Buyers may or may not notice, but Chevrolet has upped the MSRP of its biggest SUV by $700 for the 2016 model year: the K2XX Suburban.
Shoppers will be asked to fork over $50,895 (plus $1,195 destination) for a base 2016 Suburban in LS trim, according to Edmunds. Step up to a mid-level LT model and you’ll be asked to shell out $55,925 (including shopping), a hike of $555 over the 2015 Suburban LT.
Meanwhile, buyers will have to dig deep for the LTZ model, which now stickers at $65,505, up $525 over a similarly equipped 2015. Ka-ching.
Thankfully, Suburban owners will get some added kit for their extra coin, like a reconfigurable gauge cluster, a head-up display (HUD), Intellibeam headlamps, Lane Keep Assist, a capless fuel-filler system, and more. Be sure to have a look at our full run-down for all the details.
While the 2016 Suburban does without the option of GM’s 6.2L EcoTec3 L86 V8 engine (its standalone engine option is the 5.3L V8), eight-speed transmission (the six-speed remains) or other features that higher-end GM SUVs enjoy, the MSRP hike remains relatively modest for the price.
We’re not sure if the price hike was well-timed, as sales for the Suburban were down by double digits in August 2015, and remain down year-over-year.

And if the Suburban/Tahoe are like the Yukon/Yukon XL, there are only like two standard colors and everything else is an option. To add additional insult, most of these colors have been around for awhile!
Doesn’t appear to be an issue on Suburban/Tahoe, applies only to the “upscale” Yukon/XL
