New confidence-inspiring trailering technology and ride-and-handling refinements
Technology enhancements designed to offer more confidence and security, including a fully integrated network of cameras³ that allow customers to remotely view the interior and exterior of their vehicle with select OnStar plans

Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban — the industry’s best-selling large SUVs — launch late next year with fresh designs inside and out, a more powerful diesel engine option available later in production and new technology enhancements designed to provide greater confidence and security behind the wheel.

“The updates on the 2025 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban make the industry’s best-selling full-size SUVs an ever-stronger option for our customers,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Our segment-leading position is the envy of our competitors — no one comes close to Chevrolet.”

Together Tahoe and Suburban have led the segment for over 45 years and established themselves as cultural icons. Chevrolet’s full-size SUVs are truly designed and engineered for its customers. The new 2025 Tahoe and Suburban are no exception; key highlights and features include:

Freshened exterior design with bolder signature lighting and all-new lighting animations, new available 24-inch wheels and more
New interior design centered on an all-new best-in-segment 17.7-inch-diagonal central touchscreen, along with an enhanced High Country interior and additional refinements across the lineup
New, available second-generation 3.0L turbo-diesel Duramax engine with 10 percent more horsepower than current models, which will be available later in production
Ride and handling enhancements engineered for greater driving refinement
Enhanced safety and technology includes Connected Cameras, a fully integrated network of cameras that allow customers to remotely view the interior and exterior of their vehicle, in addition to recording events like crash and theft. Some features may require an OnStar plan

More curb appeal

The 2025 Tahoe and Suburban feature a new look, framed by a fresh front-end design that’s distinguished with new, bolder lighting. All six trims — LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier and High Country — receive a new front fascia, with select trims offering unique design cues. The Z71 — one of the nameplates’ fastest-selling trims — incorporates skid plates and a high-approach front fascia, while the High Country leans in on a sport-luxury theme, with a sophisticated balance of black and Galvano chrome trim.

“The new faces of Tahoe and Suburban are more expressive, borrowing inspiration from the recently refreshed Chevrolet truck lineup,” said Phil Zak, executive design director, Global Chevrolet. “They remain as versatile as ever, but with a greater emphasis on the details that have driven these large SUVs to the top of their segment.”

Additional refinements contribute to a stronger, more planted stance that appears more confident, while new 24-inch wheel designs, available for the first time on RST and High Country, further contribute to the Tahoe and Suburban’s fresh style.

New front and rear lighting also elevate the SUVs’ sophisticated design, with innovative technology delivered in a more refined package. Highlights include:

More integrated appearance of the daytime running lights (DRLs), with a thinner yet more prominent look of the top DRL, thanks to an angled prism within the lighting signature that creates bold illumination in a sleek housing
The more prominent lighting signature gives the vehicles a greater sense of personality, with the Premier and High Country trims further distinguished with standard welcome and walk-away lighting animations as well as animated swipe turn signals
Dual C-shaped light designs maintain the family appearance seen in other Chevrolet vehicles

Along with their new look and lighting, the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban also introduce two new exterior colors: Cypress Gray and Lakeshore Blue Metallic.

Revamped, tech-focused interior

The new Tahoe and Suburban feel airier and more spacious, with a revamped interior that emulates the technology focus of other recently introduced Chevrolet models. Sweeping lines and lowering the instrument panel increase the perceived space for driver and front row passenger.

Display screens are the centerpiece of the cabin, starting with an all-new standard 17.7-inch-diagonal freeform infotainment screen paired with the 11-inch-diagonal driver information center.

The screen is canted slightly toward the driver for a more commanding feeling of control, while still prioritizing easy access for the front-seat passenger. Designed to be intuitive without sacrificing a clean, sleek design, the team struck the careful balance of physical and digital controls in the cockpit.

Additional interior highlights include:

Redesigned center console with new storage options and a repositioned, more convenient wireless charging pad
New steering wheel design
Unique interior with Victory Red stitching on RST and all-new Jet Black/Sky Cool Gray interior on Premier
More sophisticated décor across the lineup, including Piano Black and Galvano chrome, as well as more soft-touch and wrapped materials on select trims
Upgraded and more refined High Country interior, with authentic wood décor — a first for Tahoe and Suburban — along with wingtip perforated leather seating surfaces, a unique steering wheel, “High Country” identification and a unique Jet Black/Mocha color combination

More powerful diesel engine

Also new is the refined, second-generation 3.0L inline-six turbo-diesel Duramax², which offers more power for greater confidence on the road — particularly when trailering. It is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and is offered on all retail trims, including Z71 for the first time.

Launched previously on the Silverado 1500, the new diesel engine is rated at 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of peak torque, increases of 10 percent and 7.6 percent, respectively, over the current diesel engine’s 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.

A retuned turbo compressor, along with new, higher-flow fuel injectors, revised piston-cooling oil jets, new steel pistons and improved temperature control features with the cooling system’s Active Thermal Management contribute to the engine’s enhanced power, while new sound absorption materials and a tuned air induction system help balance its performance with quietness and improved refinement.

A 5.3L gas V-8 remains the standard engine for LS, LT, RST, Z71 and Premier. The 6.2L V-8 is standard on High Country and available on RST, Z71 and Premier. The new diesel engine will be available in 2025 after initial launch.

Ride-and-handling refinements

The multilink independent rear suspension design introduced on the current Tahoe and Suburban has been updated to provide more refined ride-and-handling dynamics. Additional steering calibration improvements offer a confident drive experience across conditions.

“The already excellent ride-and-handling characteristics enabled by the independent rear suspension are taken to the next level with the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban,” said Martin Hayes, chief engineer. “Their responsiveness makes them feel much nimbler than their full-size dimensions suggest.”

Additionally, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control return as available features.

The Air Ride Adaptive Suspension is available on High Country and Z71, along with RST for the first time. It offers automatic load-leveling and ride-height adjustment. In highway driving, it automatically lowers the ride height to help reduce aerodynamic drag, which can help enhance efficiency. Driver-selectable heights can reduce entry/exit heights when the vehicle is parked and the driver can also raise the body for additional ground clearance when driving off-road.

With Magnetic Ride Control, which is standard on Premier and High Country and available on RST and Z71, sensors continually “read” the road 1,000 times a second to alter the damping rate of the shocks almost instantly. It is one of the fastest-reacting damping systems in the industry and helps reduce pitch, body roll and vibrations that can resonate in a large SUV.

Tow with confidence

Towing is important for Tahoe and Suburban customers. Whether it’s a driver’s first time towing or they are a seasoned driver who tows frequently, Chevrolet’s suite of trailering technology upgrades boost confidence behind the wheel.

Tahoe and Suburban will continue to include the trailering technologies customers know and love. A Max Trailering packageis available and on select trims includes a high-capacity radiator and cooling fan, an integrated trailer brake controller, Hitch Views, Hill Decent Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, and the Chevrolet Trailering App. Tahoe and Suburban will also introduce the following new and enhanced features:

Trailer Tire Health, which helps prevent trailer tire blowouts with a trailer tire life monitor and over-speed warning
Mobile Trailering App Load Rating Info, which offers anytime/anywhere access to the vehicle’s load rating
Forward Path Indication, which helps drivers navigate with their trailer with guidelines on the Surround View to indicate the width of the trailer and the trailer’s path. When the turn signal is activated, guidelines will show the driver the estimated turning path for both the vehicle and trailer
Boat Ramp Assist, which helps customers access a checklist and step-by-step instructions to prepare for towing, launching, and retrieving a boat, is newly available within the trailering app
Trailer Navigation, which calculates routes based on trailer size using built-in Google Maps

The 2025 Tahoe continues to offer max towing range of 8,400 lbs⁶ and Suburban offers 8,200 lbs.

Enhanced safety and technology

When it comes to safety and driver awareness technology, the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban are expected to offer more than ever — including a new sensor that can detect certain types of motion in the vehicle, which can help identify if a passenger has been left in rear passenger areas of the vehicle.

“We want to help families by introducing a feature that may help them remember their precious cargo in the back seats,” explains Tricia Morrow, head of Global Safety Technology Strategy at GM. “This feature is a testament to GM’s commitment to developing innovative safety technology.”

Interior Motion Detection is new to GM and may detect certain types of micro-movements in the cabin. If movement is detected in the vehicle after it is in park and turned off, it can progressively escalate alerts to help raise awareness.

Connected Cameras, a newly available feature, comprises a fully integrated network of cameras that allow customers to remotely view the interior and exterior of their vehicle, including 360 degree views of the exterior. Key benefits include automatic Crash Recording; Security Recording; Live View; My Recordings (dash cam functionality); industry-first cloud storage and more. Camera views and recordings are accessible via the myChevrolet mobile app. Some features require an appropriate OnStar plan.

Tahoe and Suburban will continue to offer standard Chevy Safety Assist — a suite of safety features and driver assistance technologies that include: Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, and IntelliBeam. Additional standard safety features include Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, HD Surround Vision, Teen Driver and Buckle to Drive.

Additional safety and driver convenience technology highlights include:

Super Cruise: The industry’s first true hands-free driving driver assistance technology will be available in 2025 after initial launch. Super Cruise is available on more than 400,000 miles of roads in the U.S. and Canada.
AutoSense Power Liftgate: This feature makes loading a Tahoe or Suburban easier when the user’s arms are full by automatically opening the liftgate when it senses the key fob behind the vehicle.

The 2025 Tahoe and Suburban are connected by OnStar to elevate the in-vehicle experience with a variety of available safety, entertainment and convenience features, including Super Cruise functionality, 24/7 access to live OnStar advisors, on-demand vehicle diagnostics, HD streaming, and more.

Built exclusively by GM’s Arlington Assembly Team

Production will take place at GM’s Arlington Assembly plant, in Texas— a facility celebrating 70 years of production in 2024. Announced earlier this year, GM is investing more than $500 million in the Texas facility to strengthen its industry-leading full-size SUV business. Through this more than half-a-billion-dollar investment, Arlington Assembly will receive new tooling and equipment in its stamping, body shop and general assembly areas. GM has announced nearly $2 billion in investments for Arlington Assembly since 2013.

The all-new 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban go on sale late next year. Additional details, including pricing, will be announced closer to the start of production. More information is available at www.chevrolet.com.

Chevrolet, Nike and Devin Booker Celebrate Classic Chevy Culture With New Impala-Inspired Book 2 Sneakers

TL;DR Chevrolet, Nike and NBA All-Star Devin Booker have teamed up for the new Nike Book 2 sneaker collection, inspired by Booker's personal collection of classic Chevrolet Impalas. The first sneaker, “ Pretty Penny,” pays tribute to Booker's 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible, the vehicle that sparked his passion for vintage cars. The four-sneaker collection combines classic Chevrolet design, automotive history, basketball culture and sneaker culture. Each sneaker is inspired by a different Impala from Booker's collection, including model years 1958, 1959, 1962 and 1963. The collection also features a “Heartbeat of America” T-shirt and custom packaging inspired by vintage Chevrolet Accessories packaging. “Pretty Penny” had an early Detroit release during the 2026 Woodward Dream Cruise and launched globally on August 26, 2026. The remaining three Book 2 sneakers are scheduled to arrive in December 2026. A Classic Chevrolet Impala Inspires Devin Booker's New Nike Sneakers Classic Chevrolet vehicles have long been part of American automotive culture, and now one of Chevy's most recognizable nameplates is inspiring a new generation of enthusiasts. Chevrolet, Nike and NBA star Devin Booker have partnered on the Nike Book 2 collection, a series of four sneakers inspired by Booker's personal collection of vintage Chevrolet Impalas. The collaboration brings together three distinct worlds— Chevrolet's classic-car heritage, Nike basketball footwear and Devin Booker's passion for vintage automobiles. For Booker, the connection is personal. His collection of classic Chevrolets, known as “The Library,” includes several vintage Impalas that have become an important part of his identity outside of basketball. “I’ve been a lifelong Chevy fan and I truly love adding classic cars to my garage, The Library,” Booker said. The 1959 Chevrolet Impala Behind “Pretty Penny” The first sneaker in the Book 2 collection is called “ Pretty Penny,” taking its inspiration from Booker's 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible. The car is particularly meaningful because it helped ignite Booker's interest in classic automobiles. Its distinctive vintage styling and color combination served as the foundation for the first Book 2 design. The sneaker incorporates visual cues from the Impala rather than simply placing a Chevrolet logo on a basketball shoe. Details include a color palette inspired by the vehicle and a tongue-top design that echoes the car's hood ornament. The approach continues throughout the Book 2 collection, with each sneaker drawing inspiration from a specific Impala in Booker's collection. Four Sneakers Inspired by Four Classic Impalas The complete Book 2 collection celebrates four different Chevrolet Impalas, with designs connected to the vehicles' respective model years: 1958 Chevrolet Impala 1959 Chevrolet Impala 1962 Chevrolet Impala 1963 Chevrolet Impala The result is a collection that treats the cars as more than inspiration for colors. Their individual characteristics are translated into details throughout the sneakers, creating a connection between classic-car design and modern sneaker culture. For Chevrolet enthusiasts, the collection offers a different way to appreciate the styling and personality of some of the brand's most memorable classic vehicles. From Chevy Blazers to Chevy Impalas The Book 2 collaboration builds on a partnership that began with the Nike Book 1 collection. Released in 2025, the Book 1 collection was inspired by Booker's collection of classic Chevrolet Blazers and sold out. The move from Blazers to Impalas reflects the breadth of Booker's Chevrolet collection while continuing a theme that connects his personal automotive interests with his career as a professional basketball player. It also demonstrates how classic Chevrolet vehicles can influence modern design well beyond the automotive world. A “Heartbeat of America” Tribute The Book 2 collection extends beyond the sneakers themselves. Fans can also find a “Heartbeat of America” T-shirt, drawing inspiration from Chevrolet's iconic advertising campaign and anthem from the 1980s and 1990s. The collection's packaging is similarly rooted in Chevrolet history. The custom shoe box takes inspiration from mid-century Chevrolet Accessories packaging, reimagining its kraft-paper construction, bold graphics and oversized lettering for a modern sneaker release. Together, these elements create a collection designed to feel like a celebration of Chevrolet historyt. “Pretty Penny” Arrives During the Woodward Dream Cruise The first Book 2 sneaker made its early debut in Detroit on August 15, 2026, during the Woodward Dream Cruise. The event is one of the world's best-known celebrations of classic-car culture, bringing thousands of vintage vehicles and automotive enthusiasts to Metro Detroit. Booker's “Pretty Penny” was among approximately 40,000 vintage cars participating in the event along the historic 16-mile stretch of Woodward Avenue. The Detroit release was particularly fitting given Booker's Michigan roots and the deep connection between the region and American automotive history. The “Pretty Penny” sneaker then received its global release on August 26, 2026. The remaining three Book 2 designs are scheduled to become available in December 2026. A Collaboration Connecting Cars, Basketball and Culture The Chevrolet and Nike collaboration illustrates how automotive heritage continues to influence popular culture. Classic cars have traditionally inspired everything from clothing and artwork to music and film. The Book 2 collection takes that relationship into the world of modern basketball footwear, using Devin Booker's own vehicles as the creative bridge. For Chevrolet, the partnership also reinforces the emotional side of the brand. Millions of drivers recognize classic Chevy vehicles not only for their mechanical heritage but also for their distinctive designs and the memories associated with them. Having a high-profile athlete like Booker incorporate those vehicles into his personal collection—and then into a modern sneaker collection—introduces that heritage to an entirely new audience. As Chevrolet Global Vice President Scott Bell noted, Booker's genuine enthusiasm for the brand demonstrates how strongly classic Chevrolet vehicles continue to resonate with enthusiasts. What the Book 2 Collection Means for Chevrolet Fans The Nike Book 2 collection is ultimately about more than sneakers. It showcases how Chevrolet Impala history can influence contemporary design, while giving fans another way to connect with the vehicles that helped establish Chevy as an iconic American automotive brand. For longtime Chevrolet enthusiasts, the collection offers a modern interpretation of classic Impala styling. For basketball and sneaker fans, it provides a glimpse into Booker's passion for classic cars. And for younger automotive enthusiasts discovering the Impala for the first time, the collaboration offers an unexpected introduction to Chevrolet's rich history. Frequently Asked Questions What is the Nike Book 2 collection? The Nike Book 2 collection is a four-sneaker collaboration between Nike, Chevrolet and Devin Booker. Each sneaker is inspired by a vintage Chevrolet Impala from Booker's personal collection. Which Chevrolet inspired the “Pretty Penny” Nike Book 2 sneaker? “Pretty Penny” is inspired by Devin Booker's 1959 Chevrolet Impala convertible, the classic car that helped spark his passion for vintage Chevrolets. Which Impala model years inspired the Book 2 sneakers? The four sneakers draw inspiration from 1958, 1959, 1962 and 1963 Chevrolet Impalas. When was the Nike Book 2 “Pretty Penny” released? “Pretty Penny” received an early release in Detroit on August 15, 2026, during the Woodward Dream Cruise, followed by a global release on August 26, 2026. When will the other Nike Book 2 sneakers be released? The remaining three sneakers in the Book 2 collection are scheduled to become available in December 2026. What else is included in the Devin Booker and Chevrolet collection? In addition to the sneakers, the collection includes a “Heartbeat of America” T-shirt inspired by Chevrolet's iconic 1980s and 1990s campaign, along with custom packaging inspired by vintage Chevrolet Accessories designs. Was there a Nike Devin Booker Chevy collaboration before Book 2? Yes. The Book 1 collection, released in 2025, was inspired by Devin Booker's collection of classic Chevrolet Blazers. The collection sold out. Why did Chevrolet partner with Devin Booker? Booker is a longtime Chevrolet enthusiast and collector of classic vehicles. The partnership allows Chevrolet to connect its classic-car heritage with basketball, fashion, sneaker culture and a new generation of automotive enthusiasts. What is the Woodward Dream Cruise? The Woodward Dream Cruise is a major annual classic-car event in Metro Detroit. In 2026, approximately 40,000 vintage vehicles participated in the event along historic Woodward Avenue.

Chevrolet Stars & Steel collection: Meet the designer behind the special-edition vehicles celebrating America's 250th anniversary

For the 2026 model year, Chevrolet is offering the Stars & Steel Collection, a curated lineup of vehicles that celebrates American craftsmanship. The collection spans the Corvette, Colorado, Silverado 1500, Silverado HD, and Silverado EV — all of which are proudly assembled in the United States 2 — with unique design elements and select exclusive upgrades. Adam Barry, senior creative exterior designer for the General Motors Performance Studio, is the designer behind the collection. He sat down with GM News to explain the thoughts behind the design process and highlight the unique features these special editions include. What makes the Stars & Steel editions different? Chevrolet Colorado Stars & Steel Edition Each Stars & Steel model features curated exterior and interior color combinations and graphics inspired by the American flag. The challenge, Barry said, was finding the perfect balance, conveying American craftsmanship and performance without going overboard. "To visually communicate American technology, horsepower, and restraint, while not slathering on too much red, white, and blue,” is how Barry described his goal. Making this work across five very different vehicles was no small task. “This motif had to work on so many vehicles and so many different body panels,” he said. For example, the Silverado HD’s hood is wildly different from the Corvette’s; the Colorado's front fenders would never fit a Silverado EV. “That was a challenge,” Barry added. “It took a lot of time to find the balance, to figure out how to make them all fit together … and it took a design that was very bold and very simple to carry through all that.” The flag-inspired stripes and the 250th logo appear across the entire Stars & Steel model lineup. The stripes have a tone-on-tone look: on a black vehicle, the stripes are dark gray; on a white vehicle, a slightly darker hue is used. The colors, as Barry put it, "are just different values of each other." In addition to flag-themed graphics, Stars & Steel Chevrolets feature standard black wheels. The Corvette, Silverado EV, and Silverado 1500 get red brake calipers, the Colorado gets red tow hooks, and the Silverado HD boasts upgraded towing capability. Can you find the Easter eggs? 2026 Corvette Z06 Stars & Steel Special Edition in Arctic White. The GM design team hid a few surprises in the Stars & Steel design theme. Barry’s favorite is featured on the Corvette. A stylized American flag incorporates the phrase "1776 to 2026" in the bottom line, an element Barry described as "complicated to execute, but something that I knew was possible." He designed it to be somewhat hidden. Most owners might not spot it until they’re up close washing their car. The right designer for the job Barry may have been the perfect designer for the Stars & Steel project. He was born in Cherry Hill and raised in Marlton, New Jersey, both suburbs within a 13-mile radius of Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4 th, 1776, the official founding of the United States of America. Thirteen miles, just like the original 13 colonies. That’s not the only coincidence. “As a kid, my school would take field trips to this historic section of Philly to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall and walk the cobblestone streets,” Barry said. Right outside Independence Hall is a statue of Commodore Barry, an American naval officer during the Revolutionary War, widely considered the father of the American Navy. Naturally, Adam Barry’s classmates couldn’t resist calling him “Commodore” after seeing the statue. Among the GM Design team, Barry played a strong role in the Stars & Steel special editions, though he's reluctant to take too much credit. He was quick to acknowledge the teamwork among designers, engineers, and marketing colleagues within GM. "It turned out to be a great opportunity that really affected the entire plan for Chevrolet for the year,” he added. Bold looks, plenty of options: Chevrolet Corvette 2026 Corvette ZR1X Stars & Steel Special Edition in Black The Stars & Steel Limited Edition is available on all Corvette models, from the entry-level Stingray to the ZR1X. Buyers can choose between Arctic White paint with Satin Silver stripes and a Santorini Blue interior, or a black exterior with Satin Black stripes and Adrenaline Red interior. Other Stars & Steel Corvette enhancements include special sill plates, an interior plaque showing the build sequence number, and available red accents on the brake calipers, seatbelts, and floor mats.

From the Corvette to the Silverado HD, the Stars & Steel Collection celebrates America’s 250 th birthday. Far bigger than the vehicles themselves, though, is the mission behind this special edition. With every Stars & Steel vehicle sold, Chevrolet will donate $250 to nonprofits that support America’s veterans. The initiative launched in January 2026 at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, where a Stars & Steel-inspired 2026 Corvette ZR1X — a one-of-one car — sold for $2.6 million. Every dollar went to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a nonprofit that provides mortgage-free homes to families of fallen first responders and military service members, and builds smart homes for injured veterans and first responders.
