NEW FOR 2014:
- LS receives standard power adjustable pedals, remote starter, rear park assist, and rear-view mirror with reverse camera display
- New colour: Concord Metallic
Frequently seen towing horse trailers, in rental vehicle fleets, and on the silver screen as a part of a presidential motorcade, the Chevrolet Suburban is an American icon. This venerable full-size sport utility vehicle offers space for up to nine, and acres of luggage.
This year marks the final year of production for the current generation, and, as you might expect there aren’t many changes in store. Equipment levels have, however, been boosted for the base LS model, which now convenience items like power adjustable pedals, remote starter, and perhaps most importantly, a reverse camera as standard equipment.
The hard-working Suburban is offered in three trims: LS, LT, and LTZ. The LS and LT can be had with rear or four-wheel drive, while the LTZ is offered exclusively with four-wheel drive. All come powered by a 5.3-litre overhead valve V8 with cylinder deactivation. A six-speed automatic with a tow/haul mode is standard.
