Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2017 Chevy Suburban is the ne plus ultra of SUVs; it'll tow up to 8,300 pounds and carry up to nine passengers without a fuss.
The current Suburban is completely up to date, though. Revamped for the 2015 model year, it's sold in LS, LT, and Premier trims. In all of them, it's a towing and hauling champion, with extreme interior space to boot—and a big dose of connectivity for long road trips and on-site job needs.
We rate it at 6.2 out of 10, with a nod toward its exceptional trailering talent and for its vast interior room.

Pros
Unabashedly an SUV
Much-improved cabin
Excellent new V-8 drivetrain
More safety and better infotainment features

Cons
Very angular styling
One powertrain fits all
One of the biggest vehicles you can buy

The 2017 Chevrolet Suburban ranks 5 out of 6 Large SUVs. The Chevrolet Suburban offers an upscale cabin loaded with features, roomy seats, and one of the largest cargo capacities in the class. However, some competitors have a lower starting price, better crash test scores, and a higher towing capacity than the Suburban.

Pros
Hushed, upscale interior
Generous cargo room
Cushioned ride

Cons
Lower safety scores than some rivals
Lower towing capacity than rivals

For 2017 the Chevrolet Suburban changes the name of its top trim level to Premier. New features for the lineup of Suburban models include automatic low-speed emergency braking paired with the existing forward collision warning system, a teen-driver location management system, and a reminder to check the backseats for child occupants before leaving the vehicle. Simple ventilated seats replace the former cooled seats, and the rear entertainment system has been updated.

Pros
Seating for up to nine passengers
Cargo capacity is generous
High-quality interior adds some luxury
Strong V8 engine is up to the task.

Cons
Maneuvering in tight spaces is challenging
High cargo floor means more effort to load objects
Throttle response is sluggish
Maximum passenger capacity is available only in the base model.
