2021 Chevy Suburban Z71 Spotted by Motor1.com Troupe Minus Camouflage

The Chevy Suburban is now all-new for the 2020 model year, and there are big plans ahead for the completely overhauled SUV. By the end of the year, the standard model will be joined in the lineup by an off-road-focused trim wearing the Z71 namesake. Back in May the Suburban Z71 was previewed through an online configuration tool, and this week the staff on duty at Motor1.com offered up the first real-world photos of this new rugged SUV.

The spied-on prototype is not disguised here, and the design matches what is seen on the online configurator to the T. The shiny chrome trim pieces are now replaced with black accents, including the bow-tie, window surrounds, and Suburban badging. There is also a new black grille that sits above a redesigned front bumper, and new protective skid plate at the bottom. The 20-inch machine aluminum wheels also seem to be just slightly modified compared to the regular model's offerings. The power source for the new Z71 is the 5.3-liter V8 that cranks out 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, which is paired to GM's new 10-speed automatic transmission.

When you take a look at the online configurator, you have optional packages to choose from including the Luxury Package and new Rear Media and Nav Package. Make sure to check out the Z71 Signature Package that adds several important safety features as well as panoramic power sunroof. Improving on an SUV as iconic as the Suburban is about much more than just aesthetics. Everyone here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis knew that this version was about making the most versatile and advanced Suburban ever – offering up more passenger space, and more ways to have your vehicle specifically tailored to your needs.

The All-new Suburban offers best-in-class second-row legroom, a newly expanded third row, and enough cargo volume for you to have space for anyone at all who comes along for the ride. There are six trims available that all display their own unique style and flair, and we would always have to sway toward the direction of the luxurious High Country or street-styled RST! The Z71 trim offers up red tow hooks and skid plate, 20-inch wheels and all-terrain tires, black tubular assist steps, and available 4-corner air ride adaptive suspension. With an available built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi connection and the new Rear-Seat Media System, the passengers on board will have every last thing they need to stay entertained and connected, and properly enjoy the journey!
