2021 Chevy Suburban Is Here, Continues the Story of the World’s Oldest Nameplate

This year, the Chevrolet Suburban nameplate turned 85. It’s an extraordinary achievement for a car, one that has landed the Chevy SUV the title of longest-running automotive nameplate. And the carmaker apparently plans to keep it going for a few decades more.

This week, Chevrolet unveiled the new version of the Suburban, accompanied by the revised variant of its smaller sibling, the Tahoe. Both come with the promise of “the most interior space of any SUV, exclusive technologies and features, and the best driving dynamics in the full-size segment.”

“With an increasing number of SUVs on the market, we knew the all-new Tahoe and Suburban needed to reach higher than ever,”
said in a statement Tim Herrick, vice president, global product programs.

“We transformed Tahoe and Suburban to offer all-new technologies and features and deliver a better driving experience, while staying true to the versatility and capability that have earned people’s trust for generations.”

Chevy calls the 2021 model year Suburban a complete transformation, one that brings an all-new chassis that is longer than before, and that features an independent rear suspension. Thanks to the new architecture, the SUV features lower load floors, and an extra of 10 inches when it comes to third-row legroom.

Just like the Tahoe, the Suburban is powered by V8 gasoline engines, “the most advanced in Chevrolet’s history,” all matched to a new 10-speed automatic transmission. Joining the V8s is a brand new Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six.

Power for the SUV ranges from 355 hp on the 5.3-liter V8 and can go to as high as 420 hp on the 6.2-liter V8. The six-cylinder diesel has an output of 277 hp.

The new generation of the car, the 12th in its long life, will hit the roads in mid-2020. No pricing was announced for now. Full details on the Suburban and Tahoe, as announced by Chevrolet, can be found in the press release section below.
