ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban?
The 2025 Chevrolet Suburban marks a meaningful step forward in the NHTSA Safety Index, climbing to 83/100 in the Strong band from the 2024 model's 77/100 Average rating, a 6-point gain driven primarily by crash-protection performance. The crash-protection sub-score of 62 out of 70 anchors that improvement, reflecting the NHTSA five-star overall, frontal, and side results. The defect record sub-score of 19 out of 20 is equally noteworthy, reflecting just one recall campaign and no reported injuries or deaths across 27 filed complaints. The avoidance-tech sub-score of 2 out of 10 is the clear drag on the Index, signaling that while forward collision warning and lane departure warning are available, their scoring contribution is limited. The single recall targets the wheels and hub assembly across a broad GM platform, meaning remedy completion is worth verifying by VIN. The 3-star rollover rating and 22 percent rollover risk are consistent factors for a large body-on-frame SUV and should inform how buyers weigh this vehicle's safety profile.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban perform in crash tests?
The 2025 Chevrolet Suburban achieved a 5 out of 5 stars overall safety rating from NHTSA, reflecting its strong performance in impact protection. Both frontal and side crash tests resulted in 5-star ratings. However, the Suburban's rollover performance presents a notable area for consideration, earning 3 out of 5 stars with a 22.0 percent rollover risk. Despite this, dynamic tip testing indicated no tip.
