Safety, quality, sport & luxury without the emblem

2019 Chevrolet Suburban Premier 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 6A)
This SUV lacks nothing! The emblem is something many buyers pay for, but this vehicle offers all of the power, sport and luxury options without the ostentatious emblem. We are still searching for a forgotten option or want but I think Chevy has it covered :)

Which Suburban does Edmunds recommend?
The 2019 Suburban gets a new optional engine: a 6.2-liter V8. It's paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission and it provides a big increase in power. And given a big budget, that's certainly the engine we'd choose. Unfortunately, you can only get the upgraded engine with the top trim level, the Premier. For most Suburban shoppers, the midlevel Suburban LT will do just fine. It's still capable of towing more than 8,000 pounds, and it has more a more appealing set of standard features than the LS. A wide array of options are available, too. Consider getting the affordably priced Max Trailering package for its upgraded suspension and altered axle ratios.

Driving
7.0We like this 5.3-liter V8, as well as the standard manually shiftable six-speed automatic. It is generally well-behaved for such a large vehicle, but there's no getting around the Suburban's immense size and weight. Towing capacity and mild off-road ability are welcome attributes.
Comfort
7.5It's very quiet and, in the front two rows of seats, very roomy and comfortable. The third row will still handle two adults, but only for shorter trips. The ride is generally good on smooth surfaces, but minor road imperfections and ripples cause the rear of the cabin to shimmy and shake.
Interior
7.5The interior is attractive with good ergonomics. Second-row passengers enjoy ample space and visibility, along with heated seats (included with optional Luxury package). The solid-axle rear suspension robs third-row legroom and results in a high load floor.
Utility
5.0The flat load floor and power-folding second- and third-row seats are welcome features, but the extremely high liftover height makes for difficult loading. Maximum cargo room is immense but is about equal to space in the smaller Toyota Sequoia.
Technology
The Suburban comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. We've found it to be responsive and easy to use. A full suite of driver assistance features help the Suburban keep pace with its tech-minded rivals.
