2021 Chevrolet Suburban Z71

The 2021 Suburban is Chevrolet's full-size SUV, offering seating for up to nine and a choice of rear- or four-wheel drive. It competes with the Ford Expedition, GMC Yukon, and Jeep Wagoneer in the large three-row SUV segment. The Suburban rides smoothly on the highway, though its size makes it feel less nimble in tight city streets. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, with generous cargo space behind the third row and a user-friendly infotainment system. The Z71 sits above the RST and below the Premier in the Suburban lineup, adding off-road gear like all-terrain tires and skid plates that the others lack. Its 5.3L V8 makes 355 horsepower and routes through a ten-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which pulls confidently from a stop and gets 17 mpg combined. The Z71's standard two-speed transfer case and hill descent control let you tackle gravel roads and trails you would not attempt in a standard Suburban.
