If you’re wanting a Chevy SUV, there’s two main options. These are the Suburban, and the Tahoe. In order to get the best family vehicle, there’s a few things to keep in mind. Here is the difference between 2025 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe models.
Key Takeaways
- Both models have the same heart, coming with the same engine options.
- The Tahoe and Suburban can tow similar amounts at 8,400-pounds.
- If you want something that is spacious for you, and your family, the Suburban is what you want. This will keep you comfortable, even on the longest trips.
Which model has more space: Suburban.
If you want the most interior room for you and your family, then look for a Suburban. With all seats in place, you have access to 41.5 cu-ft of cargo capacity with all seats in place.
This is much more than the Tahoe’s 25.5 cu-ft of cargo capacity. But what does that mean for the average family? This means that you can load up the back with everything you need. Ranging from soccer moms picking up their kids, and their friends at the field, or having the best family road trip vehicle.
Which model has a better engine: It’s a tie.
Both the Tahoe, and the Suburban come with the same engine options. The base engine for most trims is the 5.3L V8. This engine gets 17 MPG combined across the Suburban, and Tahoe.
If you want the best fuel economy, then you can look for the 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel engine. This engine gets 22 MPG combined. While the largest engine, the 6.2L V8 gets 17 MPG combined, as well.
Despite having the same mileage, it does produce more power. This can generate 420 horsepower, and 460 lb-ft of torque. While the smaller 5.3L makes 355 horsepower, and 383 lb-ft of torque.
While they do have the same engines, the overall build of the Tahoe gives it a slight edge. This is thanks to the Towing capacity for the Tahoe being 8,400-pounds. While Chevy does claim the Suburban can tow the same amount, there’s some conflicting reports with Car and Driver claiming that the max capacity is 8,300-pounds.
Which has a better price: Tahoe
If you’re like most drivers, the main factor in a new vehicle is the price. If you’re looking for the one with the best price, then the Tahoe is what you want. It is just as, if not more, capable than the Suburban.
The Tahoe has a starting price of $61,195 and comes with some pretty decent features. For the base model you can find a 17.7-inch LCD with Google built-in, adaptive cruise control, tri-zone automatic climate control, and more.
While the Suburban offers the same features, at a slightly higher price, with the base model starting at $64,195. But why is the price higher for the same features? That’s thanks to the increased size of the vehicle. The Suburban is more comfortable than the Tahoe in terms of space.
The Tahoe is meant to be the SUV that every handyman with kids can depend on. It’s not huge, but it can get the job done, and looks good doing it.
Which is right for me? That’s for you to decide.
