Platform
Like all 11th-generation units of the Chevrolet Suburban, the 2019 Suburban continues to ride on GM’s GMT K2 platform shared with the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, as well as the Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac Escalade ESV. The same basic architecture is also used by the K2-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
Production
The 2019 Chevy Suburban is assembled by GM USA at the GM Arlington plant in Arlington, Texas, USA.
Availability
We expect the 2019 Suburban to follow the regular GM model year rollover sequence, and launch in the third quarter of the 2018 calendar year.
Beyond 2019
We expect that the 2019 model year will be the last year of production for the 11th-generation Chevy Suburban, and that an all-new, next Chevy Suburban will launch in the 2020-2021 model years.
