The Wagoneer leans into comfort and low-key luxury, even at the base (Series I) trim. You get tri-zone climate control and power-adjustable leather-trimmed front seats right out of the gate. There’s space for eight adults (or seven, if you go for second-row captain’s chairs), and everyone gets enough room to stretch out, no matter where they’re sitting.
Cargo space is generous, too. The standard Wagoneer gives you:
- 116.7 cubic feet max
- 70.8 cu. ft. behind the second row
- 27.4 cu. ft. behind the third row
Need more room? The Wagoneer L stretches things further with:
- 130.9 cubic feet max
- 85.3 behind the second row
- 42.1 behind the third row
The Chevy Suburban is no slouch in the space department, either. It seats up to nine and has a flat-folding second and third row for easy packing. With 144.7 cubic feet of cargo space and plenty of built-in storage and USB ports, it’s road-trip-ready from day one.
The 2025 Wagoneer sticks with one engine—but it’s a strong one. A twin-turbo 3.0L inline-six delivers 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque, giving this big SUV plenty of muscle for everyday driving or towing. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, but you can opt for four-wheel drive if you want a little more confidence in rough weather or on weekend getaways.
The Chevy Suburban gives you a bit more choice under the hood. You can stick with the standard 355-hp 5.3L V8, upgrade to a 420-hp 6.2L V8, or go with the fuel-efficient 3.0L diesel that delivers 305 horsepower. All three engines mate with a 10-speed automatic, and you can choose rear- or all-wheel drive. Add in optional air suspension and adaptive dampers, and you’ve got a full-size SUV that’s ready to adjust to just about anything.
Still, it is no match for the Wagoneer in terms of sheer power. It has a max towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. Rear-wheel-drive Suburbans with 355-hp 5.3-liter V-8 tow 8,300 pounds when properly equipped, and the numbers only go down from there.
