2025 Lexus TX vs 2026 Chevrolet Suburban

$55,140 · Crossover

$63,400 · SUV

Comparison Overview

The 2025 Lexus TX greets the segment with sophisticated polish, offering a near-luxury experience focused on efficiency, while the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban arrives as the brute force incumbent, demanding respect with its imposing stature. The Lexus pampers drivers with a required premium unleaded fuel but rewards them with a respectable 23 MPG combined, perfectly acceptable for a large crossover. Conversely, the Suburban screams raw capability, leveraging 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque from its RWD platform to dominate hauling duties. However, that power comes at a cost, netting only 17 MPG combined and demanding regular unleaded. Size matters significantly: the Suburban stretches 226.3 inches long, offering a cavernous 41.5 cu ft of cargo space, dwarfing the TX's 20.2 cu ft, all while maintaining an $8,260 initial price advantage for the Lexus.
