A Brownian yet non-Gaussian phenomenon has recently been observed in many biological and active matter systems. The main idea of explaining this phenomenon is to introduce a random diffusivity for particles moving in inhomogeneous environment. This paper considers a Langevin system containing a random diffusivity and an α-stable subordinator with α<1. This model describes the particle's motion in complex media where both the long trapping events and random diffusivity exist. We derive the general expressions of ensemble- and time-averaged mean-squared displacements which only contain the values of the inverse subordinator and diffusivity. Further taking specific time-dependent diffusivity, we obtain the analytic expressions of ergodicity breaking parameter and probability density function of the time-averaged mean-squared displacement. The results imply the nonergodicity of the random diffusivity model with any kind of diffusivity, including the critical case where the model presents normal diffusion.
