The Chevrolet Suburban first arrived in 1935 and has impressed drivers with its capabilities and versatility ever since. This full-size SUV has a body-on-frame construction and room for up to eight people. Chevy offers it with a choice of engines and either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. The Suburban has a bold exterior design with a range of features available, and the cabin is just as impressive with its abundant space and tech. Read below as our team at Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC provides an overview of the Suburban's interior and exterior features.
Exterior Design
2023 Chevrolet Suburban
Chevy offers the 2023 Suburban in six different trim levels, and each one has unique exterior features. The LS starts the lineup with 18-inch alloy wheels. It has rain-sensing windshield wipers that turn on automatically when they sense precipitation, LED taillights and daytime running lights, and automatic LED headlights that turn on and off according to traffic conditions. A step up from the base LS trim to the LT gets you a hands-free power liftgate, so you can easily access the cargo area, even if you have your hands full of gear, groceries, or children.
The RST is the sporty Suburban. It has 22-inch black-painted wheels, black exterior trim elements to give it a bolder style, and a unique front fascia. The RST, LT, and LS offer a new black front grille for the 2023 model year, with Chevrolet displayed in capital letters across the front.
If you plan to take your SUV over rough terrain, the Suburban Z71 is the model for you. It comes standard with four-wheel drive and extra off-road equipment, such as skid plates, all-terrain tires for the 20-inch wheels, and a two-speed transfer case. It also has red front tow hooks, a heavy-duty air filter, black textured side steps that run from wheel to wheel, and a uniquely designed front fascia. The redesigned front end improves the SUV's approach angle, making it easier to drive over rocks and other off-road obstacles.
Stepping up to the Premier adds magnetic ride control and an optional power panoramic sunroof. The High Country has 22-inch alloy wheels and optional power-retractable running boards. It also stands out from the other models with a unique front grille design with bronze accents.
Interior Space and Seating
In its standard configuration, the Suburban has room for up to eight people. All three rows have plenty of headroom and legroom, and there's easy access to every seat in the vehicle. You'll also find impressive cargo space in the Suburban. Behind all three rows, there are 41.5 cubic feet, but this can expand to 93.8 cubic feet if you fold down the third row. With both back rows folded, it has more storage space than any regular-length full-size SUV. You can carry up to 144.7 cubic feet of gear for hitting the lakes near Seminole.
The cushioned front seats in the Suburban have plenty of support to keep you comfortable on long rides. The second row is roomy, with space for taller passengers to spread out. Although the third-row seats don't have as much cushioning as the front two rows, there's enough space for adults to ride comfortably.
The Premier and High Country trims switch out the second-row bench seat for captain's chairs, making the second row even more comfortable even if it does reduce the seating to seven.
Interior Features
Cloth upholstery is standard in the lower Suburban trims, and even the base LS has convenient power-adjustable front seats. The leather-wrapped steering wheel gives the Suburban an upscale feel even for the entry-level trims, and it has a manual tilt-and-telescoping feature to help you find a comfortable position. Tri-zone automatic climate control is another standard feature in this SUV. Stepping up to the LT gets you heated front seats and leather upholstery for the first and second rows. It also adds driver's seat memory settings and power-folding second-row and third-row seats.
When you want to get into luxury territory, the Premier and High Country have added cabin features to get you there. These trims have ventilated front seats, a power-folding third row, and a power-sliding center console that moves back and forth to help create extra space. They also upgraded the upholstery to perforated leather.
The RST trim has a distinctive look in the cabin, with RST-specific seats with contrasting stitching for a sportier feel.
Technology
You can't have a luxury cruiser without the technology to keep everyone in the cabin entertained, and the 2023 Suburban has all the tech features you'll need. If you start with the base LS trim, you'll get an 8-inch touch screen that houses Chevrolet's Infotainment 3 system. It has Bluetooth, incorporates a six-speaker stereo system, and it works with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Satellite radio capability is also standard, along with a Wi-Fi hotspot, OnStar telecommunications, and six USB ports.
If you step up to the LT, a larger 10.2-inch touch screen sits in the middle of the dashboard to house the infotainment system instead of the 8-inch screen, and it has a 12-inch color digital gauge cluster in front of the driver. Wireless phone charging is another added tech feature in the LT, and this trim and above get built-in Google compatibility.
The Premier and High Country add to the tech features with a 10-speaker Bose surround-sound stereo system, and the High Country also adds a head-up display and a digital rearview mirror. The head-up display projects driver information on the windshield in front of you just below your line of sight so you can keep your eyes on the road. Depending on the trim level, a rear-seat entertainment system is available with two 12.6-inch LCD touch-screen displays.
