Need a full-size SUV that’s as big as or bigger than a Manhattan studio apartment? Great news—the 2021 Chevrolet Suburban starts at $52,995 in base LS trim, which is both exactly the same price as the pre-update 2020 Suburban and far cheaper than any New York City apartment. Chevrolet‘s pricing for the new ‘Burban (get the full picture here) isn’t official quite yet. The prices included here were highlighted by researchers at CarsDirect.com, who acquired an early dealer order guide for the 2021 Suburban.
The site also reports that the next-level-up LT trim starts at $57,795, the “sporty” RST starts at $61,095, the off-road-prepped Z71 at $63,195, and the fancy Premier will run $66,595. Four-wheel drive adds $3,000 to every Suburban price listed here. A trusty 5.3-liter V-8 that offers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque is standard. A 3.0-liter Duramax turbo diesel inline-six option is in the works, but you can’t have that now and will have to wait it out for the price. All powertrains are mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
But wait, there’s more! If you are looking for a top-shelf people and stuff hauler with a bow-tie badge, the 2021 Chevy Suburban High Country starts at $76,595. It trades the 5.3-liter used elsewhere in the lineup for a standard 6.2-liter V-8 that’s good for 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. As with the smaller, also redesigned Tahoe (the Suburban’s shorter-wheelbase sibling), the Suburban’s pricing is essentially the same as before. Also as with the Tahoe, the Suburban’s MSRPs place it nearly in luxury vehicle territory, at least on the high end of the lineup—even though it’s larger than similarly priced SUVs such as Mercedes-Benz’s GLS-Class and BMW’s X7.
Like the smaller Tahoe, the 2021 Suburban receives a thorough update that includes an independent multilink rear suspension, a longer wheelbase, and most importantly—more room for passengers. The Suburban increases by 5.8 cubic feet to 181.9 cubes for a roomier ride. The cargo space behind the third-row seats grows 1.8 cubic feet to a total of 41.1 cubes for all your loot.
Inside, all trims get a standard 10-inch infotainment screen and twin 12.6-inch media displays are available for the massive rear seats to keep the kids happy. If you like what you see, Chevy is discounting the 2020 models now or you can wait for a shiny new 2021 model to arrive this summer. Either way, we’ll be updating this page in the future with final prices when Chevrolet reveals them officially.
