Chevrolet Suburban

2026 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN PREMIER 4WD — UNITED STATES SPECIFICATION

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

The Suburban Premier is powered by the 5.3-litre EcoTec3 V8, GM engine code L84 — a naturally aspirated 90-degree overhead-valve 16-valve V8 displacing 5,327 cc with direct injection, variable valve timing and Dynamic Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. Output is 355 hp (265 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 519 Nm (383 lb-ft) at 4,100 rpm on a 11.0:1 compression ratio. Drive reaches the road through a Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case and an automatic mode. This is the standard engine for the grade; the 6.2-litre L87 and the 3.0-litre Duramax turbo-diesel are separate powertrain choices and are not fitted to this unit.

CHASSIS, STEERING AND BRAKES

An independent coil-over-shock front suspension is paired with an independent multi-link rear suspension — the layout that replaced the previous live rear axle and which underpins the model's third-row and cargo packaging. Steering is electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion. Braking is by ventilated discs at all four corners with four-channel ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist and dynamic brake support. The unit rides on 20-inch machined-face aluminium wheels with 275/60R20 all-season tyres.
