Video: 2025 Chevy Tahoe & Suburban Drive Smoothly, Even with 24s!


The refreshed 2025 Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban are here. They are now starting to deliver to retailers. 24-inch wheels are available as an option, and here’s how it feels to ride. Let’s dive in!

These are the best-selling three-row full-size SUVs in the country. The chassis is largely unchanged, the engines are the same, but the suspension has been adjusted to accommodate larger and heavier wheels and tires. You can get a new Tahoe or Suburban with a 24-cylinder from the factory. Adding larger wheels and tires to a production vehicle is no easy task. Chevrolet had to comply with all relevant government regulations. Chevrolet chose the low-profile tires to maximize comfort while ensuring payload and towing capacity.

The low-profile tires generally make the ride harsh, but the air suspension, shocks and tires on the Suburbans I tested provide a very comfortable and smooth ride. I only had limited time in these new SUVs, but I was able to drive these huge SUVs on various paved roads and highways near Dallas, TX. The suspension is able to absorb most of the uneven road surface. Cobblestones are a challenge for any vehicle, and it’s a challenge for the new Suburban on 24s. Still, it’s impressive what they can achieve with a fancy chassis these days.

The new design, new interior design and new technology have a higher price. The base 2025 Chevy Tahoe costs about $5,300 more than a comparable 2024 model (see detailed pricing breakdown below).

Our more detailed test report on the first drive will follow tomorrow. In the meantime, please enjoy the videos below.

The Chevy Suburban will celebrate its 90th anniversary in 2025. This is the longest continuously running automotive nameplate in the industry. The Tahoe and Suburban are built in Arlington, TX (near Dallas and Fort Worth).

Here’s a detailed pricing and performance breakdown for the new 2025 Tahoe and Suburban.
