$61,500 · SUV

$62,425 · SUV

Comparison Overview

Deciding between the massive 2025 Chevrolet Suburban and the powerful 2025 Toyota Sequoia often comes down to size versus efficiency. If sheer space is your absolute top priority, the Suburban wins easily, boasting a massive 226.3 inches in length and offering a cavernous 41.5 cu ft of cargo space. However, if keeping trips to the gas station less frequent is key, the Sequoia pulls ahead significantly. The Sequoia achieves 22 combined MPG compared to the Suburban's 17 combined MPG, saving substantial money over the ownership period. Power seekers will notice the Sequoia packs a hefty 583 lb-ft of torque (82 hp more than the Suburban's 355 hp), making it feel quicker despite the efficiency edge. While the Suburban is slightly cheaper at an MSRP of $61,500 versus $62,425, that initial $925 saving might be quickly offset by the Sequoia’s superior fuel economy.
