The full-size SUV class is rife with luxurious options that aim to keep your families both safe and comfortable, riding in style while still being game for the hardest jobs you can throw their way. Two of the standouts in this class are the new 2025 Wagoneer from Jeep and the Tahoe from Chevy.
Both models are set to receive updates for 2025, but which one provides the best all-around package? In today’s comparison, we’ll be comparing the 2025 Chevy Tahoe vs Jeep Wagoneer, looking at towing capacity, performance updates, and interior tweaks to give you the full picture of what to expect from each model.
Key Takeaways:
- The Wagoneer adds on some assist tweaks, as well as new power folding mirrors.
- The Tahoe gets some subtle exterior as well as interior updates.
- The two have a comparable starting price for this year.
How much is a 2025 Jeep Wagoneer?
2025 is the fourth year of production for the Jeep Wagoneer, and Car and Driver reports that you can expect it to see some minor changes for the new year. Kicking off the anticipated changes, Jeep has now made power-folding mirrors available, a feature previously relegated to the Grand trims. 20-inch wheels are now standard across the lineup, with the previous 18-inch wheels being axed entirely.
Additionally, lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise are now standard across the board. The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer starts at an MSRP of $59,945 for the base Series I trim, with the trim topping Series III model starting at $75,945. The full list of trims reads as:
- Series I - $59,945
- Series II - $65,945
- Series II Carbide - $68,640
- Series III - $75,945
Car and Driver recommends starting with the Series II trim. They feel that Jeep’s cabin tweaks, which include all-new Nappa leather upholstery in the interior, and additional chrome trim on the exterior, make for an attractive model that looks as good on the outside as it feels on the inside.
They also feel that speccing into the optional Premium Group package is worth the extra charge, as it adds on some lovely 22-inch wheels, which are complemented by a three-pane panoramic sunroof, roof-rail crossbars, and a privacy shade for the cargo area.
How much will the 2025 Chevy Tahoe cost?
For 2025, Edmunds reports that Chevy has refreshed the Tahoe with some subtle exterior updates, as well as a redesigned dashboard, and some additional features. Subtle changes in the exterior styling set the stage for a more pronounced revamp on the interior, which excels at giving the cabin a high-tech feel. Things have been shifted around for better convenience, with one significant improvement being the relocation of the push-button shifter from the dashboard to the steering column, which frees up space for a mammoth 17.7-inch touchscreen, which runs on a Google Android-based platform and even includes support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Under the hood, the optional 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six gets a much appreciated boost in power, now being rated for 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, up from the 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft figures from last year. For interested buyers, it’ll be available starting from the Z71 trim. Additionally, a 360-degree camera and adaptive cruise control are now standard on all models.
Is the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer Better than the 2025 Chevy Tahoe?
Of the two, we have to give our nod to the Wagoneer. It brings that classic combination of Jeep luxury and offroading capability that puts it ahead of the new Tahoe, with its roomy interior, advanced assist technology (which has only gotten better in the new year), and standard all wheel drive being the standout features we think makes it the winner in this head to head comparison.
