Chevy Suburban Review

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.

Now that your Suburban is equipped with intense strength, it needs supporting systems to harness that power and use it to its full potential. The standard 10-speed automatic transmission offers smooth acceleration and dynamic performance that allows you to tackle uphill climbs, highway merging, and extensive towing with ease.

If you anticipate taking your adventures off the asphalt, the available 4WD system is ready to provide the traction you need to conquer dirt and mud on your way to your favorite campsite. Available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control™ will further ensure total control and exceptional handling regardless of road—or off-road—conditions.

Having enough room for eight passengers to travel comfortably is often easier said than done. Thankfully, the Chevrolet Suburban rises to the occasion with its massive interior. It stretches in all directions to give you and your passengers plenty of space to call your own.

If you have extra-large items to bring home, you can easily fold down the rear seats for more cargo room. With its best-in-class 144.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity, you can fit furniture purchases and plenty of grocery bags, luggage, or all the gear you need for a camping trip or tailgate party. To access the cargo hold even when your hands are full, use the available AutoSense Power Liftgate that activates when you stand behind the Suburban with the key fob on your person.

Its spacious and newly refreshed interior is just the beginning of what makes the Suburban a comfortable drive for everyone. Up front, you can find your ideal position with the available 12-way power-adjustable seats for both driver and copilot. Standard cloth and available leather trims give you a lush seat to sink into.

The standard tri-zone automatic climate control system makes extended travel even more comfortable, especially in extreme weather. You and your copilot, as well as your second-row riders, can set your preferred temperatures. For chilly morning drives, heating is also available for the front and rear outboard seats.

Staying connected is a necessity in today’s age. Thanks to the intuitive infotainment options in the Suburban, you’ll have plenty of ways to stay in command of all kinds of features. The standard 11-inch digital Driver Information Center and best-in-class 17.7-inch touchscreen keep you in the know and provide easy access to wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities. Meanwhile, the included 8-year OnStar One Essentials subscription amps up the convenience regardless of where you travel.

Do you want to turn your cabin into a fun party space? The available Bose® 10-speaker premium audio system provides studio-quality sound to every drive. You can stream your favorite playlist and have your gang participate in some spirited car-aoke. To further engage your back-row riders, choose the optional rear-seat entertainment system to eliminate the constant chorus of “Are we there yet?”

Driver-assistive technologies are requirements 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
• Enhanced Lane Keep Assist/Lane Departure Warning
• Blind Zone Steering Assist
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking
• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
