Space for Nine, Power for Anything, Tech for Everyone—Meet the 2026 Suburban

2026 Chevrolet Suburban

At the Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we understand what families need in a full-size SUV. You want space to stretch out, power to move with confidence, safety you can trust, and style that turns heads. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban, an SUV that has been the gold standard for nearly a century. Since its debut in 1935, the Suburban has carried generations with confidence. Today, it continues that legacy with more strength, technology, and versatility than ever before.

Built for Families Who Do It All

The Suburban is a vehicle made for real life. Whether your weekend includes a soccer tournament, a lake trip with the boat, or a family vacation across the country, the 2026 model is ready. Few SUVs can match its blend of brawn and comfort.

Under the hood, you’ll find a lineup of powerhouse engines designed to fit your lifestyle. The standard 5.3-liter V8 delivers the muscle most families need, while the available 6.2-liter V8 steps up performance for those who crave extra punch. For efficiency and impressive torque, Chevy’s turbo-diesel option is hard to beat, perfect for towing or long-haul trips. All pair with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring effortless acceleration and highway cruising.

Chevy also put serious thought into ride quality. With its long wheelbase and available Magnetic Ride Control, the Suburban delivers a surprisingly smooth and refined drive, even over uneven pavement. And for those who spend hours on the highway, Super Cruise, Chevy’s hands-free driving system, makes long trips easier, safer, and less stressful.

What’s New for 2026

The Suburban received a full refresh in 2025, and the 2026 model builds on that momentum with smart new updates. Chevy has added a Key Card system, which lets you access and start the SUV without a traditional fob, handy when your hands are full. Another standout feature is Cabin Glance, an interior camera system that lets you monitor what’s happening in the second and third rows from the driver’s seat.

On the design front, buyers will love the new RST Dark Essentials appearance package, which adds a sleek, bold look with darkened accents. Updated paint colors and wheel options give you even more ways to make the Suburban fit your personality.

Interior Designed Around You

Step inside the Suburban, and it’s clear this SUV was built for families who value both comfort and convenience. With seating for up to nine passengers, it’s one of the few vehicles on the road that can match the capacity of a minivan, without sacrificing power, style, or capability.

The third row isn’t just for kids either. Adults will find generous legroom, making long trips comfortable no matter where you sit. When it comes to cargo, the Suburban shines brightest: with up to 144.5 cubic feet of space, it leads the class. Whether you’re hauling sports gear, camping supplies, or moving furniture, you’ll never run out of room.

Chevy didn’t stop at space. The Suburban’s cabin is loaded with smart technology. Every model features a 17.7-inch touchscreen and an 11-inch digital gauge cluster. The infotainment system is both sharp-looking and intuitive, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Options like Bose premium audio, a head-up display, and a power-sliding center console elevate the driving experience even further.

Power and Capability

While many SUVs boast about strength, the Suburban backs it up with real-world capability. With a towing capacity of up to 8,200 pounds, this SUV is more than capable of pulling a camper, boat, or trailer. Chevy also includes smart towing technologies that make the process safer and easier. Features like Boat Ramp Assist and Trailer Navigation give drivers added confidence, even in tricky situations.

Safety Comes Standard

At the Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we know peace of mind is at the top of every family’s list. The 2026 Suburban delivers with a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Advanced driver-assist features like automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and HD Surround Vision come standard, helping you feel protected on every drive.

Why the Suburban Stands Out

After spending countless hours driving and evaluating Chevy’s flagship SUV, here’s what always rises to the top:

  • Seating for nine: The ultimate choice for big families or those who need flexibility.

  • Next-level technology: From massive screens to wireless connectivity, everything feels seamless.

  • Hands-free convenience: The power liftgate saves time when your arms are full.

  • Super Cruise: Transforms long drives into stress-free experiences.

  • Unmatched cargo room: No need to choose between people and gear; you get both.

The Mid Missouri Powerhouse Promise

We know from many years of experience that families live life on the go. You deserve an SUV that can keep up. The 2026 Chevrolet Suburban is that SUV: spacious, powerful, safe, and packed with features that make every drive easier and every journey more enjoyable.

At the Mid Missouri Powerhouse, we’re more than just a dealership; we’re your partners in finding the perfect vehicle for your lifestyle. If you’re ready for an SUV that blends strength, brains, and comfort like no other, the 2026 Suburban is waiting for you.

Road Warrior, Home Hero: The 2025 Tahoe RST Performance Edition Powers It All

2025 Chevy Tahoe

Not many SUVs can claim to be the trusted choice for big families, law enforcement, and even shadowy characters from TV dramas. Picture this: three sleek, black Chevy SUVs with dark-tinted windows pulling into your driveway. You never know who might step out—perhaps a crew of hard-boiled detectives or someone with a cinematic flair at the Mid-MO Powerhouse

These full-size SUVs pack serious muscle under the hood with their V8 engines, paired with a versatility that feels tailor-made for Costco runs, road trips, or just tackling life’s everyday adventures. A chance to get behind the wheel of the refreshed 2025 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe offered a perfect way to see what’s new. Two days cruising through the lively streets of Dallas/Fort Worth revealed that Chevy knows its recipe for success. The tweaks? Subtle but effective—because when something works this well, the only thing left to do is make it even better.

The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban are here, and they’ve packed in some exciting updates without losing any of the features that make them family and adventure favorites. Let’s dive into what’s new:

  • Fresh Looks: Each trim gets a unique grille design paired with sleek LED headlamps.

  • Stylish Wheels: New designs across all trims, with eye-catching 24-inch options for the RST and High Country models.

  • Hands-Free Convenience: The new optional AutoSense Power Liftgate makes loading up a breeze—just walk up with the key fob, and the rear hatch opens for you.

  • Tech Boost: A stunning 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen and instrument cluster are now standard, with an optional 15-inch head-up display for even more tech-savvy convenience.

  • Super Cruise: Chevy’s hands-free driving system is now available for LT and RST trims, making long trips smoother and stress-free.

  • Diesel Upgrade: The 3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel V6 now delivers a powerful 305 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque and is available with the rugged Z71 Off-Road Package.

When it comes to performance, the Tahoe and Suburban keep their tried-and-true powertrains, including two gasoline V8s and the updated diesel option. Each engine works seamlessly with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive is ready to tackle anything the road—or trail—throws at you.

With these updates, the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban continue to shine as versatile, stylish, and powerful options for families, road-trippers, and adventurers alike.

Taking the Tahoe RST Performance Edition out on the highway is a treat for anyone who loves a roaring V8. Even amid Dallas traffic, the urge to hit the gas and hear that engine growl is irresistible. This SUV is a true sleeper—most wouldn’t notice the upgraded brakes or the subtle RST badge, with its blacked-out "T," unless they know what to look for.

For those who want a muscle car vibe but need space for carpool duty, this is a fantastic option. With seating for up to nine, including belts in every row, it’s ready to handle little league practice or a family road trip. Plus, the cargo area is spacious enough to hold luggage for everyone onboard.

Still Dominating the Road
Even with those striking 24-inch wheels, the ride remains incredibly smooth. You’d think larger wheels might sacrifice comfort, but GM’s engineers have worked their magic on the suspension. Bumps, potholes, and uneven roads are barely noticeable, ensuring passengers enjoy a serene ride no matter what the road throws their way.

Tow-tally Awesome: 2024 Chevy Suburban Remains Efficient, Roomy & Road-Trip Ready

2024 Chevy Suburban High Country
A diesel engine excitedly placed under the hood of a hefty hauling and locomotive-shaped truck could now be considered a common and not-too-unique formula. But it’s safe to say that there are so many very individual and standout traits of the 2024 Chevy Suburban here just in time for spring at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse! Since the Suburban also happens to be roomy and up to current luxury standards, many eyes are on it as it prepares to go electric. 

We recognize that the dimensions of the Suburban are still a bit surprising for a vehicle that would be an excellent daily driver, but it does not have the persona of a late-1990s artifact in the least! Some of the world’s highest-grossing box office hits, crazes such as Pokémon, and a few riveting outer space missions have all shaped up within the Suburban’s illustrated lifeline, and any diehard car fan can leave room in their spacious heart concerning a vehicle seating up to nine!

The writers on staff at Autoweek claimed that the Suburban is “pretty close t
o all the SUV you can buy from GM if you don’t necessarily desire the visibility of driving an Escalade”, then joking that its chrome reflections could blind pilots high above. The base level offers the 5.3-liter V8 as standard, with the High Country trim paired with “something wicked, winning, and warrior-like”! This is the 6.2-liter gas V8, with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque on tap. But the true shining star in the lineup as far as efficiency and torque-rich prowess is the 3.0-liter Duramax inline-6, cranking out 277 horsepower and offering a superb 26 mpg on the highway. 

EPA figures are right around 22 mpg combined and 20 mpg around town, which are better than you’ll see in either of the other V8s. The Autoweek team spent an entire week driving the diesel version, and eagerly claimed that this engine has “a very deliberate character, which rewards more gradual throttle inputs.” The throttle’s distinct and coarse hum calls for a driving style that is less aggressive and unhurried. The diesel model does not ever come up short regarding power, with the ability to conquer highway on ramps just as simple as picking up Tosy flying discs or Hatchimal toys left in the rear rows! 

With its longer wheelbase and very robust four-wheel chassis, the Suburban has a way of nicely settling down into its top gear mode and moving along quietly with the quite comforting hum of the diesel still faintly audible. This is all surprisingly not distracting, and the interior offers good enough insulation for relaxing trips and a 600+ mile range between refueling. Much like its large-rig counterparts, the Suburban feels the steadiest while hauling or towing, so some friends and family along for the ride or a boat lagging behind offers up the best experience. 

The High Country trim offers two seats in the middle row that can stow and tip forward, along with a pair of very cool 12.6-inch screens for offering long-journey entertainment. After completing navigation tactics and finding some tunes, this testing crew agreed that the infotainment system was unobtrusive and satisfyingly simple. The CarPro review team was quick to share what their favorite feature of the 2024 Chevy Suburban was: there’s an electronic switch that conveniently slides the console back to get cupholders in the rear closer to thirsty 3rd-row passengers!

2023 Chevy Suburban High-Country Leads XXL Segment with Supreme Hauling Ability, Impressive Technology

 


Even though there have been so many various movements to shrink sizes, conserve fuel, and lessen carbon footprints worldwide, all of us here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse firmly recognize that there’s still a healthy and deep-seeded need for heavy haulers. The 2023 Chevy Suburban is a widely appealing and capable family SUV that boasts not only the best in technology but the added luxury touch to sway buyers who are seeking the finer things in life.

The High Country is the top-of-the-line trim that blends innovative features, practical capability, and high-end touches to offer one of the most sought-after SUVs today. It’s all tied together perfectly with the powertrain presence in the form of an old-school V8-powered body-on-frame SUV, which results in the perfect balance of the future and the functional force of the past. Proudly kept on as one of the longest continuous-running nameplates in the industry, the Suburban traces its roots back to its introduction in 1934.

Bearing a strong resemblance and form of functionality to the original model, the 2023 Suburban can easily lug all your possessions, pets, and then some, along with towing a trailer to boot. Drivers have told us here at the Powerhouse that they love the outright capability of a truck along with the ride quality and interior trimmings of a luxury vehicle, with many claiming it’s the most capable vehicle out there right now. This year’s model also boasts independent rear suspension to offer first-class ride quality and interior comfort.

Making things easier during every drive has been a very innovative and useful benefit of today’s vehicles, and GM’s Super Cruise is an excellent means of taking the Suburban to another intelligent level. If your eyes are situated in an alert position, you’ll be enjoying hands-free driving on digitally mapped regions nationwide, saving valuable energy for your destination. The 6.2-liter ECOTEC 3 V-8 engine enthusiastically cranks out 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft of torque, which is recognized as a significant upgrade over the 5.3-liter V8 that offers 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft of torque.

This capable engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with a unique quality of smoothness and precision. This match made in heaven of a classic and high-performing engine with a very modern transmission is a pair that is consistently complementing each other during performance and makes the Suburban the ruling giant it is. This coveted display of ability is sufficient to throttle the 6,121-lb High Country model up to 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds.

EPA fuel ratings are situated at 14 mpg city and 18 mpg on the highway for a combined EPA rating of 16 mpg. With the expertly engineered aid of Magnetic campers and Air Ride, the 2023 Suburban High Country is widely known for offering the best ride quality of any currently offered SUV. As conditions change even within the frequently challenging confines of the city limits, you can add ground clearance on a whim for heightened capability. Once you are ready to park, the Suburban can lower down simply to make getting in and out easier.

On top of making the challenges of off-roading easier, the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension can lower the Suburban even while cruising at speeds over 65 mph to improve fuel economy. It also makes the Suburban a fully-fledged load-leveling master, even while handling massive cargo up to 8,300 lbs. If you are seeking an ultimate family car that is easy to live with and tough enough to meet daunting demands, the Suburban is a time-tested Powerhouse favorite!

2022 Chevy Suburban Surpasses The 200,000 Mile Mark in Star-Studded Style: GM Authority Reports

One of the vehicles we have always had loads of appreciation here for at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse is the 2022 Chevy Suburban, which has enjoyed the success of being one of the longest-lasting nameplates in existence. Enjoying the royal clout of its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and then some, our esteemed blogger experts on duty at GM Authority recently provided the scoop on how this full-size SUV has many times been able to pass the 200,000-mile mark while remaining resilient and ultimately trustworthy!

One of the other great sources that we used was the iSeeCars website, which recently published their decidedly-chosen list of Top 15 Longest-Lasting Cars. These are based strictly upon the percentage of registered vehicles of a particular nameplate that have driven over 200,000 miles, which determined that 6.6 percent of all Chevy Suburban models registered in the U.S. today deem it as the third-longest-lasting vehicle on the market. The Suburban is currently enjoying its second model year of the latest twelfth-generation nameplate, also offering up 8,300 lbs of towing capacity when equipped with the 6.2-Liter V8 L87 gas engine and 4-wheel drive. 

As the wild continues to call and you are looking for the toughest in trailering and hauling capability, the NHT Max Trailering Package now throws in the Advanced Trailering Package content, Enhanced cooling radiator, and 4-wheel drive LS, LT, and RST models will also receive the two-speed transfer case. Proudly assembled at the GM Arlington plant in Texas, the Suburban also enjoyed the second model year’s expanded availability of the optional Brembo brake package, coming at you hot with 6-piston Brembo Brake Upgrade and Color Matched Rear Calipers, available on all trim levels as well as the fleet version of the 2022 Chevy Tahoe and 2022 Chevy Suburban

The brand-new RST Model hits the streets this year on Vossen HF6-4 Wheels, with a tinted Gloss Black finish and split-spoke design that adds the perfectly aggressive vibe to the Satin Steel Metallic paint perfectly. The RST Trim also provides an awesome Jet Black interior and Victory Red stitching, monochromatic Black grille with Black Ice inserts, and black front fascia along with Black Ice Chrome rear applique. 

Any driver out there on the road looking for an everyday option that is great at instilling a large-sized mover with the likes of an incredibly special powertrain such as the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 L87 is going to love the 2022 Chevy Suburban handles. Truly defining space with a purpose for the future, you’ll enjoy features such as a first-in-class power sliding center console and being on board the most versatile and advanced generation of Suburban ever. There are six unique trims on tap to fit your specific lifestyle, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels as well as offering up premium features that work overtime to save you energy such as the class-leading and revolutionary Dynamic Fuel Management.
