The Chevrolet Suburban name was on the market since 1935. There are a lot of car brands that cannot claim a long history like that. In fact, the Suburban name was the oldest name in the automotive industry which was still in production.

The twelfth generation of the Chevrolet Suburban was introduced in September 2013. The body-on-frame architecture was kept, in order to keep the production costs low. The weight was not a problem as long as it could be moved by one of the large V8 engines available on the manufacturer's shelf.

The American design was plain and simple as a shape, but there were some details that were changed. On the front, the dual-headlight system with HID bulbs, projector-beam, and the DRL system was standard. The massive chromed grille hosted the bow-tie Chevrolet logo design in the middle. For the car's construction, some light materials were used. The hood and the liftgate were made out of aluminum to ease-up the vehicle. But it was still a 2.5-ton vehicle (5586 lbs).

Inside, the Suburban was able to be configured with seatings for up to 9 passengers, but options for 8 or 6 were available. The driver had a lot of buttons and controls, more than into a normal vehicle. Apart from the regular ones, it had controls for the retractable sideboards (entering steps) trailer assist, power tilt and telescoping column, and many more. The instrument cluster had six analog dials, including the voltage and the oil pressure.

As for the engines, the 2015 Suburban was made more fuel-efficient due to its cylinder deactivation system, which helped the big SUV run in 4 cylinder mode. The standard transmission was a 6-speed automatic.
