After decades of hauling America’s families, the Chevrolet Suburban has earned its stripes among the best full-size SUVs. The 2025 RST trim takes this legacy and wraps it in a package that is equal parts family hauler and suburban statement piece.
Look at the 2025 Suburban RST, and you immediately will notice Chevrolet’s commitment to giving this three-ton titan some attitude. The RST treatment blankets the exterior in sharp blackout trim that is both dramatic and stylish. The RST adds a lot of black trim, with optional 24-inch carbon wheels shod with 40-series tires, creating a striking visual. They perfectly complement the RST’s athletic stance while maintaining the iconic design you would expect from one of America’s most established SUV nameplates.
Under the hood, the RST offers flexibility to match your driving needs. The standard engine is the venerable 5.3-liter V-8, which provides 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, with an optional upgrade to the 6.2-liter V-8 which makes 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet For those seeking maximum grunt, that optional 6.2-liter V8 delivers the kind of effortless power that makes highway merging with a full load of passengers feel like child’s play.
There also is a third option that deserves consideration: a 3.0-liter, Duramax diesel beast delivering 305 hp and 495 pound-feet That torque figure speaks volumes about the diesel’s capability, especially when towing a boat or other water craft to Biscayne Bay.
All engines pair with a stellar 10-speed automatic transmission that consistently keeps the powerplant in its sweet spot. In the Suburban, the gearbox is engineered to make sure that the engine always is delivering exactly what you need to navigate South Florida.
The Suburban’s party trick has always been its ability to seat actual adults in all three rows, and the 2025 model continues this tradition admirably. It is designed with large families in mind and offers three rows of seating that can comfortably accommodate up to nine passengers. The extended wheelbase provides ample legroom for all occupants and ensures that even third-row passengers enjoy a comfortable ride.
The RST’s interior receives thoughtful updates for 2025, including what reviewers describe as new “victory red” stitching, adding some pizazz to the interior style. The cabin feels appropriately premium for a vehicle that can rise to $80,000 with some great options.
The Suburban finally gets Chevy’s large screen layout: a 17.7-inch landscape display in the center with an 11-inch unit for the driver. The new infotainment system offers intuitive operation that doesn’t require a computer science degree to navigate.
Google built-in connectivity keeps everyone happy, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto remain available for those who prefer their familiar smartphone interfaces.
Here is where the Suburban RST truly shines and separates itself from the truck-based SUV stereotype. The ride is fantastic, with the Suburban feeling composed and comfortable even when fully loaded. As for fuel economy, the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD with the 6.2-liter V8 engine gets 16 mpg combined.
The RST isn’t just about looking good at the country club. For families with towing needs, whether it’s a camper for weekend getaways or a boat for summer adventures, the Suburban RST rises to the occasion.
Give it a spin and tell me what you think.
