As a reminder, the current 2023 Chevy Suburban is motivated by three powerplant options. These include the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine providing 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine developing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax engine churning out 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
The GM 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to the wheels regardless of which engine option is under the hood. Available drivetrain configurations buyers can choose from include rear-wheel drive (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD).
Under the skin, the Chevy Suburban rides on the GM T1 platform which is notably also used for the Chevy Tahoe full-size SUV, while production takes place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.
