Why Buy An Escalade When You Can Have A Suburban And A Corvette For The Same Money

New car buyers always need the most value for their dollar. And there has never been a better time to buy a new Chevrolet than now. When it comes to deciding what extra large SUV to purchase, there are only a few options available, and one of the best to buy is the 2024 Chevrolet Suburban. With a starting MSRP of $59,200, it is also the most cost-effective new extra-large sport utility vehicle on the market. 

Competitive For Less Money

Comparing the Suburban to other vehicles is difficult because few can do what the extra large Chevy does, except for the Escalade, a vehicle based on the Suburban. The Escalade ranges in price from $81,895 to the top-of-the-line V model at over $152,295. The Escalade costs so much more that a family can afford a new Chevrolet Suburban and a Corvette for the same price—a big something for the family and a little something for the weekends.

The Best Engines & Fuel Economy 

The Suburban has a clear advantage for customers when it comes to picking between three different engines. The standard 5.3-liter Vortec V8 produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, a 6.2-liter V8 that makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, or the incredible 3.0-liter inline-6 Duramax turbo-diesel that has 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The Duramax Suburban is by far the most fuel-efficient of all the Suburban models. It is much better on gas than an Escalade, with the ability to get 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. 

So Much Space

There are zero vehicles in the price range of the Chevrolet Suburban that can compete with its overall interior size and space. Behind the third-row seats, you will find 41.5 cu.ft. of space, which is more than some crossovers with all their seats folded. When you fold the third-row seats, you will have 93.8 cu.ft., with a maximum of 144.7 cu.ft. behind the first row with all seats folded. That comes out to more space than some apartments in New York City.

Towing & Off-Road Performance

It’s not just interior volume and size that makes customers look at larger SUVs to carry their families and luggage around. No, a predominant reason to buy a Suburban is its ability to tow up to 8,300 lbs when properly equipped. For those buyers who enjoy using the SUV far off the beaten path, the Suburban Z71 provides better suspension and other off-road goodies to keep you from getting stuck. 

Unrivaled Suspension

For 2024, Magnetic Ride Control is standard on High Country models and optional on RST and Z71 trim levels.  For the first time ever for a large SUV, Four Corner Air Ride Adaptive suspension is available on Z71 and High Country models.

Advanced Driver Technology

The Suburban isn’t just a large SUV with towing capacity. It is also one of the most technologically advanced and safest vehicles for you and your passengers. State-of-the-art Super Cruise, the legendary hands-free driver assistance technology, is available on Premier and High Country models. With Super Cruise, you can take your hands off the wheel and let the vehicle take over the driving duties on a long journey. 

Advanced Safety Features

Nothing is more important than your family’s safety, and with Chevy Safety Assist you can rest easy knowing that Chevrolet believes that. Chevy Safety Assist is standard on all Suburban models and trim levels. It features Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, Front Pedestrian Braking, and IntelliBeam auto high beams. Certain trim levels can be optioned with Adaptive Cruise Control HD Surround Vision, a 15-inch Head-Up Display, Rear Camera Mirror, Rear Camera Mirror Washer, Rear Pedestrian Alert and so much more to make driving easier and safer.

No Better SUV

There isn’t much that a Suburban can’t handle in the world, especially considering how reasonably it is priced compared to the Cadillac Escalade. Better fuel economy, tons of bonafide off-road abilities, and technology and safety that can rival anything from German or Japanese car companies. How much more perfect can a Chevrolet Suburban get for families?
