PERFORMANCE
You need a full-size SUV you can count on, and the Chevrolet Suburban delivers it with unmistakable strength. Backed by Chevy’s legacy of proven engineering, this powerhouse blends rugged capability with smooth, confident motion. Whether you’re hauling the family camper or cruising wide-open highways, the Suburban keeps every drive steady, spirited, and ready for whatever’s next.
Power Performer
The heart of any good vehicle is its engine. Having the power to take on whatever life throws at you is essential, especially when the path ahead is full of twists and turns. The Suburban goes above and beyond by offering three available motors, each with the strength you and your family need to take on new adventures every day.
Engine | Horsepower | Torque |
---|---|---|
5.3L EcoTec3 V8 (Standard) | 355 HP | 383 lb-ft |
6.2L EcoTec3 V8 | 420 HP | 460 lb-ft |
3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel | 305 HP | 495 lb-ft |
Power is only part of the story; it’s what you do with it that counts. With the Chevy Suburban, that means bringing your toys, tools, and memories along for the ride. When properly equipped with the Max Trailering Package, it can tow up to 8,200 pounds with confidence. Available features like Hitch View, Smart Trailer Integration Indicator, and an integrated trailer brake controller make towing simpler, safer, and more secure.
Confident Capability
Once your Suburban's full potential is unleashed, it requires the right systems to maximize its capabilities. The standard 10-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth, responsive shifts for refined performance, whether you're merging onto the highway, towing the family boat, or climbing mountain passes with ease. Every move feels composed, capable, and ready for the long haul.
Speaking of which, the Chevy Suburban keeps you moving forward thanks to its best-in-class available EPA-estimated 728 miles of highway range per tank. Your family sing-along or car game session, cross-state road trip playlist, or late-night snack run will roll on uninterrupted until you reach the mountains, the big game, or grandma’s for Sunday dinner.
When adventure calls beyond the pavement, the available 4WD system steps in to help you conquer trails, campsites, or muddy backroads with confidence. Add in the available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control, and the Suburban glides over bumps and ruts, keeping your ride steady, your passengers comfortable, and your weekend plans right on track.
INTERIOR
When you’re hitting the road with a big family or a full crew of friends, space and comfort matter just as much as your destination. The Suburban combines generous passenger room with a thoughtful design to keep everyone relaxed from the first mile to the last. Step inside, and you’ll find an interior built for togetherness, where every seat feels like the best seat in the house.
Sufficient Space
Finding room for eight passengers to travel comfortably is no small feat, but the Chevy Suburban makes it look effortless. Its expansive cabin stretches in every direction, giving everyone space to get comfortable and settle into their own corner of comfort.
Dimension | 1st Row | 2nd Row | 3rd Row |
---|---|---|---|
Headroom | 42.3 in. | 38.9 in. | 38.2 in. |
Legroom | 44.5 in. | 42 in. | 36.7 in. |
Shoulder Room | 65.6 in. | 64.6 in. | 62.8 in. |
Hip Room | 61.5 in. | 61.3 in. | 49.4 in. |
When you need to haul something big, the Suburban answers with ease. Simply fold down the rear seats to open up a best-in-class 144.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity, more than enough room for a weekend’s worth of luggage, a new piece of furniture, your latest big-box haul, or all the gear that comes along with family life.
And when your hands are full, the available AutoSense Power Liftgate lends a hand, opening automatically when you stand behind the Suburban with the key fob in your possession.
Comfortable Cabin
Spaciousness is just the start; every detail of the Suburban’s interior is designed to keep everyone comfortable on every drive. Up front, you can settle into your perfect position with the standard 8-way power driver seat adjuster (6-way for the front passenger), complete with power lumbar support. Standard cloth or available leather trims give you a plush seat to sink into, whether it’s a quick school run or a coast-to-coast road trip.
Standard tri-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone at their ideal temperature, from you and your copilot to the second-row passengers. Available heated and ventilated front seats ensure year-round comfort, while the available heated steering wheel and available second-row outboard seat heaters take the chill off early-morning drives.
TECHNOLOGY
In addition to its strength and space, the Chevy Suburban brings a suite of smart technologies to make every drive easier, safer, and more enjoyable. From keeping your passengers entertained on long stretches of highway to helping you navigate unpredictable road conditions with confidence, the Suburban meets your needs and wants.
Innovative Infotainment
Staying connected is more than a convenience—it’s a must. The Chevy Suburban’s intuitive infotainment options put control at your fingertips. The standard 11-inch digital Driver Information Center and best-in-class 17.7-inch touchscreen provide easy access to wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Meanwhile, the standard Wi-Fi® Hotspot, multiple USB ports throughout the cabin, and available wireless phone charging keep everyone plugged in and happy.
Looking to turn the Suburban into a mobile party? The available Bose® CenterPoint® Surround 10-speaker audio system delivers rich, studio-quality sound to every seat, perfect for streaming your favorite road-trip playlist or leading the family in some spirited car-aoke.
For back-row passengers, the optional Rear Seat Media System features dual 12.6-inch screens, keeping kids and teens engaged and eliminating the constant chorus of “Are we there yet?”
Stellar Safety
Driver-assistive technologies are required for modern drivers. These advanced systems use sensors and intelligent computing to act as your virtual copilot and alert you to potential hazards. Thanks to these systems, you’ll have peace of mind on every drive.
For the latest model year, the Chevrolet Suburban equips more standard safety features than ever before, including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- HD Surround Vision
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Blind Zone Steering Assist
- Rear Cross Traffic Braking
- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
You’ll feel like a parking pro thanks to the standard Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist which can automatically park or unpark your Suburban in suitable parallel or perpendicular spaces. The SUV handles the steering, braking, and gear shifts, leaving you free to take the credit.
Chevrolet Suburban vs. The Competition
The Chevy Suburban outshines the Ford Expedition with its spacious cabin, best-in-class cargo capacity, and optional Duramax® Turbo Diesel engine, offering impressive power and efficiency.
