Chevrolet Suburban

2026 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN RST 2WD — UNITED STATES SPECIFICATION

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

This unit is the rear-wheel-drive CC10906 body powered by the 5.3-litre L84 EcoTec3 V8 — a naturally aspirated 90-degree overhead-valve engine of 5,327 cc with direct injection and Dynamic Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. Output is 355 hp (265 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 383 lb-ft (519 Nm) at 4,100 rpm. Drive reaches the rear axle only, through a 10-speed automatic transmission with Electronic Precision Shift, a mechanical limited-slip differential (RPO G86) and automatic stop/start. It is NOT the four-wheel-drive car: there is no transfer case, and the kerb weight, GVWR and axle ratings below are the 2WD figures and differ from the 4WD build.

CHASSIS, STEERING AND BRAKES

Independent short/long-arm front suspension and an independent multi-link rear axle, fitted with the RST Premium Smooth Ride suspension tune. Steering is electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion. Braking is by power-assisted four-wheel discs with Duralife rotors. Wheels are 22-inch bright machined with high-gloss black painted pockets, on 275/50R22 tyres.

DIMENSIONS AND CAPACITIES

Overall length 5,748 mm (226.3 in); width 2,057 mm (81.0 in) excluding mirrors; height 1,946 mm (76.6 in); wheelbase 3,406 mm (134.1 in). Kerb weight 2,508 kg (5,530 lb), distributed 1,285 kg front and 1,223 kg rear. Gross vehicle weight rating 3,447 kg (7,600 lb) with a payload allowance of 939 kg (2,070 lb); gross combined weight rating 6,350 kg (14,000 lb); gross axle weight ratings 1,678 kg front and 1,950 kg rear. Cargo volume is 1,175 litres (41.5 cu ft) behind the third row, 2,656 litres (93.8 cu ft) behind the second row and 4,093 litres (144.5 cu ft) with both rear rows folded. Fuel tank 106 litres (28.0 US gal). Chevrolet publishes no ground-clearance figure for this configuration, so none is stated here.

EXTERIOR

Finished in Sterling Gray Metallic. The RST appearance treatment brings black bowties and black nameplate badging, a black grille, LED headlamps and tail lamps with animated lighting, LED front fog lamps and a dual exhaust with dual tips. Heated power-folding outside mirrors, power running boards, roof rails and a hands-free power liftgate are fitted, along with the factory trailering equipment and hitch.

INTERIOR AND SEATING

Seven seats in three rows over a Jet Black interior with Victory Red accent stitching. The front seats are heated power buckets in perforated leather seating surfaces with memory settings for the driver seat and outside mirrors. The second row is a pair of captain's chairs with power release — a factory option on this build that replaces the standard 60/40 split bench, which is why this car seats seven rather than eight. The second-row outboard seats are heated. The third row is a 60/40 split bench with power fold. Tri-zone automatic climate control, a heated steering wheel and an auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror are fitted, and the car carries all-weather floor liners for all three rows plus an all-weather cargo mat.

INFOTAINMENT AND CONNECTIVITY

A 17.7-inch diagonal advanced colour LCD display runs Google built-in with navigation capability and connected apps, paired with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Audio is a 10-speaker Bose Centerpoint surround sound system with SiriusXM satellite radio on trial subscription. Wireless device charging, two 120-volt power outlets, keyless open/lock/start with key card, remote vehicle start, a universal home remote and eight years of OnStar basics are included. An interior camera is installed and activates with a future software update.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE AND SAFETY

Enhanced automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian and bicyclist braking, forward collision alert, enhanced lane keep assist with lane departure warning, rear cross traffic braking, rear pedestrian alert, blind zone steering assist, adaptive cruise control, IntelliBeam automatic high beams, HD Surround Vision, enhanced automatic parking assist, the Safety Alert Seat, StabiliTrak stability and traction control, brake assist and a theft-deterrent system. Airbag coverage includes driver and front passenger frontal, front seat-mounted side-impact, a front centre airbag and head-curtain protection across all three rows. NHTSA had not published an overall star rating for the 2026 Suburban when this offer was created, so no rating is claimed.

TOWING AND CAPABILITY

The Max Trailering Package is fitted, adding an integrated trailer brake controller, hitch view, the smart trailer integration indicator, an enhanced cooling radiator and blind zone steering assist calibrated for trailering, on top of the standard trailering equipment and hitch. Gross combined weight rating is 6,350 kg (14,000 lb). Chevrolet's trailer-weight table for this exact engine/axle/drive combination could not be retrieved, so no maximum trailer weight is asserted.

FUEL ECONOMY AND EMISSIONS

EPA ratings are 15 mpg city, 20 mpg highway and 17 mpg combined (approximately 13.8 L/100 km). The federal fuel-economy label states 530 grams of CO2 per mile, which converts to approximately 329 g/km. That is a US EPA test-cycle figure and is not interchangeable with a WLTP or NEDC homologation number; destinations that tier duty on WLTP CO2 will need a separate figure.

FACTORY BUILD AND OPTIONS ON THIS UNIT

Standard vehicle price USD 71,700, factory and dealer-installed options USD 3,690, destination charge USD 2,795, for a manufacturer's suggested retail price of USD 78,185.
