General Motors is just hours away from unveiling full details on the next-gen 2021 Chevrolet Suburban, and now we have the very first images of the all-new SUV straight from the reveal event in Detroit.
The Chevrolet Suburban nameplate will celebrate its 85th anniversary in 2020, making it the longest-running nameplate in automotive history. The new 2021 model year ushers in a fresh 12th generation, which features all-new styling.
As we can see, the 2021 Chevrolet Suburban comes with an all-new fascia design. The headlamps, grille section, and bumper are completely different from the previous model, with new C-shaped lighting signatures below horizontal forward-facing lamps. The aesthetic looks wider and more aggressive than before, and brings the new Suburban in line with the rest of the Chevrolet range.
The 2021 Chevrolet Suburban looks just as boxy as before from the side view, with loads of straight lines and chunky features. The stance is high, and the wheels are big. Black trim bits complement the large styling features, and roof rails can be seen along the upper edge of the vehicle.
In back, we find the 2021 Chevrolet Suburban sporting quad exhaust tips, while the upright taillamps stretch up towards the roofline. The rear end is just as boxy as before, while lower black trim finishes it off.
The reveal event also brought out a new 2021 Chevrolet Suburban High Country trim level. More details on this to follow.
In addition to revealing the new Chevrolet Suburban, GM is also unveiling the updated fifth-generation 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, which is closely related to the Suburban in terms of architecture and mechanicals. Both models will run GM’s all-new T1 vehicle platform, and will feature an independent rear suspension, which is a significant upgrade over the older models’ K2 architecture and solid rear axle with multi-link setup.
Stay tuned, as we’ll have all the official details posted soon. Until then, make sure to subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevrolet Suburban news, Chevrolet news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Uggh sorry all but they ruined them. Maybe it will grow on me.
Introducing the Chevy Sequoia!!, J/k.
It will continue to be a leader.
Chevrolet is set to win big in the full-size BOF SUV segment with their new Suburban and Tahoe. They’re set to leapfrog their competitors in their segment, including the new Ford Expedition in terms of cargo capacity, efficiency, and value in this segment. Their new Suburban and Tahoe are game changers for large SUVs.
That interior falls short from what I see so far.
Meh, I don’t like it. Looks like a Silverado with a melted off front end and the profile looks like the Expedition. Interior could be better, but considering the lack of competition I’m not surprised. Heck, I think the older interior was better.
Well duh……of course the profile looks like the expedition…how ignorant can you get, GM has had the same basic profile for how many years and expedition came along in 2018 and adapted to that profile. For GM it’s a continuation of a design (profile) that has been very successful for them. With fords inability to have a great success with the expedition so they finally copy GM with styling cues then someone turns around and say GM copied the expedition is a disgrace aside from exposing your ignorance
That front end is bad. It looks bad on the Silverado and looks bad here. It’s those goofy side air scoops. The current one is better.. I also think it needs the round wheel wells like the truck has.
Haha, I always love all the comments on the front ends of cars and trucks upon release. “This is awful, this is fugly, what were they thinking,” all that stuff. Reality is, it takes the best parts of the Silverado/Camaro/Blazer front fascias and keeps them, while tossing the bad parts. It looks good, not offensive, not overdone, and undeniably Chevy.
“This is awful, this is fugly, what were they thinking,” except in the case of the recent Camaro refresh and many other car brands, those criticism ring true, and DO indeed hurt sales.
The Camaro was in a sales tailspin well before the refresh. Look at the sales figures, they were dropping well before the new design came out. That’s because people are tired of a car that has looked essentially the same down the side and around the back since 2010, with an outdated and tight interior.
And even so, the Camaro SS refresh looked WAY worse than these, very different designs. The closer comparison to these, the Silverado, arguably looks worse and is still on pace to match last years sales figures, and that’s with an interior that took a clear step back AND a decline in car sales generally across the industry.
Except for the front end, it looks quite nice, at least in my view. I also noticed something else: the middle AC vents are back in the middle again; not mounted in such a way they blow on your knuckled while you’re driving. I can live without the Honda Odyssey screen “sail” sticking up, though.
Fog lamps or are they expecting the DRLs do the work?
I am happy GM kept it classic boxy shape. Iconic, iconic, iconic.
The high country looks good. Interior also looks good. Front end on the Z71 looks like s–t.
Wow! I think the New Tahoe and Suburban are a Grand Slam! I love the overall profile and anyone can find some styling que that reminds you of some other brand…just get over it to say they are copy cats…face it, Suburban is the pioneer of full size SUVs, and now, obviously it’s Legacy is going to live on stronger than ever, but while we are on the copycat thing, how many times have you heard some comment about the restyled expedition taking on the profile of the full size GMs, and what’s ironic with that is, supposedly for a time anyway, their sales increased. I think GM did what it took to stay ahead of the competition, I love the Styling, the added space and all the convenient features. Would I have tweeked some things here and there?, probably, but overall I think GM hit it out of the park! Can’t imagine what all the Escalade will add to all this!
Barf. Sorry, it looks like a brick with wheels and lights.
