Family-Friendly Comfort and Versatility

Your family deserves a vehicle that’ll keep everyone comfortable and adapt to their needs, and the Chevrolet Suburban delivers on both fronts. Across model years, the Suburban boasts plush seating and user-friendly controls for convenience and a relaxed ride. Models from 2010 onward feature tri-zone climate control, which has become standard across all trims in recent years, ensuring comfort for everyone, regardless of the trim level you choose.

Versatility is another key strength. With multiple seating configurations and ample cargo space, you can easily switch between transporting passengers and hauling gear. The available power-folding second- and third-row seats make loading and unloading a breeze. Whether you’re heading to the beach or embarking on a weekend getaway, the Suburban’s thoughtful design ensures maximum convenience, giving you more time for fun.

 

Spacious Interior for Long Journeys

So, how big is a Suburban? With a width of 81.1 inches and a length of 225.7 inches, it can accommodate between seven and nine passengers comfortably, depending on the trim level and configuration. This flexibility makes it ideal for family trips, carpooling, or transporting sports teams to events.

Passengers in all three rows enjoy ample room, making even extended journeys across Florida enjoyable. Key interior dimensions in the 2024 Suburban include:

  • Headroom (front/second/third row): 42.3/38.9/38.2 inches

  • Shoulder room: 66.0/64.8/62.8 inches
  • Hip room: 61.5/61.3/49.4 inches

In terms of cargo capacity, the 2024 Suburban offers up to 144.7 cubic feet of storage with the second and third rows folded down. Older models also provide generous interior space, ensuring that you won’t feel cramped during those long drives.

 

Advanced Safety Features for Peace of Mind on the Road

Safety is a top priority when traveling with family, and the Suburban doesn’t disappoint. Newer models come equipped with advanced driver-assistance technologies such as lane-keep assist with lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control to let every Suburban driver navigate Florida’s roads with confidence and ease.

Even if you opt for an older model, such as the 2021 Suburban, you’ll still benefit from essential safety features such as rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision alert, and blind-spot monitoring. These systems work together to keep you aware of your surroundings and prevent potential accidents. With its strong safety reputation, the Suburban ensures that every family adventure is both fun and secure.

 

Entertainment Options To Keep Everyone Engaged

Long road trips can be challenging, especially with kids in tow. Thankfully, the Suburban’s infotainment options keep everybody entertained. Newer models feature large touch-screen displays, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and multiple USB ports to keep devices charged. Passengers can easily stream music, help with navigation, and stay connected throughout the journey. And if you choose the 2025 Suburban, you’ll be treated to a best-in-class 17.7-inch diagonal touch screen, wireless charging, and Google built-in services.

Older models may also include rear-seat entertainment systems with Blu-ray players and wireless headphones. The available Wi-Fi hot spot in newer models also allows passengers to browse the web, stream movies, and play games, making long drives feel shorter and more fun. You can be sure your passengers will always have something to do, helping you create the best SUV road trip experience.

 

Unmatched Towing and Performance Capabilities

Whether you’re towing a boat to Destin or hauling gear for a camping trip, the Suburban’s performance capabilities have you covered. Newer models, such as the 2024 Suburban, offer several engine options. For the 2024 model year, these include a 5.3L V-8 producing 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, a 6.2L V-8 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel delivering 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. These engines deliver impressive performance and maximum tow ratings of up to 8,300 pounds.

Older models, such as the 2019 Suburban, also offer robust performance, with similar engine options. Even models from 2015 and 2016 provide reliable towing capacities, ensuring that regardless of the model year, you’ll have the power you need for any Florida adventure. And when it comes to efficiency, the Suburban’s fuel economy ratings have improved over the years. EPA estimates for the 2024 two-wheel-drive Suburban reach a respectable 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, making going on trips more accessible than ever.

 

Additional Features

On top of all this, the Suburban offers additional features that make it a top choice for family road trips. These include:
