5 Reasons Drivers Love the 2021 Chevy Suburban

5 Reasons Drivers Love the 2021 Chevy Suburban

The 2021 Chevy Suburban has an array of impressive features that make drivers fall in love with it. Its engine is powerful, its cargo space is ample, and it underwent several upgrades from year's model. There are lots of reasons that this is a driver-favorite, but we'll focus on the five main reasons today.

1. Its Spacious, Comfortable Third Row

Unfortunately, there are tons of competitor vehicles on the market that have a horribly cramped third-row. Chevy vehicles rarely have this problem. There's plenty of space for adults to sit in the third row of the Chevy Suburban, but in competitors, the third row is usually only suitable for kids. This year's Suburban has an independent rear suspension, and that helps make sitting in the third row more comfortable, too.

2. Powerful Engine Options

The Chevy Suburban has one of the best selections of engines on the market. You can choose from two V8 engines and a sturdy six-cylinder diesel pick. These engines are complimented nicely by the rear-wheel or all-wheel-drive options. The engines and drive options pack the Chevy Suburban with tons of power, and busy families that frequently tow heavy loads really won't want to miss out on that.

3. The Cargo Area Is Huge

Having a large cargo area is vital. There are many reasons that you may need to transport large amounts of gear, whether you're taking a road trip or bulk-buying groceries. That's why the Chevy Suburban was designed to offer you a spacious 145 cubic feet to place your gear in.

You can acquire this space by folding the second and third rows down. That lets you fill almost the entire vehicle with your gear. The recent redesign and the addition of an independent rear suspension really helped the Chevy Suburban achieve such a large amount of usable cargo space, and that's something that we have to applaud.

4. It Tows Incredibly Well

Sometimes you need to transport gear that simply won't fit in the expansive cargo area. That's fine, as the Chevy Suburban is a mighty towing machine. The maximum towing capacity depends on the trim you choose, but it ranges from 7,500 pounds to 8,300 pounds. This is noteworthy, as most mid-size pickups can transport a maximum of 7,500 pounds.

If your SUV can carry heavier loads than pick-up trucks, then you know that you're well ahead of the other SUVs on the market.

5. The Ride is Perfectly Smooth

The independent rear suspension adds superior overall ride quality to the Chevy Suburban, and it makes the ride quality feel better than it does in competitor vehicles. The vehicle easily absorbs bumps and other road imperfections, and overall you'll have a stable, balanced journey.

The handling is also pleasantly above-average, so you'll have an enjoyable drive whether you're the driver or the passenger. The Suburban truly has an overall pleasant smoothness to its ride quality.
