2019 Chevrolet Suburban: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2019 Chevrolet Suburban was the optional RST Performance package, which brought a 6.2-liter V8 and 10-speed automatic to the top end of the range. Otherwise, this was a light-update year with no redesign or broad lineup changes.
About the 2019 Chevrolet Suburban
11th generation (2015-2020), fifth model year, late-cycle pre-redesign year.
Chevrolet positioned the Suburban as the biggest family-ready SUV in the lineup: a full-size people hauler with real cargo space behind the third row, strong V8 towing ability, and straightforward road-trip comfort. Its core appeal versus most three-row crossovers was simple: it could carry a large family, their luggage, and a trailer at the same time. In Chevrolet’s messaging, the Suburban was the do-everything choice for buyers who needed more space and capability than a Tahoe or a typical crossover could offer.
The 2019 Suburban ranged from the durable, nine-seat Commercial model and family-focused LS to the more comfortable LT and upscale Premier. LS included an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while LT added heated leather seats and more driver-assistance features. Premier brought ventilated front seats, built-in navigation, wireless charging, and a smoother-riding suspension.
