“The Suburban offers almost all of the same amenities as GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade for significantly less money.”
2023 Chevrolet Suburban: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban is that Super Cruise hands-free driving joins the options lists for Premier and High Country. Otherwise, this is a very light update with a few new exterior colors and no redesign or lineup-wide powertrain change.
About the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban
12th generation (2021-present), third model year before the 2025 refresh
The 2023 Suburban is Chevrolet’s biggest family-and-trailer SUV: a long-wheelbase full-size model built around passenger room, cargo space, and towing ability. Chevrolet markets it as the most versatile and advanced Suburban yet, with true three-row usability, huge cargo volume, multiple powertrain choices, and standard core safety tech. What sets it apart from shorter three-row SUVs is not just size, but how easily it handles road-trip duty, large families, and towing in one vehicle.
The 2023 lineup ranges from the work-focused Commercial model to the upscale High Country, with family-oriented, street-styled, and off-road-focused trims in between. LT brings leather-appointed seating and a 10.2-inch touchscreen, Z71 adds standard 4WD and trail hardware, and High Country tops the range with features such as a head-up display, surround-view cameras, and an adaptive suspension.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban?
The biggest change is optional Super Cruise hands-free driving on Premier and High Country. Beyond that addition and a few new exterior colors, the 2023 Suburban changes very little from 2022.
Does every 2023 Chevrolet Suburban have Super Cruise?
No. Super Cruise is limited to the Premier and High Country options lists for 2023; it is not standard or offered across every trim.
Was the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban redesigned?
No. The 2023 Suburban continues the 12th-generation design introduced for 2021, with no major exterior, interior, chassis, or suspension redesign.
Did the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban get new engines?
No. There is no lineup-wide powertrain change for 2023. The 5.3-liter V8 remains the main engine, the 6.2-liter V8 remains tied to certain trims, and the 3.0-liter diesel remains on most trims but not Z71.
Is the 2023 Chevrolet Suburban meaningfully different from the 2022 model?
Not for most shoppers. The main reason to focus on 2023 is the addition of optional Super Cruise on Premier and High Country; otherwise, the lineup is largely a carryover with a few new exterior colors.

“That the vehicle is solid for reliability and performance to date. It's comfortable and stylish.”
“My best friend had a Suburban and kept it for what felt like forever. It was a great car for her, so when I was looking for a large vehicle to fit my family of 7, this was my first go! I LOVE it. It is the best value for the size and personality of a vehicle. I would buy it again!”
