edmunds TESTED
The modernized 2022 Chevrolet Suburban has a smooth ride and simply massive cargo space, plus heaps of available technology. You can also choose from a trio of powerful engines. There is no getting around its size, however, and the price tag on higher trims can quickly become stratospheric.

It would be a 5 if not for Entertainment System
4 out of 5 starsDaniel, 01/07/2021
2021 Chevrolet Suburban LT 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
The Suburban is everything we wanted out of a vehicle for our growing family. We love the new independent suspension and the over all look and feel of the Suburban.
Now the bad the entertainment system is all based on HDMI plugs I tried everything to get it to work and the only thing that worked was a firestick. That is even shotty if you don't get the WIFI in the vehicle. The … headphones they gave us dont connect and we had to take it to a dealer to get them to work and they even had some issues with it.
We had to use other bluetooth headphones to work with the system.
But alas the cargo area is awesome, the panoramic sun roof is beautiful and the power is exactly what we needed for us!
Diesel Suburban - Best SUV Yet!
5 out of 5 starsVIN Diesel, 03/15/2022
2022 Chevrolet Suburban LT 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
We purchased a 2022 Diesel Suburban; it's been everything we expected and more. Very roomy, comfortable, yet handles more like a mid-sized SUV instead of the large BEAST it is. Diesel is the way to go too; great mileage, we're getting around 22 - 25 in mixed town driving, and closer to 30 on the freeway at about 75MPH. I expect it to get better as we get more miles on it and when … summer blended diesel fuel is available, still winter here in Michigan and the "winter blend" is still being sold a the pump; slightly less BTU's in the winder blend to keep it from gelling in cold weather.
An absolutely outstanding vehicle with nicer performance, comfort, power and amazing fuel economy. NOTE: Diesel was not an option in the selection, but this one is the 3.0 Straight 6 Diesel.
Didn't last over 5,000 miles

2021 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
Broke down on a road trip out of town, undrivable,in a Saturday I made it to a dealer but no mechanic on that day no rental cars available so stuck at a hotel till Monday with my dog. I bought it for multiple state travel but now I learned the engine has defect that will break down over and over even after fixed as I need to drive 3,000 Miles per month for next 3 months, first new Chevy … in 37 years of owning buying them never had any issues, so had to buy another car to get on my way for my son's graduation as I couldn't wait for repair to get done ,and can't trust engine in future for any more long distance travel.so I wasted 70,000 do not buy.
Multiple major issues within 6,000 miles

2021 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
Own a '21 Suburban Z71. Have had multiple recalls and issues with Lifting/Lowering System. Major issue with Engine Lifter going out at 5,000 miles. Spent 2 weeks in shop awaiting parts and repair for Lifters and Rods and Gaskets. Just picked it up YESTERDAY and now the same Warning Light is already going off again after 24 hours! We spent $73K on this piece of garbage.
Smaller … issues with Paint peeling off the front fender after the 1st week of purchase.
It looks awesome. Comfortable inside. But if it's in the shop all the time, it is useless.
GM will only give us $45 for a rental. They claim. I still have not seen the money yet from the last 2 week repair.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Chevrolet Suburban, so we've included reviews for other years of the Suburban since its last redesign.
