The 2021 Chevrolet Suburban: 86 Years Young, Tan, Rested, and Reinvigorated

What's new:

Chevrolet’s stalwart people mover gets a ground-up redesign on an all-new chassis, its first independent suspension, a spacious interior jammed with technology, a competent new trailering package, and a new optional Duramax turbo-diesel engine.

What's hot:
  • Long-awaited independent rear suspension enhances both road manners and cargo capacity.
  • Five serious Drive Modes from Mud to Sport give you confidence on varying surfaces.
  • Up to nine camera views to help you back up like a boss.


What's not:
  • It’s so big that even pulling the hood closed, or hauling yourself up and in, can be difficult.
  • Pricing becomes stratospheric pretty easily, even in the absence of true luxury.
  • Electronic shifter uses large buttons in a vertical stack to choose gears. Some push, some pull. You’ll catch on. Eventually.

Our family knows Suburbans. We’ve owned three in the span of eighteen years. We bought our first in 2002, removed the second-row bench, and filled the space with dog kennels for the pack. A friend bought our 2004, and it’s still on the road sixteen years later. The local mechanic worked on our 2007 long enough to know what he was buying when it came time for us to sell that one. That’s Suburban confidence.

I have missed them so. But ours were simple workhorses, not show ponies. The 2021 Suburban that showed up in my driveway proved to be both.
