What's New in the 2016 Chevrolet Suburban?
Despite major updates last year, the Suburban makes a few important changes for 2016. This includes a newly available reconfigurable gauge cluster, a heads-up display and a new lane-keep assist feature. The SUV adds some new colors and loses its standard CD player.
Which Suburban is the Best?
The best value for your money is the LT trim. It costs about $5,000 more than the base LS, but it has more features, plus a doorway to a more robust option list. The LTZ's magnetic ride control feature is its only real advantage over the LT, but we think most people will find that the LT's standard suspension works fine. Find a Chevrolet Suburban for sale
