2026 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HIGH COUNTRY 2WD — US SPECIFICATION

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

The Suburban High Country is powered by the 6.2-litre EcoTec3 L87 V8, a naturally aspirated 90-degree overhead-valve engine of 6,162 cc with direct injection, variable valve timing and Dynamic Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. It produces 420 horsepower (313 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 460 lb-ft (623 Nm) of torque at 4,100 rpm on recommended premium unleaded fuel. Drive passes through a 10-speed automatic transmission with Electronic Precision Shift to the REAR wheels on a 3.23:1 axle ratio; this is a two-wheel-drive car, not a four-wheel-drive one. Exhaust is a dual system with polished tips. The engine and transmission were both built in the United States and the vehicle was assembled at Arlington, Texas.

CHASSIS, STEERING AND BRAKES

The Suburban uses an independent front suspension and an independent multi-link coil-sprung rear suspension — the layout GM adopted for this generation in place of the previous live rear axle. Steering is electric power-assisted rack and pinion. Braking is by four-wheel ventilated discs with Duralife rotors, antilock braking, StabiliTrak electronic stability control with traction control, and an electric parking brake. The High Country grade runs 22-inch alloy wheels.

DIMENSIONS AND CAPACITIES

Overall length is 226.3 in (5,748 mm), width across the body excluding mirrors is 81.1 in (2,060 mm) and height is 76.4 in (1,941 mm), on a 134.1 in (3,406 mm) wheelbase. Base curb weight for a 2WD 6.2L car is approximately 5,858 lb (2,657 kg) and the published gross vehicle weight rating for a Suburban 2WD is 7,600 lb (3,447 kg). The fuel tank holds 28 US gallons (106 litres). Cargo volume is 41.5 cu ft (1,175 litres) behind the third row, expanding to 144.5 cu ft (4,092 litres) with the second and third rows folded.

TOWING AND CAPABILITY

Fitted with the standard Heavy-Duty Trailering Package — auxiliary external transmission fluid cooler and engine oil cooler, factory hitch, seven-pin wiring and trailer sway control — the maximum trailer weight for a 6.2L Suburban 2WD on the 3.23 axle is 7,500 lb (3,402 kg), against a gross combination weight rating of 14,000 lb (6,350 kg). These are the figures published in the official 2026 Chevrolet Trailering Guide for this exact engine and driveline combination; the 8,200 lb figure quoted in general Suburban marketing belongs to the 5.3L V8 with the Max Trailering Package and does not apply to this car.

EXTERIOR

The car is finished in Black over a Jet Black interior. Exterior equipment includes 22-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps and tail lamps with animated lighting, LED daytime running lamps, LED front fog lamps, bright roof rails, a chrome window surround and chrome door handles, power-folding heated outside mirrors with integrated turn signals, rain-sensing wipers, a hands-free power liftgate and a factory tow hitch. This car carries the factory Black Bowtie Emblems option, which replaces the standard gold bowties front and rear with black ones.

INTERIOR AND SEATING

The cabin is trimmed in Jet Black perforated leather-appointed seating surfaces across three rows in a seven-passenger layout: heated and ventilated power front bucket seats, heated second-row bucket seats with power release, and a power-folding 60/40 split-bench third row. Memory settings cover the driver's seat, the outside mirrors and the steering column. Comfort equipment includes a heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, a rear camera mirror, ambient lighting and an auto-dimming inside rearview mirror.

INFOTAINMENT AND CONNECTIVITY

The centre display is a 17.7-inch diagonal colour touchscreen running Google built-in with native maps and connected apps, paired with a digital driver information centre and a 15-inch diagonal multicolour head-up display. Smartphone integration is wireless for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with a wireless charging pad. Audio is a Bose 10-speaker system with SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth streaming and USB connectivity. The car is 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capable, carries a universal home remote, and is OnStar and Chevrolet Connected Services capable. An interior camera is fitted but is activated by a future software update.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE AND SAFETY

Standard driver assistance comprises adaptive cruise control, enhanced automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian and bicyclist braking, forward collision alert, enhanced lane keep assist with lane departure warning, Blind Zone Steering Assist, rear cross traffic braking, rear pedestrian alert, IntelliBeam automatic high beams, HD Surround Vision, enhanced automatic parking assist, the Safety Alert Seat, brake assist and trailer sway control. Passive protection includes driver and front passenger frontal airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, head-curtain airbags covering all three rows, a passenger sensing system, three-point belts in every seating position, LATCH child-seat anchors and a tyre pressure monitoring system. The Monroney label for this car records a 5-Star NHTSA Overall Vehicle Score, with five stars for both frontal crash positions, five stars for front and rear side crash, and three stars for rollover.

FUEL ECONOMY

EPA ratings for this configuration are 15 mpg city and 19 mpg highway, 17 mpg combined. These are US test-cycle figures; no WLTP or NEDC homologation exists for this market, so no CO2 emissions value is recorded for this car.
