The All New 2011 Chevrolet Suburban

It was in the 30’s when General Motor first brought out the classic Chevrolet Suburban and with this fantastic little Chevy, it has always been at the forefront of the brining a classic Chevy to the market.

Today it is this Suburban that is one of the oldest cars in history that is still available today; this was actually going to be taken off the market but when the SUV market began to pick up then it was cancelled, they kept the Suburban on the market.

This did use to have a station wagon body and the interior that looked very similar to a pickup truck.  Now it is very different.  The car is thought to be stopped when the company behind them thought about bankruptcy but this has been a good investment for them and the profits are very much soaring.

This can now include seven or even eight people in this car and it is thought that this car is going to run for a few more years still.

The Suburban will have a SUV look with the six speed transmission – only that is the option over the choice of transmission with this car but the engine types will come with a V-8 6.0 liter or 5.3 liter engine.  There will also be models such as the 2500 LS, the 1500, the LS, LTZ and the LT.

There are some new paint colors that are being offered here; there are some metallic colors however such as the steel green and mocha steel colors as well as the ice blue color also.  These really do add a nice flare to the car however.

With the Suburban having a great storage area and a rear audio system control with the ability of a few headphone jacks.  The car will also have a Bluetooth connectivity option and a luggage rack available along with central rails and the door handles that match the cars color.

There will also be the wood grain interior trim with some very nice premium cloth and it will have a nice chrome finish to the recovery hooks for transporting items.

This is got some great chrome wheels which measure out at a massive twenty inches which is actually a new option here for the 1LTZ model.  With the Z71 off road look it will have the only eighteen inch tires with a nice chrome grille to the car also.

With the interior of the Suburban there are getting a good three rows of seating but the second row of seating actually will be power released and folded down.  The first and second rows of seats are going to have heated options; there will be the great rear view mirror camera that is added for safety as well as the tri zone auto HVAC system.

There will be the touch screen navigation system along with an ultrasonic parking assist with a driver information center but there is a nice entertainment center here with the eight inch DVD screen for those longer journeys.

When it comes to the performance and handling of this car, it is basically good but it’s just like a truck obviously.  However the torque that can come with this car is very good in fact and there is nothing that has been skimped over with the engine.

This will have the V-8 engine however that comes with the 5.3 liter Vortec design that comes with an iron block and a rear wheel drive of one thousand five hundred.  Meanwhile the four wheel drive one thousand five hundred will come with the 5.3 liter aluminum block engine that reaches a horsepower of three hundred and twenty and a torque of three hundred and thirty five pound feet.

While the 6.0 liter engine is going to have the horsepower of three hundred and fifty two and the torque reaches a massive three hundred and eighty two pounds.
The safety features of this car however are good with the roof mounted head curtain and side airbags.  That also comes with the rollover protection system for the car that will cover the entire three rows of seating.

The seat belts are pre tensioners designed which will help to deploy when there are any collisions to the rear of the car.  This will also come with the StabiliTrak system which has an also rollover mitigation included with this car.

The EPA fuel economy has been tested with this Suburban with the 1500 LS LTZ and LT version with the rear wheel and four wheel drive with the 5.3 liter engine will be 21 mpg for the highway and 15 mpg in the city.

The 2500 LT and LS 6.0 liter four and rear wheel drive will equal around fifteen mpg for the highway and the city should add up to around 10 mpg.
