Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban

3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6

Effortless torque and long-haul confidence define the available 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six. Rated at 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, this engine delivers smooth, low-RPM pulling power that is especially valuable when you have passengers, cargo, and a trailer in tow. Paired with a 10-speed automatic, the Duramax builds speed without drama, making highway merges and hill climbs feel relaxed. Diesel engines shine on extended trips where consistent torque and quiet cruising matter most. For suburban families who also haul boats, campers, or work equipment on weekends, the Duramax’s robust torque curve and calm demeanor make it a stand-out choice.

6.2L V-8 With 10-Speed Automatic

For drivers who prefer strong, immediate acceleration and commanding passing power, the available 6.2L V-8 is the powerhouse of the lineup. With 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, it teams up with the 10-speed automatic to deliver crisp response across the rev range. Whether you are joining fast-moving highway traffic or climbing a steep grade with a trailer, this combination feels confident and composed. The transmission’s closely spaced ratios keep the engine in its sweet spot, while advanced engine management helps the 6.2L stay smooth and refined in everyday driving. If you want the most authoritative acceleration in your three-row SUV, this is your engine.

Air Ride Adaptive Suspension

The available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension adds a layer of sophistication and versatility to the Suburban’s chassis. This system can automatically or manually raise and lower ride height to improve ground clearance off-pavement, ease entry and exit, and enhance aerodynamics at highway speeds. Paired with available adaptive dampers, it actively responds to changing road conditions to reduce body motion and improve cabin calm. In practical terms, that means fewer head tosses for second- and third-row passengers and a more composed feel over expansion joints, gravel, and patched asphalt. From daily errands to long road trips, it elevates comfort across all three rows.

17.7-Inch Infotainment Display and 11.0-Inch Driver Cluster

Every Suburban places modern connectivity front and center with a standard 17.7-inch infotainment screen angled toward the driver for easier reach and visibility. The interface supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and a wireless charging pad, keeping devices powered and passengers connected. Directly ahead, an 11.0-inch digital driver information center lets you customize key data such as navigation prompts, driver-assistance status, audio, and towing information. Available upgrades like a Bose audio system and rear-seat entertainment add to the premium feel. The overall effect is intuitive control with the kind of screen real estate you would expect in a flagship SUV.

Super Cruise Hands-Free Driving

Available on select trims, Super Cruise is a driver-assistance technology designed to support hands-free driving on compatible roads. Using a suite of cameras, sensors, and map data, Super Cruise helps manage speed and steering, while a driver attention system ensures you stay ready to take control when needed. On long highway stretches, this feature reduces fatigue and maintains confident lane position. Pair it with available adaptive cruise control for a comprehensive set of tools that help the Suburban feel remarkably easy to manage, even on extended journeys with a full cabin. For busy families crisscrossing Texas, Super Cruise adds real-world value mile after mile.
