The 2021 Chevrolet Suburban will have a starting price of $52,995 (including a $1,295 destination charge), according to data from Cars Direct. This will make the new SUV the same price as the outgoing generation. In comparison, the smaller 2021 Tahoe will have a base cost of $50,295.

The full Suburban lineup will also include the LT for $57,795, RST for $61,095, Z71 for $63,195, Premier for $66,595, and range-topping High Country for $73,595, according to Cars Direct info. Four-wheel drive is a $3,000 option.

One advantage of opting for the highest trim will be the availability of the 6.2-liter V8 making 420 horsepower (313 kilowatts). All other grades will use the 5.3-liter V8 with 335 hp (265 kW). Both of these will come with a 10-speed automatic. Pricing and availability for the 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel inline-six are not yet available, but the mill offers an estimated 277 hp (207 kW) and 460 pound-feet (623 Newton-meters) of torque.

The GMC Yukon XL is mechanically similar to the Suburban but is a bit more luxurious. It starts at $54,695 and can go as high as $75,395 for a four-wheel-drive Denali.

Both the 2021 Suburban and Tahoe ride on an updated platform that includes a multi-link, independent rear suspension. This should make the SUV more comfortable, and optional tech like Magnetic Ride Control and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension create an even more compliant ride.
