The 2025 Chevy Tahoe and 2025 Chevy Suburban are two top-tier large, 3-row SUVs with plenty of power, amenities, and features that make every drive more comfortable, and you’ve likely run across them in your research. While they look similar, there are some key differences between these two powerhouses that should be noted, and that’s just what this model comparison guide will do. Read on to find out if the Chevy Tahoe or Chevy Suburban is the best SUV for your next vehicle.
2025 Chevy Tahoe vs. 2025 Chevy Suburban: Power and Performance
Both the 2025 Chevy Tahoe engine setup and the 2025 Chevy Suburban engine setup can come in one of three options:

- A 6.2L V-8 with 420 horsepower
- A Turbo-Diesel 3.0L I-6 with 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque.
These three engine options are available for both the Tahoe and the Suburban. Most of the trims for both vehicles come standard with the 5.3L; the 6.2L, and the diesel 3.0L engines are available as options. Rear-wheel drive is the usual drivetrain on both vehicles, with four-wheel drive as an option, though some of the upper-level trims come with four-wheel drive standard. if you plan on doing any traveling off-road, we recommend 4WD for the power distribution to the wheels for better, tighter handling.
