What’s the Best Chevrolet SUV for Driving Around Oklahoma City?

With accident rates above the national average, driving in Oklahoma City requires vehicles equipped with top safety and performance features. The 2025 Chevy SUVs excel in these aspects, combining various powertrain options with class-leading active and passive safety systems and advanced technologies. In this guide, our Eskridge Chevrolet team explores these models to help you decide on the ideal Chevrolet SUV for your Oklahoma City commute.

2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer: Balanced Performance

With a head-turning exterior design, the 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a subcompact crossover that comfortably seats five. The two powertrain options include a standard turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that generates 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, and a turbocharged 1.3-liter engine producing 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque.

The smaller engine has a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while the more powerful engine sends power to the wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission and available all-wheel drive. The 1.2-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, and the larger engine with front-wheel drive achieves 29 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

The Trailblazer offers impressive head and legroom for front and rear passengers, with higher trim levels featuring premium upholstery. An 11-inch touch screen dominates the center of the instrument panel, and the driver gets an 8-inch digital gauge cluster. Standard equipment includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a six-speaker stereo setup. Cargo volume is 25 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 54 cubic feet behind the front seats.

2025 Chevrolet Equinox: The Complete Package

The Chevrolet Equinox received a redesign for the 2025 model year, resulting in a stylish exterior and upscale interior. It features two displays: an 11.3-inch infotainment touch screen that runs Google-based software and an 11-inch digital gauge cluster.

The Equinox has a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 175 horsepower via a CVT in front-wheel-drive models and an eight-speed automatic transmission in all-wheel-drive trims. The front-wheel-drive model gets you an EPA-estimated 26 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, while all-wheel-drive models achieve 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

The 2025 Equinox sports a modern and attractive cabin, standard cloth upholstery, and plenty of space. There’s wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a Wi-Fi hotspot for using apps and playing music on the go. Cargo volume is 30 cubic feet behind the second-row seats and 64 cubic feet with the seats folded.

2025 Chevrolet Blazer: Sport and Utility Combined

The Camaro-styled Chevrolet Blazer has room for five people, offers a spectacular exterior design, and has an easy-to-use infotainment system. This stylish midsize SUV features a base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 228 horsepower and an optional 3.6-liter V-6 that delivers 308 horsepower. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard on all models.

Towing capacity is 1,500 pounds with the four-cylinder, but upgrading to the V-6 engine increases maximum pulling capacity to 4,500 pounds with the trailering equipment package. Fuel economy in the four-cylinder with front-wheel drive is 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, but the V-6 gets 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.

The Blazer has a spirit-lifting interior, with a two-tone color scheme and plenty of soft-touch surfaces. Higher trim levels feature leather and upscale materials. Seating is comfortable, with the front seats providing heating and ventilation, while rear passengers get heating. Cargo volume is 31 cubic feet with all seats up and 64 cubic feet with the seats folded.

Connectivity and entertainment are intuitive thanks to a 10.2-inch touch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. There’s also a wireless charging pad, a pair of USB ports, and a 120-volt outlet on select trims. Optional equipment includes built-in navigation, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

2025 Chevrolet Tahoe: Premium Full-Size Performance

With seating for up to eight passengers in three rows, a large luggage area, and three potent engine options, the Chevrolet Tahoe is an ideal full-size SUV for transporting people and their luggage.

The Tahoe comes with either a 5.3-liter V-8 generating 355 horsepower or a 6.2-liter V-8 producing 420 horsepower. Both come with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear- or all-wheel drive. An optional 3.0-liter inline-six diesel engine produces 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque and uses the same 10-speed auto transmission.

The diesel engine model has a towing capacity of 8,200 pounds, 6.2-liter V-8 models can pull up to 8,300 pounds, while rear-wheel-drive trims with the 5.3-liter V-8 have the highest towing capacity of 8,400 pounds.

The range-topping High Country trim features perforated leather upholstery and genuine wood trim. A 17.7-inch infotainment touch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto dominates the dashboard. Standard features include a wireless smartphone charging pad, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and an 11-inch digital gauge display.

Optional equipment includes a rear-seat entertainment system and a Bose audio system. Cargo volume is 26 cubic feet behind the rear seats, 73 cubic feet behind the middle row, and 122.7 cubic feet with all seats folded.

2025 Chevrolet Suburban: Maximum Space and Luxury

The Suburban is perfect if you need maximum space — its large cabin can comfortably seat up to nine people. It has the same engine options, infotainment, and connectivity features as the Tahoe but offers more passenger and cargo space. The cargo area has 42 cubic feet behind the rear seats, 94 cubic feet behind the middle row, and 145 cubic feet with all seats folded down.
