With three trim levels, a wide range of options, and now multiple powertrains to select, the 2019 Chevrolet Suburban is configurable in a myriad of ways. That’s why we’ve seen fit to give it 8 out of 10 points for features. (Read more about how we rate cars.)

Though it does represent value to a certain extent, no 2019 Suburban is cheap. The LS trim serves as the entry point to the range and carries a $50,000-plus price tag for cloth upholstery, power adjustable front seats, three-zone climate control, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.

We recommend the Enhanced Driver Alert Package, which includes active safety tech like automatic low-speed emergency braking and active lane control, as an option on the base Suburban, but most buyers will step up to the LT trim.

Doing so adds leather seats (heated up front), makes the optional safety tech standard, and includes a Bose audio system and a power liftgate. The Premier trim tops the Suburban range, and adds ventilated front seats, blind spot monitors, a more powerful Bose system, a hands-free liftgate, and keyless ignition.

Last year, the RST Appearance Package gave the Suburban some needed visual flair with black accents and badges, 22-inch wheels, and more, and the look is back for 2019 with a performance boost to go with it. Z71 package buyers get off-road inspired looks, including special bumpers and all-terrain tires.

The Premier Plus package is new for 2019 as well and offers basically every option in the book with a bit of upmarket visual flair, not to mention the bigger engine.

Suburban Premier models are the only ones available with a head-up display and adaptive cruise control, and four-wheel drive is a $3,000 upgrade on every trim level. A fully-loaded Suburban can crest $80,000, which is right at the low range of the Cadillac Escalade lineup.
