85 years after it was first introduced, the Chevrolet Suburban still soldiers on, now in the shape of a three-row, full-size SUV. The newest generation, the 12th, has just been unveiled by the carmaker and is considerably different than what came before - both visually and mechanically.
Built on a new platform it shares with the Tahoe, the Suburban is 5,732 mm (225.7 in) long, 2,059 mm (81.1 in) wide, and 1,923 mm (75.7 in) high, making it a monster of a car and at the same time longer, wider, and even taller than the generation that precedes it.
Visually, the changes are clear. At the front, the iconic bowtie sits on a grille that now extends to include the very slim headlights, and the daytime running lights have been shaped in a much more aggressive way, running through the edges of the front end like bulging veins.
From the side, the new Suburban retains the same massive look, only this time somewhat more chiseled. This is evident right from the front end, with its protruding lines, and all the way to the back, where the hearse-like appearance seems to have been softened a bit.
The rear shows a new shape for the light clusters and rear hatch. The cavity carved into the tailgate is now much wider and narrower, and the bowtie emblem spreads its wings to the side of the vehicle.
There’s no mistaking the two inside either. The new Suburban is far more luxurious (at least in the top trim depicted above), almost Cadillac-like, and everything looks different, from the shape of the dashboard to the arrangement of the buttons.
Needless to say, the car can go fully digital, with large screens for the infotainment and instrument cluster, and there are even large tablets fitted at the rear for the passengers.
As for the technical aspect of the new Suburban, you can check them all out at this link.
