Browse our inventory online or visit Graff Chevrolet of Chesterton to compare trims, explore available features, and schedule a test drive.

Interior Space and Comfort

Suburban’s strongest interior advantage is the ability to carry a passenger group without immediately running out of luggage space. Decide how many seats you regularly need, then compare the folding arrangements and comfort features that support those trips.

• Seating layouts: Seven- and eight-passenger configurations are offered, with seating for up to nine limited to an available LS front split-bench arrangement. The highest passenger count is not standard across the lineup.
• Passenger dimensions: Legroom measures 44.5 inches in front, 42 inches in the second row, and 36.7 inches in the third row, helping you evaluate the space beyond the front seats.
• Cargo capacity: There are 41.5 cubic feet behind the third row, 93.8 cubic feet behind the second row, and up to 144.5 cubic feet behind the front seats. Larger figures require folding rear seating rows.
• Climate control: Standard tri-zone automatic climate control gives the driver, front passenger, and rear occupants separate settings. Acoustic laminated glass also helps manage cabin sound.
• Seat comfort: Heated front seats are included on LT and above. RST, Premier, and High Country add front-seat ventilation; heated second-row outboard seats are standard on Premier and High Country and available on eligible lower trims.

Available power-folding rear seating helps change the layout without manually folding every section. A power-sliding center console is included on Premier and eligible High Country configurations and offered through select packages on other trims, adding an adjustable storage solution between the front seats.

Exterior Style and Access

The Chevrolet Suburban full-size SUV is 226.3 inches long, with an 81-inch body width excluding mirrors and a 134.1-inch wheelbase. That size creates its interior advantage, but it also makes garage clearance and everyday parking important parts of the purchase decision.

• LS and LT wheels: Standard 18-inch Bright Silver-painted aluminum wheels establish a straightforward look, with eligible upgrades available.
• RST appearance: Black emblems, a unique grille, and standard 22-inch wheels emphasize its street-focused personality. Available 24-inch wheels add another styling choice.
• Z71 exterior: A high-approach-angle front fascia, an aluminum front skid plate, Red recovery hooks, tubular assist steps, and 20-inch all-terrain tires distinguish its trail-oriented design.
• Premium detailing: Premier and High Country include animated LED headlamps and taillamps. High Country adds its own grille, badging, and standard 22-inch wheels.
• Liftgate access: LS uses a manual liftgate, while LT and above include a programmable power liftgate. Available AutoSense operation adds hands-free access on eligible configurations.

Exterior Paint Options

Availability varies by trim. Polar White Tricoat, Dark Ash Metallic, and Radiant Red Tintcoat carry an additional charge.

• White Sands – new for 2027; RST and Z71
• Polar White Tricoat – Premier and High Country
• Dark Ash Metallic
• Summit White – LS, LT, RST, and Z71
• Black
• Radiant Red Tintcoat
• Sterling Gray Metallic
• Lakeshore Blue Metallic – LS, LT, Premier, and High Country

Power and Towing Capability

Suburban offers three engines so buyers can match powertrain characteristics to their travel and trailering needs. Engine availability depends on trim and package, and the most powerful option is not required for every use case.

• 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8: Standard on all trims except High Country, it produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque for everyday full-size SUV duties.
• 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8: Standard on High Country and available on eligible RST, Z71, and Premier configurations, it produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Required packages vary by trim.
• 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel: Available on LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country, it produces 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, giving shoppers a diesel alternative to the gasoline V8s.

Drivetrain and Ride Control

Running gear affects both the driving experience and the places you intend to travel.

• Transmission: A 10-speed automatic pairs with the available engines, with equipment tailored to the selected powertrain.
• Drive configuration: Rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive models are offered. Z71 is a four-wheel-drive configuration.
• Ride adjustment: Magnetic Ride Control is standard on Premier and High Country and available through eligible RST and Z71 packages. Available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension adds another level of suspension adjustment.
• Z71 capability: A standard two-speed Autotrac transfer case and Hill Descent Control support its off-road-oriented role. Equipment does not remove terrain, traction, or vehicle limitations.

2027 Chevrolet Suburban Towing Capacity

Maximum available 2027 Chevrolet Suburban towing capacity is up to 8,200 pounds when properly equipped. Engine, drivetrain, trailering equipment, and the loaded vehicle determine the applicable rating; this maximum does not apply to every configuration.

A standard trailering hitch platform, seven-way connector, and 2-inch receiver provide the starting equipment. The available Max Trailering Package adds a trailer brake controller and advanced trailering equipment, with contents and prerequisites varying by configuration. The nine-passenger LS arrangement cannot be combined with that package.

Passengers, cargo, accessories, and trailer tongue weight all count toward payload. Check the specific vehicle’s payload label, tow rating, hitch rating, and axle limits against the trailer’s loaded weight before selecting a truck-and-trailer combination.

Connected Travel Technology

Suburban’s cabin technology serves the whole trip, from navigation up front to keeping compatible devices connected farther back. Select the functions you actually use, and check their device and service requirements before deciding.

• Center touchscreen: A standard 17.7-inch diagonal display includes Google built-in compatibility, navigation capability, connected apps, personalized profiles, and natural voice recognition. Select services require an applicable plan and connectivity.
• Driver information: The standard 11-inch diagonal digital Driver Information Center keeps vehicle information ahead of the driver.
• Phone integration: Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ are standard for compatible phones. Wireless phone charging is included on LT and above, while USB connections include third-row USB-C charging ports.
• Audio choices: Premier and High Country include a Bose® 10-speaker Surround system with CenterPoint; it is available through the Comfort Package on eligible LT, RST, and Z71 configurations.
• Head-Up Display: A 15-inch diagonal display is standard on High Country and available through the Technology Package on eligible LT, RST, Z71, and Premier models.

Trailering Visibility and Monitoring

Standard Hitch Guidance helps position the vehicle during hookup. Available advanced trailering technology adds an in-vehicle trailering app and expanded trailer camera views, with the applicable package and camera equipment required. Keep those tools separate from rated capability: an assistance feature does not increase the weight the SUV can tow.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Suburban provides standard assistance for traffic, intersections, reversing, and parking. These features are particularly useful to evaluate in a vehicle of this size, but their performance depends on operating conditions and driver attention.

• Forward assistance: Standard Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert support awareness of potential conflicts ahead.
• People and intersections: Standard Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking address additional situations in front of the SUV.
• Lane awareness: Standard Enhanced Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Blind Zone Steering Assist support awareness alongside the vehicle. Eligible trailering equipment adds Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering.
• Reversing and parking: Standard Reverse Automatic Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, and HD Surround Vision assist with low-speed maneuvering.
• Cruising and lighting: Standard Adaptive Cruise Control helps manage following distance, while IntelliBeam automatically controls high beams when conditions permit.

Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is available on eligible LT, RST, Premier, and High Country configurations. It requires compatible roads, an active plan or trial, appropriate connectivity, and attentive driver supervision; an included three-year period is followed by a paid-plan requirement for continued service. It is not autonomous driving.

Always check traffic and surroundings yourself. Driver-assistance equipment does not replace appropriate speed, braking distance, or safe operation within vehicle and trailer limits.
