The Suburban is Chevrolet’s largest SUV, making it the perfect choice for large families or people who require plenty of cargo space. You can configure the Suburban to have a functional cabin with many convenient amenities or opt for a much more luxurious experience with upscale materials and cutting-edge technology. Our experts here at Eskridge Chevrolet have compiled a guide to the Suburban’s interior features for you to explore.
What Is the Chevrolet Suburban?

The 2022 Chevy Suburban is a three-row SUV and the largest utility vehicle in Chevrolet’s lineup. It can hold up to nine passengers and offers a huge rear cargo area.
The Suburban is powered by a V-8 engine in its base setup. You can opt for a six-cylinder turbodiesel if you prioritize better gas mileage or a larger V-8 for maximum power under the hood. With the right equipment, this Chevy can tow over 8,000 pounds.
Passenger and Cabin Capacity
The Suburban’s standard configuration provides seats for eight people, including bench seats in the second and third rows. You can add a middle seat to the front row to boost the Suburban to its maximum capacity of nine.
Alternatively, if you can sacrifice one seat, you’ll add more comfort to the cabin by installing captain’s chairs in the second row, which reduces your SUV’s capacity to seven. Due to the Suburban’s ample size, even the third row of seats offers enough room for adult passengers to ride comfortably.
With a full load of passengers, the Suburban has 41 cubic feet of storage space at the rear. You can fold down the rear row to expand to 93.8 cubic feet, which is more than enough to transport most household items. If you fold down both the second and third rows, you get access to a whopping 144 cubic feet of cargo capacity, which is among the largest cargo areas offered by any SUV.
Suburban Infotainment Features
The Suburban’s base infotainment system is well equipped to keep you and your passengers busy on long and short drives. It features a 10.2-inch screen and a six-speaker stereo. A Wi-Fi hotspot will allow you to stay connected wherever your journey takes you, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide smartphone compatibility.
Even if you’re not using a smartphone, there is no shortage of ways to connect your device to your vehicle’s infotainment screen. The Suburban offers eight USB ports and Bluetooth.
Driver Safety Technology
The Suburban’s interior comes standard with some extremely convenient safety features. You gain access to forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking to help you avoid accidents. Highway drivers will appreciate the lane departure warning with lane keep assist technology, and the automatic high-beam headlights will also come in handy.
If you have a younger family member who is learning to drive, you may want to check out the Teen Driver feature. This technology allows you to impose restrictions on how they use the Suburban. For example, you can limit how loud they can turn up the stereo or put a speed limit restriction in place. If your kids aren’t quite at the age of learning to drive yet, the rear seat alert feature reminds you to check that no children are left behind in the two rear rows before you leave your car.
Optional Features and Trims
Now that you know what the Suburban offers in its base setup, it’s time to learn about the upgrade options available if you select one of the higher trims. The Suburban is sold in six trim levels: LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country. Since we’ve already explained what you can expect in the base Suburban LS, let’s jump straight to the LT’s offerings.
The first thing you’re likely to notice about the LT’s cabin is that it has a much more upscale feel. It’s fitted with leather upholstery and boasts heated front seats for you to relax in. You’ll also get a hands-free liftgate, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a nine-speaker stereo.
The biggest difference with the RST trim is its exterior design modifications. It offers unique black leather upholstery with red stitching in the cabin. The Z71 trim is aimed at off-road enthusiasts but still features leather upholstery in the interior so you can enjoy your ride in comfort.
The Premier trim takes interior luxury to the next level. It features ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs and steering wheel, and a power-folding third row. The infotainment system gets an upgrade thanks to a 10-speaker sound system. You’ll also benefit from some additional safety tech, including blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Adaptive cruise control, which can automatically adjust your speed on the highway, is an optional upgrade.
Finally, there is the range-topping High Country trim. It adds a surround-view parking camera, which is sure to come in handy when you’re trying to find a parking space for this big SUV. The camera can help you identify obstacles coming close to your vehicle from any side. Another cool interior feature offered only in the High Country trim is the power-retractable steps for accessing the cabin.
