Choose From Six Different Trims Every driver has unique needs, and the Suburban accommodates these with six different trims, each with unique features. At the lower end, the LS offers three-zone climate control, keyless unlocking and engine start, a 10-inch touchscreen, and wireless systems to connect your mobile device such as Apple CarPlay. At the higher end, the High Country offers a 6.2-liter engine, heads-up display, and a rear camera mirror for when you're loaded up with luggage and can't see out the rear window. So whether you're already a proud SUV owner, or you're making the step up from a smaller vehicle, the Chevy Suburban is on hand to deal with whatever your needs are. People with large families will find plenty of room for all the kids and all their luggage too, and those looking for a vehicle that can transport huge quantities of luggage or materials will find room in the back.
