The Chevrolet Suburban has a smooth ride and simply massive cargo space, plus heaps of available technology. You can also choose from a trio of powerful engines. There is no getting around its size, however, and the price tag on higher trims can be off-putting.

Overview
There are times in life when big just isn't big enough. That's where the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban comes in. This long-running truck-based SUV is related to the already big Tahoe but is 15 inches longer and has 16 more cubic feet of cargo space behind its third row. Fold down both the second and third rows and you've got more than 140 cubes at your disposal, which is one of the biggest volumes found in a vehicle that doesn't classify as a van.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban Fleet 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 10A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.56 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.
The Suburban is now two years out from its latest redesign, which gave it a multilink rear suspension for the first time in the model's 86-year history. That change dramatically improved ride quality and handling confidence and enhanced third-row seat comfort as well. For 2023, the Suburban gains GM's Super Cruise technology as an option on the two highest trim levels. Under certain conditions, this feature allows for hands-free driving on designated highways. However, Chevy says Super Cruise's availability is delayed, and when it does become available, it will only be offered on the Suburban's top trims only.
Rivals to the Suburban are sparse. The main one you'll want to consider is the Ford Expedition Max because it's a near match for size and capability. There's also the GMC Yukon XL, which is the Suburban's slightly more upscale corporate twin. Slightly smaller (but still plenty big) rivals include the Tahoe, regular Expedition, Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia. Read our test team's Expert Rating below to find out how the Suburban measures up.
Edmunds Expert Rating

7.6/10
Edmunds Rating
Our VerdictThe Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.
The Chevrolet Suburban has a smooth ride and simply massive cargo space, plus heaps of available technology. You can also choose from a trio of powerful engines. There is no getting around its size, however, and the price tag on higher trims can be off-putting.
How does the Suburban drive? Our test Suburban came equipped with the optional 6.2-liter V8 engine. It has plenty of power and delivers it through a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. At our test track, the Suburban hustled from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. This is on par with the Expedition.
We're impressed by the Suburban's braking power and composure. In our testing it came to a stop from 60 mph in just 122 feet, which is exceptional for a large three-row SUV. This is still a hefty vehicle, however, especially when the road gets curvy. The Suburban is well balanced and can handle sharp turns, but the steering lacks feedback. It prefers to stay straight, which is helpful if you plan to tow.
Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Suburban? The Suburban's independent rear suspension more easily smooths out bumps in the road compared to older generations that had the solid rear-axle design. Our test vehicle also came with the optional Magnetic Ride Control and adaptive air suspension. They work well to create a buffer between the road and the cabin. At times the Suburban can feel a little busy and boat-like, but we're confident the Suburban is better-riding with these suspension upgrades than without.
Elsewhere, the Suburban can't overcome its truck-like nature. The leather front seats are soft and wide with available power lumbar adjustment, but overall comfort is lacking. Some of our drivers found them too flat and unsupportive. The climate control system seems overworked at most temps, and some buttons are small and difficult to press.
The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price excludes destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. Click here to see all Chevrolet vehicles' destination freight charges . Dealer sets the final price.
How’s the interior? The Suburban offers plenty of headroom and legroom in both the front and second rows, plus space to comfortably suit adults in the third row — if they don't mind the more rigid seats. All that space makes some controls difficult to reach, however, and the button layout in general can be quite confusing. It's a borderline mess.
Getting in and out is no problem. Step up through the huge door openings and there's easy access to all three rows. The driving position is high, a necessity in order to see over the massive hood. The seat and steering wheel are highly adjustable, but there's no getting around the thick roof pillars that create significant blind spots.
Technology
8.0/10
How’s the tech? The Suburban's touchscreen is impressively clear and responsive, but because the Suburban is so large and the screen is so wide, it's often difficult to reach. We do like that it has standard wireless Apple CarPlay, which worked quickly and effectively during our test, and wireless Android Auto. Most trims have a wireless charging pad, and the available 10-speaker Bose stereo system sounds great.
We're also impressed with the driver safety aids such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance, which are very helpful on such a large vehicle. The downside is the controls can be tricky to operate without some practice.
Storage
8.5/10
How’s the storage? Space is the Suburban's calling card. It has a truly cavernous rear cargo hold with 41.5 cubic feet of capacity behind the third row. Fold it down and you've got 93.8 cubic feet, which is more than what the Ford Expedition Max offers. This is one of the main reasons you get a Suburban. But in-cabin storage is a little disappointing for such a large vehicle. For example, the front cupholders are rather small and center console isn't as useful or versatile as those in some other three-row SUVs.
Towing shouldn't be a problem for the Suburban. A maximum rating of 8,300 pounds is enough for a medium-to-large size trailer, and plentiful towing tech features are available.
Fuel Economy
7.0/10
How’s the fuel economy? This was a bit of a shocker: During our testing, our test Suburban with the 6.2-liter V8 matched its EPA estimate of 16 mpg combined and even exceeded it on our evaluation route of mixed city and highway driving with a tally of 18.7 mpg. That figure is better than what we observed from the Ford Expedition Max and even the lighter Tahoe with the 5.3-liter V8.
We suspect the Suburban did so well because the larger 6.2-liter V8 comes with an advanced cylinder deactivation technology that conserves fuel at highway speed. It should also be noted that the engine requires premium fuel. Still, an impressive showing.
Value
7.0/10
Is the Suburban a good value? Entry-level versions of the Suburban provide good value considering the power and space you're getting. However, some features such as adaptive cruise control are only available in the most expensive trims. Optioned-up models such as the High Country can end up being uncomfortably pricey considering the so-so materials inside.
The Suburban comes with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. It also has generous six-year/100,000-mile rust protection and five-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance, plus free maintenance for one year.
Wildcard
7.0/10
For better or worse, the Suburban is defined by its imposing size. Its massive height, width and weight make the big SUV cumbersome on the road. Even with impressive driving dynamics, you are always keenly aware of how much space you're taking up.
It does have personality, though. In any trim level you choose, the Suburban has powerful engines, loads of cargo space, and strong towing capacity. If having family adventures is high on your priority list, the Suburban can certainly accommodate trips to the mountains, or quality time on the lake, for years to come. Just be prepared to accept the downsides that come along with it.
Which Suburban does Edmunds recommend?
You're buying a big SUV and you need a big V8 to match. So consider getting the RST. This is the least expensive Suburban you can get with the 6.2-liter V8. The upsized V8 is burly and actually outperformed the base 5.3-liter V8 in our fuel economy tests. Additionally, the RST comes with an impressive mix of standard features to enhance the SUV's comfort, convenience and looks.

2021 Chevrolet Suburban LT 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
The Suburban is everything we wanted out of a vehicle for our growing family. We love the new independent suspension and the over all look and feel of the Suburban.
Now the bad the entertainment system is all based on HDMI plugs I tried everything to get it to work and the only thing that worked was a firestick. That is even shotty if you don't get the WIFI in the vehicle. The … headphones they gave us dont connect and we had to take it to a dealer to get them to work and they even had some issues with it.
We had to use other bluetooth headphones to work with the system.
But alas the cargo area is awesome, the panoramic sun roof is beautiful and the power is exactly what we needed for us!
Multiple major issues within 6,000 miles

2021 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
Own a '21 Suburban Z71. Have had multiple recalls and issues with Lifting/Lowering System. Major issue with Engine Lifter going out at 5,000 miles. Spent 2 weeks in shop awaiting parts and repair for Lifters and Rods and Gaskets. Just picked it up YESTERDAY and now the same Warning Light is already going off again after 24 hours! We spent $73K on this piece of garbage.
Smaller … issues with Paint peeling off the front fender after the 1st week of purchase.
It looks awesome. Comfortable inside. But if it's in the shop all the time, it is useless.
GM will only give us $45 for a rental. They claim. I still have not seen the money yet from the last 2 week repair.
Engine failed before 5k miles

2021 Chevrolet Suburban RST 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
We had bought a 2021 Suburban RST in Dec 2020, my husband and I were our way to my surgery and check engine light came on and the SUV started shaking and making weird noises on the freeway. Get home the next day (Friday) and didn’t feel comfortable driving it..take it into Chevy that Tuesday and the whole engine failed and needed to be replaced (took over a month and kept giving us the … runaround). Traded it in for a 4Runner because they told us this is a problem with all new Tahoe’s and Suburbans. Will never consider buying Chevy again. Waste of $70k.
Didn't last over 5,000 miles

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban, so we've included reviews for other years of the Suburban since its last redesign.
LAUREN MCCAY: So you need a car for the hustle and bustle of life. Kids, carpools, chaos, oh, my! Here at Edmunds, we think an SUV could be your answer. If you're thinking about one but don't know where to start, this is for you. And make sure you subscribe to our channel and be sure to visit edmunds.com to find your next car. So what goes into Edmunds rankings?
First, our test team puts each vehicle through a rigorous workout and logs their capabilities, spaciousness, and efficiency. Then we score them in dozens of categories, add up all the points, and voila, our top rankings list. It's the best of the best models we've tested to date.
They say the best things come in small packages. That's why I'm starting with the little guys-- extra small SUVs. They're like when potato chip brands thought they were really fooling us with snack size. Unfortunately, I ate like, four of these in one sitting. Anyway--
[MUSIC PLAYING]
There's quite a few compact SUVs that we hail as pretty impressive. The CX-30 and the Trailblazer. But our very top pick in this category is the 2022 Volkswagen Tops starting at just a smidge over $20,000. Volkswagen used to be known for offering excellent small sedans. But then they went into their secret car-- think tank volt-- to reimagine their fleet. And poof, the Tesla landed on planet Earth.
Why we like it? It's got great comfort, and the interior is one of the best in its class. It's also one of the biggest. The fuel economy is pretty good, and the tech inside is pretty sick. It's got a punchy-beat sound system that delivers more bass than a Bone Thug's reunion concert.
The small SUV known as the just right size vehicle. If you're an Edmunds super fan, you know that the Honda CRV has been our favorite small SUV for years. But it's finally been edged out of the top spot. In this category, you'll find the Mazda CX-5, the Hyundai Tucson. But it's the brand new 2023 Mazda CX-50 that's kicked the CRV to the curb and stands as our pick for the best in this class. It's sold alongside the existing CX-5, which I know is a bit of an odd situation having two similar SUVs competing in the same class. But there are enough differences to justify each.
The CX-50 has a slightly more rugged look with its more pronounced fenders and slimmer grille. It also offers improved off-road and towing capabilities compared to the CX-5. And it's on our list for best small SUV because of its engaging handling, spaciousness, elevated interior, and overall look. Now, keep in mind, that handling also gives it a firmer ride. Mazda's tend to be among the best driving models in their class. And the CX-50 is no different.
This list keeps on leveling up. And next is the 2022 Honda Passport, which tops our list for best midsize SUV. Now, years ago, Honda added the Passport to its family of SUVs to bridge the gap between the compact CRV and the midsize three-row Pilot. Essentially, the Passport is a shorter version of the Pilot.
Now, it doesn't have a third row seat, but it does have a more rugged look and a bit more off-roading capability and makes our list because it's cost-efficient, spacious, and an enjoyable ride. The Passport also offers enough ground clearance and an available all-wheel drive system for camping excursions or iffy and just downright unpleasant weather situations. It always seems to come at the wrong time.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
If you have a growing family, have a lot of gear to move, or I don't know, have a zoo's worth of dogs to haul around--
[BARKING]
--then a three-row midsize SUV is likely your jam. And the Telluride has been our top-rated SUV for three years in a row. It's super popular and understandably so with its smooth ride quality, luxury-like interior, and a third row that can comfortably fit large adults, starting under $35,000. And it can comfortably seat eight people. The largest in Kia's lineup. Another reason why it's on our list.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Now, you think eight people is impressive. Try that number, plus say a dog, double the cargo space and a partridge in a pear tree, then voila. You've got the 2022 Chevy Suburban, our top pick for the best large SUV. Yes, it looks mysterious on the outside. Please, no paparazzi. No pictures. But on the inside, it's so much more. We like it because of the space. It's like a never-ending tunnel. Hello.
Seriously, though, starting out, there's more than 40 cubic feet, fold that third row down, and you've got over 90. The Suburban has a smooth ride, impressive tech, and decent MPG given its size. We're just moving right along. Our next group of cars going a bit after five with it are all of our luxury choices. And it seems I'm a bit underdressed.
[SNAPS]
That's better. I'm not a regular driver. I'm a cool driver.
We're starting out with our luxury subcompact. Now, if we're talking posh cars, I'm sure you could just guess a few brands on our list. But today, there could only be one top extra small luxury SUV, Darling. And that for us is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB. The performance on this car is top notch. And we love the comfort level of the seats. I mean, hello. They have like, a massage function.
Ah, I mean, who cares about that micromanaging stressful boss when you can hop in one of these after work. OK, seriously, you might want to talk to your therapist about that too.
Oh, I'm sorry. I got lost there for a moment. OK, aside from it being an overall pleasant ride, this GLB also has great storage space for its size, able to accommodate big and bulky objects.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
If you know the lush life, then you've obviously spent a day or two in the spa, which means you have something in common with the GLB creators as well as its contender in the next class-- the 2022 Genesis GV70-- [INAUDIBLE] some pretty comfortable and adjustable seats with heating, ventilation, and that wonderful massage feature. Ah.
Nonetheless, this all new small luxury SUV is on our list and is also one of our top-rated vehicles, frankly, because of its spacious interior, lots of cargo space, swift handling, and overall composed ride. And it costs thousands less than other luxury SUVs, which means you can party and keep up with the Joneses. But no one really has to know how much it cost you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
For our next category-- who left my Perrier in the dressing room? Amateurs. As I was saying, moving on to the best luxury midsize SUVs. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE. So I'm sure you've guessed. This is going to cost you a bit more than some of the others today if you want more room, sophisticated tech, and you want to do it with flair.
We think the GLE is a great choice. Fresh off the 2020 redesign, there's plenty of performance options available with the GLE and some off-roading, making it a fun ride. And that interior. Now, I'm going to read you exactly what our review says. The GLE's cabin is close to perfect. Close to perfect? Do we usually say that about any car, guys? Its quality and functional nature is really second to none. And it's pretty roomy. Lots of leg and head room for everyone.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So you want a bit more space and extra row of seats. And you want to pull off the whole cool mom thing? My daughter is my best friend. Then we'd say the 2022 Audi Q7 is a great choice. It's on our list for the best three-row mid-sized luxury SUV. And we love it because it's quiet, comfortable, and versatile. We like it so much that we've consistently ranked it our number one model for this kind of SUV.
The Q7 is one of the most comfortable vehicles in its class. The front seats are cushy and supportive for the long haul. And its standard suspension gives you a balanced and smooth ride. If you're not a techy, though, you might get a little lost in the Q7's two touchscreen infotainment interface system. So many buttons.
[BEEPS]
Finishing out our list with the best large luxury SUV is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS. When you're ready to buy the best Mercedes-Benz SUV, you can get the three-row GLS awaits. It's all about maximum luxury, comfort, and convenience, like the Four Seasons on a cloud with Alfred at your disposal. Too far?
It has new standard equipment, like a four-zone automatic climate control system and ventilated seats. From the interior and comfort to the tech, this SUV scores high for us in our testing because it's made with a lot of thought, sophistication, and care. And for as big as it is, the mpg is still quite impressive.
Well, that was a wild ride. Pun fully intended there. Whether you decide to go with a subcompact Taos or glam it up with a Mercedes, every car on our list will give you great comfort, good space for its size, and keep you and your passengers content on the road for a long time.
So if you really want an SUV that makes you happy, you should do one thing-- hop in and give it a go. And don't worry. We won't make you change your wardrobe. Did you know we have a top 10 for every category? So check out edmunds.com no matter what kind of car, truck, or SUV you're searching for.
These Are the Best SUVs of 2022-2023 | 2022-2023 Top SUVs | The SUVs We'd Buy in Each Class
NOTE: This video is about the 2022 Chevrolet Suburban, but since the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.
In the market for a brand-new SUV? Whether you're looking for small and affordable or large and in charge, Edmunds has you covered with our list of best-in-class SUVs for the 2022-2023 model year. From Honda to Mercedes to Volkswagen, our comprehensive list encompasses everything from… budget and economy 2-row SUVs to luxury 3-row SUVs on sale today up to $100,000.
The Max version of the Ford Expedition is the Suburban's main competition. It's about a foot longer than the standard Expedition, giving it the cargo room and size to compete with the Suburban. Both king-size SUVs offer similar space and features, but the Expedition has just one drivetrain, a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that makes 400 hp on premium fuel.
The Nissan Armada is a better match for the shorter-wheelbase Chevy Tahoe, but it checks a lot of the same boxes as the Suburban: It's a large body-on-frame SUV, and it has three rows of seating, a standard V8 engine, and a wide assortment of features. The Armada comes with more standard driver assist features, including adaptive cruise control and blind-spot intervention.
The Yukon XL is the Suburban's GMC counterpart. It has identical dimensions but a more rugged exterior look and somewhat better interior materials. As such, the GMC is priced higher than the Chevy, but the extra style you get for the money might be worth it for some. Mechanically, these two SUVs are pretty much identical.
