Users of the New Tahoe Yukon forum
that happened to have very keen eyes spotted the new Suburban first and quickly
posted it online. As many expected, the Z71 is similar in style to its relative
in the form of the Tahoe, with a wheelbase nearly 14 inches longer. There are
also 16 cubic feet of additional cargo space behind the third row for hauling
any vital gear around. Engine choices are the GM 5.3-liter V8 or the even more
powerful 6.2-liter version.
Now coming as a standard feature is Hill Descent
Control, and properly topping off the Z71 package are front and rear tow hooks,
“off-road” wheels, and trim-specific styling from the grille on down to the new
unique badging. Even though the total length of the vehicle is increased by
just over one percent, the cargo space is up by 19 percent over the outgoing
GM's family of new SUVs – and various experienced ride testers have claimed
that you really notice during every crack and crevice just how valuable and
game-changing it is.
At 85 years and counting, the Suburban is the
longest-running nameplate in automotive history. Many out there are excited
about the fact that the architecture that underpins both the sensational
Silverado 1500 and Silverado HD pickups are what the Suburban rolls on. This was part of a mission to make sure that the Chevy models differentiate from
their GMC counterparts, and that the light-duty and heavy-duty trucks as well
as various trims see a distinct variety. This is the first time ever that the
Suburban sees a panoramic roof, and stitching is accompanied by piping on the
seats for an aesthetic touch. The level of progression in the auto market is
astounding right now, and there is five times the data processing power of the
outgoing model to support vital over-the-air updates and vehicle diagnostics to
boot!
