Chevrolet SUV Models Up Close (2024/2025): Smallest to Biggest

The Chevrolet SUV model lineup undergoes a significant transformation with new EV variants and old nameplates fully redesigned.

This guide is continuously updated for relevancy, accuracy, and the most recent info.

Chevy’s SUV lineup is well known for the old-timers like Suburban and Tahoe. These giant haulers still exist (minus the gas-guzzling), but older nameplates like Blazer and Trax are unrecognizable in all the right ways. Plus, more EVs with familiar names. We’ll cover all the latest Chevy sport utilities, including the latest updates and changes:

Key features:

137 horsepower at 5,000 rpm & 162 lb.-ft. of torque

11-inches longer, and 2-inches wider than before

Trax RS gets the sportier flat-bottom steering wheel

With the departure of the Bolt EV and EUV, the Chevrolet Trax now holds the title of Chevrolet’s smallest SUV. Despite its presence since 2013, it has undergone facelifts and updates. This 2024 version marks the second generation, representing a significant transformation after a decade. The new Trax is a ground-up build, boasting a completely different appearance from its predecessor. It’s taller, 11 inches longer, and 2 inches wider, featuring a more aggressive Camaro-inspired design and a redesigned interior.

The standard powerplant is a 1.2L turbo 3-cylinder mated to a CVT transmission, with an optional 1.3L turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. Among the interior features, the Trax RS stands out with a sporty flat-bottom steering wheel adorned with a black Chevy emblem and red interior accents. The RS model also showcases various blacked-out elements, including 19-inch aluminum wheels, a black grille, badging, and black Chevy bowtie emblems on the front grille.

Going strong since 2005, the mid-size Equinox has grown over the past ten years.

The 2024 model comes in LS, LT, RS, and Premier trims, with an all-wheel drive drivetrain available; the 2025 Equinox adds larger screens, new safety features, and Equinox’s first-ever outdoor-inspired trim, ACTIV. Overall, Chevy has done a good job of adding more standards and features. The power liftgate is now standard on LT and RS; the hands-free version is standard on Premier. All models now find LED headlamps as well. Power comes from a single engine: the 1.5L turbo I4, good for 175 horsepower, paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Key features:

First SS Performance model for a Chevy EV

Estimated range of up to 320 miles on a full charge (non-SS)

Available in 4 different grade walks/trims

Back in 2019, Chevrolet brought the Blazer back from the dead — a muscular, Camaro-inspired mid-size SUV slotted between the Chevy’s small Equinox and larger Traverse. Now, the Blazer goes all electric, including a powerful SS model making nearly 560 horsepower, an equally sporty RS model with 320 miles of electric range, and the entry-level and well-equipped 1LT and 2LT trims.

GM claims a full charge of the SS will deliver up to 290 miles of drive range, and the EV will support 11.5 kW level 2 (AC) charging and DC fast-charging at up to 190 kW. Chevrolet did not reveal the mechanical specifications of the RS yet, but we know it shares some of its details with the SS, including the dual-part LED lights that display a uniquely composed lighting sequence when the Blazer arrives or leaves a scene. The LT trims share most of the features, including a monochromatic exterior, 19-inch wheels, and full LED lighting. They also carry the same infotainment system, instrument cluster, and charging capabilities as found in high-end trim levels.

The updated design sports bolder and more sculpted lines, aligning with the styling seen in Chevy’s other SUVs.

8,400 pounds towing capacity

Best-in-segment 17.7-inch-diagonal central touchscreen

Chevy’s full-size Tahoe flosses an abundance of brawn coupled with streamlined and stylish looks. In 2021, the big hauler was fully redesigned, adding the sportier & street-inspired RST version based on the Tahoe LT, gaining bigger 22-inch wheels and blacked-out features inside and out. In 2023, the Tahoe RST Performance Edition joined the lineup, and for 2025, the big hauler gains a refreshed exterior design featuring bolder signature lighting and innovative lighting animations, complemented by new available 24-inch wheels. The interior is revamped, showcasing a best-in-segment 17.7-inch-diagonal central touchscreen and an upgraded High Country interior, with additional refinements across the lineup. A new second-generation 3.0L turbo-diesel Duramax engine, offering 10 percent more horsepower than current models, is slated for later production. The 2025 Tahoe’s ride and handling enhancements are engineered for heightened driving refinement.

Key features:

GM brings back the turbocharged, 3L Duramax diesel engine

Z71 and High Country offer optional Four Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension

Up to 13 cameras available, including transparent trailer & picture-in-picture sideview

In terms of full-size, 8-passenger SUVs go, the once gas-guzzling Suburban is still going strong. But now, it’s a much more savvy machine, both inside and out, and under the hood. The full-size SUV segment has a new dimension with the arrival of diesel power for the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban as a complement to the standard 5.3 and 6.2L gas engines. The two body-on-frame models may now be specified with the same turbocharged, and previously introduced in the Silverado 1500, the new diesel engine boasts an impressive 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of peak torque. These figures mark a notable improvement of 10 percent in horsepower and 7.6 percent in torque compared to the current diesel engine’s ratings of 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.
