Item: 2015 Chevrolet Suburban
Author: John Diether

Overview

Chevrolet's largest SUV has been thoroughly redesigned with emphasis on safety technology, interior refinement and fuel efficiency. As always, the Suburban caters to drivers who need space and capability on a grand scale.

What's New for 2015

On sale continuously since 1936, the Suburban is completely new this year.

Choosing Your Chevrolet Suburban

All Suburbans are powered by a 335-horsepower 5.3-liter V8, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The new engine delivers 18 mpg in combined city and highway driving, even on four-wheel drive models. The Suburban can haul up to 8,300 pounds, and a locking rear differential is now standard across the board to assist with towing tasks. Inside, the redesigned third row folds completely into the floor, and a front bench remains available in case you need nine-passenger seating.

There is no such thing as a modestly equipped Suburban. All models get features like remote start, tri-zone climate control, power front seats, automatic wipers, Bluetooth phone, and HD and satellite radio. The three trim levels differ mainly in interior appointments and the availability of select high-end features:

CarsDirect Tip

Although the LS is nicely equipped, upgrading to the LT is mandatory if you want leather seats and/or captain's chairs. The LTZ may induce some sticker shock -- it's more expensive than Lincoln's Navigator -- and comes too close in price to the Cadillac Escalade for our taste.
