults and fast-growing teens will be able to stretch out, relax and enjoy the ride. Class-Leading Cargo Capacity The Suburban’s abundant cargo room doesn’t always garner the same attention as its class-leading passenger volume, but it certainly should. The full-size SUV can offer 41.5 cu.ft. of cargo space while still packing in the full complement of nine passengers, a feat that goes a long way towards upping the Suburban’s appeal from a convenience and utility perspective. With the third row stashed away, that figure jumps to 93.8 cu.ft., or a class-leading 144.7 cu.ft. when both the third and second rows are folded down. If you’re in the market for an SUV that doesn’t ask busy families to choose between cargo and passenger capacity, it’s hard to do better than the Suburban. In fact, only the Jeep Grand Wagoneer L and Cadillac Escalade ESV outdo the Suburban in overall size, and both charge a real premium for that fact with starting prices that are some $35,000 above Chevy’s three-row model. Advanced Safety Features Galore The Suburban can accommodate an impressive amount of gear, but its most precious cargo is the passengers themselves. In order to make sure every rider arrives at their destination safe and sound, the Suburban comes standard with a long list of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) known as Chevy Safety Assist. From Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking to Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, a Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam high beam assist, the Suburban’s arsenal of advanced safety tech provides valuable peace of mind when you’re behind the wheel. While these features can go a long way towards reducing accidents and promoting road safety, they’re just the tip of the iceberg as far as the Suburban’s ADAS offerings are concerned. Those looking to enhance the Suburban’s already-impressive ADAS roster can add adaptive cruise control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, OnStar safety and security, and even a high-definition Surround Vision feature that gives the drivers a bird’s-eye view or display a live feed from four different cameras. From nestling into tight parking spots to spotting nearby obstacles before they can damage the paint job, Surround Vision is the perfect pairing for the sizable Suburban. Rear Seat Entertainment System Digital distractions can be just as important as snacks, gas, and GPS directions when trying to ensure a successful––and harmonious––ride. To that end, Chevy has packed the Suburban with a full suite of advanced entertainment tech that’s sure to keep everyone occupied, whether you’re heading out on the highway for a summer road trip or just running errands around town. While most Suburban models sport a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system that’s compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it’s the Suburban’s rear-seat entertainment system that marks one of the model’s most unique features. Available as an optional add-on, the entertainment system includes two 12.6-inch screens mounted into the back of the front-row seats that turn the Suburban into a media room on wheels. Passengers can enjoy their favorite content by connecting to their preferred streaming service or plugging a laptop or DVD player into the two available HDMI ports. If a little mobile gaming is more your style, you can even bring a video game system along for the ride. If the kids can’t agree on what to watch or play, each 12.6-inch screen can be tuned to display its own content and direct the sound to individual headsets. Parents can control the media system through the myChevrolet Studio app, which also allows them to pause, mute, or lock the system as they see fit. Throw in a Wi-Fi hotspot that’ll let you stream content without interruptions, and it’s easy to see why the Suburban has become such a popular choice amongst families. Towing Prowess Power is an important metric for any vehicle, but a brawny engine is especially vital when you’re talking about a full-size SUV that needs to facilitate all your family adventures. While some three-row offerings tend to be a little lackluster under the hood, Chevy has taken a different approach by pairing the Suburban with a 5.3-liter V8 that can churn out 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque with ease. That amount of power will certainly come in handy when you’re trying to merge onto the highway, but it’s the engine’s impact on the Suburban’s towing ability that really increases its family-friendly appeal. When equipped with the standard V8 and Max Trailering Package, the three-row SUV can tow up to 8,300 pounds. Opting for the High Country trim’s 420-hp, 6.2-liter V8––or adding it to the RST, Z71, or Premier––sees the Suburban’s towing capacity drop to 7,400 pounds, but that should still be more than enough to tow a boat, trailer, RV or whatever else you need for a little weekend adventure. The Chevy Suburban is Ready for All Your Family Travels It’s hard to imagine a vehicle that’s more in line with the needs of today’s busy family than the Chevy Suburban. From its class-leading cargo capacity and refreshingly spacious third row to its roster of safety-enhancing ADAS, the Suburban simply can’t be beat when it comes to those features that make for a great family vehicle. Add in a Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and a rear-seat entertainment system that can seamlessly pair with various streaming services, video game systems, and other media, and you’ve got a three-row SUV that’s sure to meet the needs of even the most digitally dependent passengers. The full-size model’s 8,300 pounds of maximum towing capacity enhances the utility factor, allowing the Suburban to handle the demands of an on-the-go family or double as a reliable work vehicle. No matter what sort of attributes you value in a family vehicle, the Chevy Suburban is sure to check all the boxes.
