2026 Chevrolet Suburban

The 2026 Chevrolet Suburban solidifies its legendary status as the segment leader in space, capability, and technology. Positioned as the ideal vehicle for large families, executive transport, or anyone requiring massive towing and cargo capacity, the Suburban carries over the significant updates introduced in the prior model year while refining its aesthetics and adding minor convenience features. Expected to arrive in dealerships late in 2025, the 2026 Suburban maintains its imposing road presence with a sleek, yet powerful exterior design defined by updated LED lighting elements and a bold front fascia, which vary dramatically depending on the trim level selected.

Performance and Powertrain Versatility
Chevrolet offers a trio of robust powertrain choices, all paired with a smooth and efficient 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is the reliable 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8, delivering 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. For drivers demanding maximum power, the optional 6.2-liter V8 steps up output to 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, standard on the range-topping High Country trim.

Crucially, the 2026 Suburban continues to offer the highly praised 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six. Generating 305 horsepower and a massive 495 lb-ft of torque, the diesel is the choice for efficiency-minded owners, providing best-in-class EPA-estimated highway range and maximizing the Suburban’s substantial towing capability, which peaks at 8,200 pounds when properly equipped.

Refined Ride and Handling
Despite its immense size, the 2026 Suburban is engineered to provide a supremely comfortable and controlled ride. This is largely thanks to its sophisticated chassis and available suspension technologies. Magnetic Ride Control, optional on Premier and standard on High Country trims, utilizes sensors to read the road every millisecond, adjusting the dampers for optimal comfort and body control.

Further enhancing versatility is the available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. This system employs air springs to automatically maintain load leveling and can dynamically adjust the ride height. It lowers the vehicle at highway speeds to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, and can be raised for extra ground clearance in off-road scenarios. It even includes an "Entry/Exit" mode that lowers the vehicle two inches when parked, making passenger and cargo loading effortless.

Interior Technology and Space
The Suburban’s interior is a high-tech command center. Dominating the dash is the best-in-class 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen, complemented by an 11-inch digital Driver Information Center. Running on the Google built-in operating system, the infotainment platform offers seamless integration of navigation and media. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, alongside an available wireless charging pad and multiple USB ports throughout the cabin.

Space is, of course, the Suburban’s defining feature. With 41.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and a class-leading maximum capacity of 144.5 cubic feet, it can handle virtually any load. It’s also one of the few vehicles to still offer an available 9-passenger seating configuration on the base LS trim. Advanced safety systems, including Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control, are standard, and GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology is available on higher trims, providing confident, semi-autonomous driving on over 750,000 miles of mapped roads in North America.
