The 2011 Chevy Suburban: A Large And Powerful SUV

The 2011 Chevy Suburban is one of the most known and established SUV's on the market. Most would expect such a large and heavy vehicle to run a bit sluggish or be slow when it comes to acceleration but the Suburban isn't! It's quite fast and nimble for such a big ride with enough room to seat eight to nine people, so it's perfect for large families who plan to tow heavy objects on a regular basis. Some buyers might be turned off by the fact that this vehicle doesn't have the best gas mileage; however that is to be expected by a vehicle of this size with heavy towing capabilities.

Let's take a look at all the features that are available according to trim. There are three trim levels to choose from. All models come standard with slick 17" wheels, front seats that are power adjustable for ultimate comfort, a dual climate control system and a Bluetooth system that allows you to place and receive phone calls without taking your hands off the steering wheel. The mid-level LT trim comes with seats appointed in leather and a state-of-the-art sound system. The interior on all trims is upscale; high quality materials have been used throughout the cabin.

Buyers get to choose from the type of engines they want; there is a super powerful 8 cylinder and a less sedate 6 cylinder engine. The V6 is equipped with 352 horsepower and 382 lb feet of torque while the V8 6.0 Liter outputs 320 hp and 382 lb feet of torque. As mentioned earlier, gas mileage isn't the Suburban's strong point. It receives 10 miles per gallon in the city and 16 miles per gallon on the freeway. The upscale LTZ trim is equipped with heated seats and a rearview camera. Another available option is the liftgate which comes in quite handy when you need to load and unload heavy items.

Plenty of safety features have been included such as passenger and driver air bags, On Star Automatic Crash Response, rear parking assist and remote vehicle standard. A traction control system is in place to help keep the vehicle stable. Cargo space is impressive; a total of 45.8 cubic feet of cargo space is available which can be expanded to 137.4 cubic feet with the third row of seats removed and the second row folded down.

The Chevy Suburban is perfect if you drive a lot of people around on a regular basis and need the ability to tow. If you don't plan on towing and just need a large SUV that can transport a large number of people there are other large vehicles on the market with better mileage. Pricing starts at $41,335 for the base model.
