2022 Chevy Suburban Trims Comparison

2022 Suburban trim level differences

The 2021 Suburban is offered in six trim levels: the LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier and High Country. The Suburban comes standard with a 5.3-liter V8 (355 horsepower, 383 lb-ft) mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive is available on all trim levels (standard on the Z71), with either a single- or two-speed transfer case. Two other engines are also available:

A 6.2-liter V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft) can be added to the RST, Z71 and Premier trims. (It comes standard on the High Country trim.) There's also a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder diesel engine (277 hp, 460 lb-ft) that's optional on every Suburban trim except the Z71.

  • Two-speed transfer case (for low-range gearing)
  • Hill descent control
  • Black and dark chrome exterior trim

  • Digital instrument panel
  • 10-speaker Bose audio system
  • Second-row bucket seats (drops capacity to seven passengers)
  • Power-folding third-row seat
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Blind-spot monitoring (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

High Country
Adds more luxury with:

  • 420-hp 6.2-liter V8
  • Surround-view camera system
  • Head-up display
  • Rear pedestrian alert system

Many features on the higher trim levels are available as options on the lower trims. Other significant options, depending on the trim level, include:

  • Max Trailering package
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Rear entertainment system
  • Traffic-adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the Suburban and the car in front)
  • Air suspension (can raise or lower the ride height of the vehicle)

Which 2022 Suburban trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Suburban comes in many flavors, but the one that offers the most bang for buck is the RST. That's now the cheapest model you can get with the 6.2-liter V8, which has plenty of power 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.
