Year to Year Changes
1993 Chevrolet Suburban:
Electronic control for the automatic transmission was one of the few changes in Chevrolet's big wagon. The new automatic also added a second-gear start feature, for increased traction on slippery surfaces.
1994 Chevrolet Suburban:
A turbodiesel engine returned to the powertrain parade, as side door-guard beams and a center high-mounted stoplamp were installed.
1995 Chevrolet Suburban:
A driver-side airbag was added, in a redesigned interior with recontoured seats. The turbodiesel engine could now go into 1500-series models as well as the 2500 series, and the standard V8 lost 10 horsepower.
1996 Chevrolet Suburban:
More-potent Vortec engines debuted for '96. The 5.7-liter gas V8 leaped from 200 to 250 horsepower. The optional 7.4-liter V8 gained 60 horsepower (now 290). Pushbutton engagement for the 4-wheel-drive system became available, and daytime running lights were installed.
1997 Chevrolet Suburban:
A passenger-side airbag was installed on '97 models. Outboard seats in the middle row gained height-adjustable shoulder-belt anchors. The standard 5.7-liter engine added five horsepower.
1998 Chevrolet Suburban:
Suburban added an optional full-time 4WD system called Autotrac. This system can remain engaged on any road surface.
1999 Chevrolet Suburban:
GM's biggest wagon was all but unchanged for '99, pending the arrival of a redesigned 2000 model.
