2007 Chevrolet Suburban Review
Chevrolet redesigns its largest SUV for 2007 with more power, fresh styling, and new features. This report covers the half-ton Suburban 1500 and three-quarter-ton 2500. These SUVs are essentially extended-length versions of the Chevy Tahoe. Suburbans also share their basic design with the GMC Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade ESV.
Compared to Tahoe, Suburban is about 14 inches longer in wheelbase, 20 inches longer overall, and has nearly 30 cu ft more cargo volume. Suburban 1500s come in LS, LT, and Luxury LTZ trim; 2500s are LS or LT only. Each offers rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive that can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing. ABS and traction/antiskid control with rollover sensors is standard.
A 5.3-liter V8 is standard on 1500s. Rear-drive models have 320 hp, 4WD versions have 310. Optional on those models and standard on 2500s is a 6.0-liter V8. The 1500 models have 366 hp; 2500s have 352. GM's Active Fuel Management shuts off four cylinders while cruising to save fuel and is standard on all 1500s, unavailable on 2500s. The only transmission is a 4-speed automatic. Available on Suburban 1500 LTs is GM's Autoride suspension that includes load leveling and automatically adjusts firmness based on road and driving conditions. LT is also available with Chevy's Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package.
Passenger capacity ranges from five to nine, with two- and three-place seating available for any of the three rows. Standard with LTZ and available for LS and LT are curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows and include rollover deployment. The 2nd- and 3rd-row seats fold, and the 3rd row is removable. As in GM's other large SUVs, a spring release option flips the 2nd-row seats to provide 3rd row access. Other new features include a rearview camera, power liftgate, power running boards, and rear obstacle detection. Also available are a navigation system, power-adjustable pedals, heated 1st- and 2nd-row seats, and DVD entertainment. OnStar assistance is standard.

Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large SUVs are traditionally workhorse seven-plus passenger wagons with brawny truck-type chassis, ample towing ability, lots of cargo space, and generally poor fuel economy. These vehicles offer towing and payload ratings similar to large pickup trucks.
Our Best Buys include Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, and GMC Yukon and Denali. Our Recommended pick is the Ford Expedition.
New or significantly redesigned models include the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Denali, and Ford Expedition.

News
It shouldn't be long before Suburban (Tahoe, too) exchanges its 4-speed automatic transmission for a newer 6-speed unit. The latter is already available in related Cadillac Escalades and some GMC Yukon/Yukon XL models.
An available hybrid powertrain looms as the main news for 2008. The result of a GM-DaimlerChrysler-BMW collaboration, this "two-mode" system is said to use twin electric motors and a 300-volt battery pack to assist a 5.3 V8 with GM's Active Fuel Management. It allows low-speed driving on either power source, and promises better overall fuel economy than conventional powertrains. Rival Dodge's midsize Durango SUV is expected to offer a similar hybrid setup during the '07 or '08 model years.
Further out, General Motors says it may offer a 330-hp diesel V8 for its largest SUVs by model-year 2010. The company is cagey about details for now, but says this new diesel will be a 32-valve dual-overhead-cam design--and clean enough for sale in all 50 states. GM projects a Yukon so equipped would get around 28 mpg in city driving vs. 21 for a comparable gas-engine model.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
With 5.3-liter V8, Suburban 1500 has fine power from any speed. Little evident advantage from Yukon Denali's 6.2-liter V8. No opportunity yet to test 2500 model or any Suburban with 6.0 V8. Transmission shifts smoothly. Towing capacity is 8200 lb.

Fuel Economy
Test 4WD LT averaged 15.0 mpg. Suburban uses regular-grade fuel, and the 5.3 V8 can also run on E85 ethanol.

Ride Quality
Among the best of any car- or truck-type SUV. Suburban and Yukon XL exhibit carlike comfort over bumps and aren't prone to floaty motions like its shorter Tahoe counterpart.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Suburban and Yukon XL react alertly to steering, and while some testers say the steering is too sensitive at highway speeds--especially with 20-inch tires--all agree it lacks the sloppiness that plagued the 2000-2006 generation. These are tall, heavy vehicles, so none feel nimble. But there's no excessive body lean in turns with base suspension, even less with Autoride. Low-speed maneuverability aided by relatively tight turning circle. Brakes feel strong, but some testers want better pedal modulation.

Quietness
Moderate highway-speed wind rush. No undue road noise. Denali XL's 6.2 V8 sounds louder, gruffer than 5.3 during rapid acceleration. Powertrains otherwise a model of refinement.

Controls
Gauges large, but some testers find markings too indistinct for best legibility. Most controls logically placed, operate with precision. Navigation system has large, easy-read touch screen and absorbs, but doesn't complicate audio functions. High marks to upscale, contemporary cabin ambience. Assembled with attention to detail. Most interior materials feel high-grade, though soft-touch surfaces are scarce.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Seats are supportive. Generous head, leg room, though bench seat's cramped center position should be reserved for emergency situations. Available power-adjustable pedals a convenience for shorter drivers. Rearview camera aids aft visibility, but distorts distances, compromising usefulness.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Spacious 2nd row. With $425 option, 2nd-row seats spring forward to ease access to 3rd row, though passage is still tight, and seats must be manually restored to original position. Third row best left to children; low-to-floor cushion forces knees-up discomfort for anyone else. High step-in complicates entry/exit.

Cargo Room
Spacious behind 3rd-row seat. Folded 3rd-row seatbacks rest well above level of rear load floor, complicating loading of larger items. Third-row seats unlatch easily, but are heavy and cumbersome to remove. Once removed, space is cavernous. Cabin storage enhanced by large center console bin. Roomy door pockets in front, but none in rear.

Value within Class
GM's 2007 redesign of its largest Chevrolet and GMC SUVs address the most egregious flaws of their 2000-2006 predecessors: sloppy steering and subpar interior appointments. Third-row accommodations in the regular-length versions are still best suited to children, but for smooth power, utility, and surprising overall refinement, these are first-rate trucks. A carefully optioned Yukon XL is the best choice in the GMC lineup, and like the Suburban, is a Best Buy value among large SUVs.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

| Front Impact, Driver | 5 | NA |
| Front Impact, Passenger | 5 | NA |
| Rollover Resistance | 3 | NA |
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
