Even though the all-new Silverado and Sierra ride on an all-new platform, the full-size SUVs in the General Motors stable soldier on with old underpinnings. Be that as it may, there’s still some life left in the Tahoe and Suburban according to Chevrolet.
Enter the Premier Plus, a special edition that joins the Chevrolet Suburban RST in the automaker’s full-size SUV lineup. Available for both the Tahoe and Suburban, the Premier Plus starts at $74,100 plus $1,295 for the destination charge. The larger of the two models is $76,900, which is a lot of money for a Chevy when you think about it.
Scheduled to enter production next week, the Premier Plus sits at the top of the range, above the LS, LT, Premier, and RST. That’s right, ladies and gents; what Chevrolet pulled off this time around is a mixture of Premier with RST, thus creating a luxed-up family hauler that happens to develop 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque on full song.
The 6.2-liter small-block V8 comes as standard with a ten-speed automatic transmission. Magnetic Ride Control comes standard, as does a unique interior with Black/Mahogany-colored leather upholstery, Jet Black trim surround, and 22-inch polished wheels. Heated and ventilated seats, gold bowtie emblems, chrome nameplate badging and power steps, cargo organizer, and 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot are also included, along with a 12-month data plan.
“Our customers have shown strong demand for both Tahoe and Suburban with the 6.2-liter V8 option,” explains Sandor Piszar, director of Chevrolet Trucks Marketing and Advertising. “Thirty-six percent of all Chevy full-size SUV special edition models are now sold with this engine. Premier Plus gives both Suburban and Tahoe customers another option to choose from with several added premium touches.”
2019 is the final model year for the current generations of the Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Escalade, with all of these gentle giants going T1XX from 2020 onwards. The biggest change from the K2XX vehicle architecture is the introduction of independent rear suspension. The 4.2-liter twin-turbo V8 from the Cadillac CT6 V-Sport could also make the cut.
