There have been Suburbans on the roads and highways of Sudbury, Lively, Chelmsford, Azilda, Val Caron, and Hanmer since as long ago as 1935. The 2024 Chevrolet Suburban sees this legendary body-on-frame SUV continue to mature with more space, versatility, capability, and cutting-edge technology than ever before. With seating for up to nine people and exceptional towing capability, the 2024 Suburban is the large SUV that sets its own agenda.
Some vehicles clearly get designed to fit a specific application, but there are few tasks beyond the immense capabilities of the 2024 Chevrolet Suburban. While the nine-seat capacity of the Suburban might lead some people to assume the mighty Chevy is a rugged, more desirable replacement for a minivan, you’re just as likely to see one with one or two people inside as one loaded with passengers. There are many cargo/passenger combinations available with the cavernous and flexible interior, and you can tow a sizeable trailer simultaneously.
The Suburban can tow up to as much as 3,765 kg (8,300 lb) when equipped with the available Max Trailering package. That was full-size pickup truck capability until relatively recently, but the Suburban can handle it while accommodating three rows of passengers. And when cargo rather than people is the priority, the Suburban can boast up to 4,098 litres (144.7 cu.-ft.) of available cargo volume.
The 2024 Chevrolet Suburban is available in six different trim levels with their own individual characters. The Suburban can be sensible, sporty, rugged, imposing, serious, opulent, or any combination of the above. The six trim levels, three engines, ten exterior colours, and a long list of available features make it easy to configure the Suburban to suit your specific requirements.
The lineup starts with the entry-level Suburban LS, primarily a model for fleet buyers. Retail shoppers are likely to start with the LT or higher to get a larger touchscreen for the infotainment, a nine-speaker Bose sound system, and a 12-inch diagonal colour Driver Information Centre. The LS and LT trims are rear-drive models with four-wheel drive available, but the rest of the lineup in Canada is exclusively four-wheel drive. The four trims above the LT are the RST, Z71, Premier, and top-of-the-range High Country.
When shopping for a 2024 Suburban, one of the most significant decisions you’ll have to make is which engine you want or need. Most people will likely be more than happy with the standard engine, a 5.3-litre V-8 gasoline engine that sends 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear or all four wheels through the ten-speed automatic transmission every Suburban utilizes. The only model for which the 5.3-litre unit isn’t available is the range-topping High Country.
If you want your Suburban with even more power under the hood, the RST, Z71, and Premier trim levels are also available with a 6.2-litre V-8 that’s standard for the High Country. The 6.2-litre V-8 produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. The final option is a 3.0-litre inline-six turbodiesel with 277 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, an option for every trim level apart from the Z71.
The 2024 Chevrolet Suburban ticks almost every box as long as fitting into tight spaces isn’t a priority. The Suburban’s size and capability are apparent for all to see. Still, it’s also remarkably comfortable with the available adjustable air suspension that allows automatic and manual lowering or raising for improved passenger accessibility, aerodynamics, and ground clearance. Experience the Suburban for yourself with a test drive from Southside Chevrolet Buick GMC at 2601 Regent St, Sudbury, Ontario, or call us at (705) 523-2438 for more details and schedule an appointment for a time that’s suitable for you.
