Back in May, GM officially announced that it will offer Super Cruise on the 2023 Chevy Tahoe and 2023 Chevy Suburban. However, shortly thereafter, the advanced, semi-autonomous driver assistant became unavailable to order as a result of a constraint, until now.
GM Authority has learned that Super Cruise is now available to order on both the 2023 Tahoe and Suburban. The feature is currently exclusive to the Premier and High Country trim levels.
The advanced driver assistant is included in the new Advanced Technology Package (PDN), which includes the following content on the Premier trim (relevant RPO code in parentheses):
- Super Cruise (UKL)
- Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist (UKZ)
- Reverse Automatic Braking (UVZ)
- HD Surround Vision (UV2)
- Head-Up Display (UV6)
- Rear Camera Mirror (DRZ)
- Rear Camera Mirror Washer (CWA)
- Rear Pedestrian Alert (UKK)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (KSG)
- Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking (UGN)
The 2023 Chevy Tahoe High Country and 2023 Chevy Suburban High Country trims already include most of the above features as standard. As a result, the Advanced Technology Package on High Country models includes:
- Super Cruise (UKL)
- Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist (UKZ)
- Reverse Automatic Braking (UVZ)
Pricing for the Advanced Technology Package has not yet been announced, but opting for the package requires the Max Trailering Package (RPO NHT), Rear Seat Media System (UW9) and either the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 engine or the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine.
Beside the introduction of Super Cruise and a few minor changes, the two full-size Chevy SUVs will be otherwise unchanged for the 2023 model year. The duo will continue to be offered with three powertrain options, including the 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, the 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax. The GM 10-speed automatic transmission remains paired to all three engines, with rear-wheel-drive standard and four-wheel-drive available for a price premium.
Both the Tahoe and Suburban ride on the GM T1 platform, with production taking place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas. Pricing for the 2023 model year Tahoe and Suburban has not yet been released by GM.

Be sure you have plenty of liability insurance if you plan to use this option. Your vehicle’s computer will rat you out after an accident and then you can plan on being sued for a large sum for distracted driving if you are at fault.
Well this is surprising 👍
What about the Escalade?
Don’t advertise a 2023 suburban we are ordered 2022 model in last November and we didn’t get yet.
So first deal with the 2022 model to ship to the customer
Super cruise is not auto-pilot let alone a driverless option. It doesn’t react to signals, signs, or lane changes so the driver must remain alert and in control at all times. Evidence shows that most drivers are less exhausted using advanced adaptive cruise control, collision warning, and lane maintaining features. The Ultimate cruise (not available) can actually cause more fatigue by adding the stress of worrying if the vehicle will react correctly to like lane changing avoid maneuvers and dealing other drivers unexpected actions. Here’s a concept: use the heads up display and voice controls, put away your map or texting device, and enjoy the scenery out in front of your vehicle (that is a big reason truckers enjoy their job).
Safety features should never require adding non-safety features. There is a reason that Max Trailering Package (RPO NHT) , Rear Seat Media System (UW9), and others are optional. Some owners do not want the stiffer ride that the Trailer package includes, the lower roof that comes with the sunroof, or the look of a entertainment system they will never use just to get features like Pedestrian Alert (UKK), Adaptive Cruise Control (KSG), or Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking (UGN).
