2022 Chevrolet Suburban

If you’ve got kids, you’ve got stuff, and the updated Chevrolet Suburban can swallow it all and tow anything extra.

Chevrolet’s largest SUV was redesigned for 2021 and has grown in all the right places, with more legroom, additional cargo space and extra tech features compared with the outgoing version.

Power comes from a standard 355-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8 or, if you’re willing to upgrade to the High Country trim level, you’ll get a 420-hp, 6.2-liter V-8. A turbo-diesel 3.0-liter Duramax will also be available. All engines pair with a seamless, quick 10-speed automatic transmission. Adding to the Suburban’s drama-free driving experience is the optional Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control, which smooth out most bumps in the road for long-trip comfort.

The new Suburban’s cargo floor is lower and offers more space for stuff; clever storage spaces for small items throughout the cabin are also new. Need more room? The Suburban’s standard towing capacity ranges from 7,800 to 8,000 pounds, but when properly equipped, it tops out at 8,300 pounds (with the 5.3-liter and RWD). It also makes towing easier thanks to options such as side blind zone alert for the trailer and a helpful trailering app in the SUV’s standard 10-inch touchscreen.

Unlike the Chevy Tahoe and its truck-based peers, which aren’t as roomy as you might think versus lighter options, the longer Suburban accommodates both large families and their stuff — at the same time — earning it a nomination for 2022 Family Car of the Year.
