But what's the difference between these 3-row SUVs? That's what the Serra Chevrolet Clarksville team is here to help you figure out.

Read on to learn about the core differences between the Escalade vs. Suburban vs. Tahoe, then make your way to our Chevy dealership near Springfield to take a test-drive and find your favorite model!

Is a Suburban Bigger than a Tahoe?

Yes -- while the 2025 Chevy Suburban and new Tahoe models are both 3-row SUVs, the Suburban is the larger to the two. This is because the Suburban rides on a longer wheelbase, which allows it to offer a greater cargo area behind the third row. So, if you plan on taking frequent road trips with the whole family, the Chevrolet Suburban may be the right fit for you. If you prefer a shorter, nimbler vehicle, buy a 2025 Tahoe in Clarksville.

What Is the Cadillac Equivalent to the Suburban?

Those seeking the spaciousness of the Suburban with added luxury on top will love the 2025 Cadillac Escalade ESV. While the traditional Escalade model is more comparable in size to the Tahoe, the new Escalade ESV offers an extended cargo area that makes it nearly as big as the Suburban!

Do the Suburban, Tahoe & Escalade Have the Same Engine?

The 2025 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and Cadillac Escalade have overlapping engine options. The Tahoe and Suburban both offer two V8 engines with the same horsepower and torque, so you'll enjoy the same exceptional performance on both vehicles. Meanwhile, the standard 2025 Escalade engine is a 6.2-liter V8 -- the same engine that's optional on the Chevy SUVs. You can also buy an Escalade near Springfield that offers an available supercharged V8 engine that offers even greater performance -- up to 682 horsepower!
