General Motors’ next-gen full-size SUVs have finally dropped cover, but unfortunately, the lineup currently does not include any high-performance model variants. Naturally, we saw this as an opportunity to dream up our own version of a hot-to-trot GM SUV, previously posting our digital rendering of a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe SS. Now, we’re applying the same go-fast gloss to the ‘Burban, and the result is this 2022 Chevy Suburban SS.
Just like the Tahoe SS we published previously, there are currently no official plans to create a Chevy Suburban SS, with some discussions surrounding the prospect of such a vehicle, but nothing approved as of yet. As such, we did this rendering just for fun.
So then, the questions is this – what does our 2022 Chevy Suburban SS rendering have to offer?
For starters, it looks the part of a performance utility thanks to a lowered stance, with the body hunched over large alloy wheels wrapped in performance rubber. The wheels and tires are both wider than the standard Chevy Suburban, and come with a black finish that complements a number of black accents throughout.
The grille is blacked out, as are the running boards, the latter of which double as side skirts for aero purposes. The roof rails and DLO treatment are also black. An SS badge can be found on the door, and quad exhaust pipes are mounted in back.
The main party piece is the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 engine, which hits the pavement by way of 4WD grip. The suspension gets Magnetic Ride Control and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension for the lowered ride height and improved handling.
As a reminder, the standard Chevrolet Suburban was re-engineered and redesigned for the 2021 model year, slotting in as the 12th generation for the nameplate. Customers are offered three engine options, including the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87, and the turbodiesel 3.0L I6 LM2 Duramax. The latest Chevy Suburban is built on the all-new T1 platform, and is produced at the GM Arlington plant in Arlington, Texas. Production kicked off earlier this month.

First, Let’s get the 2021 out to dealerships in Southern California so I can buy it! Then start talking about the 2022! 🙄
I ordered the 2021 on Feb 14th through my dealer. Tired of waiting. I don’t want to hear about any 2022 until I get my long awaited 2021!
I Am Not Interested In A 2021 But A 2022 Suburban SS With Those Options I Would Be!!
Now That Is What I Am Talking About. If GM Had Any Sense Of What Would Be Great They Would Offer It But Knowing GM After A Lifetime Of Buying Their Vehicles They Would Overprice It Out Of Existence!
Why not a Trailblazer SS with a turbo V6 or even the Camaro’s V6 version with over 330 hp instead of this Hugh Suburban ?
How About All 3??
I rise like a trout to a fly for these sorts of stories. I don’t like these vehicles as low-slung items. The only one which I believe pulls it off is a few Durangos I’ve seen.
Since I off-road with mine I’m looking for ground clearance for driving on sand or in the snow. I just received notification that my Yukon Denali XL will be delivered to the dealer on Thursday, August 27th so that’s something to look forward to. I didn’t expect it until mid-to-late-September.
Just out of curiosity, did you order the Premium or Ultimate Denali package?
The reason I ask is the new “Premium Capability Package With Active Response 4WD” (F47 Adaptive Air Ride Suspension & G96 Electronic Limited-Slip Differential) is holding up mine. I was told they were supposed to start building mine yesterday. I haven’t heard yet if that is true.
That’s what I was told was holding mine up too. Not that it would have been issue for me unless it would have been held up until October. I’d read a story recently where COVID-19 was making a resurgence in that plant and also affecting some suppliers. They must have gotten the situation under control.
I had heard that they’re only operating at 25%, in the TX plant due to Covid-19. I was told that it will take 90 days to build. If that is holding true, I’m looking at late October, at the earliest. I hope yours arrives on schedule.
Thank you very much. I realize that the situation there is difficult and I hope that for everyone’s sake there’s some positive movement soon. My vehicle, ultimately, can wait.
Hi. Sorry to bother you. May I ask what trim level you ordered? I ordered the Yukon XL Denali – Premium Trim package. Due to the fact that the Ultimate Trim package is not available yet.
After your post, I spoke to my dealer again today, and he just got the following alert.
He said that GM will still not accept my order (that I placed in June), due to the special features like “Premium Capability Package With Active Response 4WD” (F47 Adaptive Air Ride Suspension & G96 Electronic Limited-Slip Differential)” won’t be starting production, until the weeks of Sept 7th thru Oct 11th (Phase 2 of production).
I know that package is included in the Ultimate Trim, but since the Premium Trim was all that was available to order…I ordered that package separately. Therefore, my order can’t be placed yet.
How about a Buick GN instead of an SS boxcar
Where Would This Country Be Without The Boxcar?
that is a bad to the bone suburban and the color is great
And how do you expect this to compare to the upcoming electric Hummer?
I would bet the Hummer would be much faster.
The new Hummer is probably the reason why we will never see a Tahoe SS.
Love it.
Cool. Go for it…!!!
I’ve been waiting for the 2021’s also. When are they supposed to get to dealers?
Haven’t we been through this before…? GM has said openly that SS full size suburbans or Tahoe’s are not likely. Even though I would think they’d probably sell pretty well. If they put a gob of power in them like the Jeep track hawk… but an extra 20hp and an increase in price of $20,000 will NOT sell.
And to the moron that compared the “New HUMMER “ to this. First of all I have doubts that the new Hummer will be anything anyone wants let alone be able to afford. I own a Hummer H2 and I love it. I know several people with Hummer vehicles as well and NO ONE is even remotely excited about an electric Hummer. Everyone was hoping for a DIESEL ENGINE. A real one… Not a four banger… And as if that weren’t enough… They are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS ALL TOGETHER! The Hummer is a pickup and suburban is a full size suv. They are two substantially different markets entirely. Plus! The fact that one is gas and the other electric… also puts them squarely in completely opposing markets
CHEVY HAS A SUBURBAN SS, DODGE HAS A HELLCAT DURANGO, MUSTANG. WHERE YOU AT!!!
Talking about ordering a 2021 Suburban, we special ordered one on January 20, 2021 – came in March and GM deleted all the options that we ordered, and expected us to buy it and save $7000. We reordered in mid-March 2021 – and were told to expect it July. We might be doing good to see it in September with the chip shortage, along with all the other shortages! Wonder when they will start building the 2022…..
