2027 Chevrolet Suburban: Full Trim Guide for Kentucky Families

The 2027 Chevrolet Suburban starts at $64,200(LS 2WD) before a $2,795 destination charge, and tops out at $87,200(High Country 4WD). That spread gives buyers meaningful choices depending on whether the priority is entry-level capability or flagship luxury. The table below lays out every trim’s base MSRP so you can plan your budget before visiting the showroom.

Fuel economy is consistent across most of the lineup. The two-wheel-drive trims (LS 2WD, LT 2WD, Premier 2WD, RST 2WD) return 15 city / 20 highway / 17 combined mpg, while the 4WD trims (LS 4WD, LT 4WD, Premier 4WD, RST 4WD, Z71 4WD) deliver 14 city / 19 highway / 16 combined mpg. The High Country 4WD, powered by the larger 6.2L engine, rates 14 city / 18 highway / 16 combined mpg.

For families making daily runs around Russellville — to school, to church, to the grocery store — the 2WD trims offer a modest but meaningful efficiency advantage. Families who regularly pull a boat trailer to Lake Malone or haul farm equipment on uneven ground will find the 4WD trims worth the small fuel trade-off.

The 2027 Chevrolet Suburban carries a body-on-frame SUV stance that reads as purposeful rather than ostentatious — a look that fits equally well parked outside a historic church on Main Street or idling on a gravel farm road outside Elkton. The exterior is 226.3 inches long and 81 inches wide, giving it a commanding road presence without the visual bulk that makes some full-size SUVs feel out of place in a small-town setting.

Lighting is full LED across the lineup. Projector-beam headlights with LED low and high beams, LED daytime running lights (on Premier and above), LED front fog lights (Premier and above), and LED rear and brake lights give the Suburban a crisp, modern signature day or night. Auto high-beam control and a dusk sensor are standard equipment, so the lights adapt to the conditions on those unlit county roads without requiring a second thought from the driver.

Bumpers are body-color painted on all trims, which gives the exterior a cleaner, more unified appearance than the chrome-bumper look of older full-size SUVs. Chrome bright trim accents the side windows and bumpers on Premier and High Country trims, adding a touch of refinement for buyers who want a more dressed-up look. The RST trims take the opposite approach with a sport-forward aesthetic, and dealer-installed packages like the Dark Essentials Package swap painted mirrors for a toned finish for those who prefer a blacked-out profile.

Standard side platform steps are fitted to every trim, making it practical for children and older passengers to climb in and out of a vehicle that sits tall. Platform steps are the factory standard; buyers who want power-retractable illuminated steps can add those through available dealer options on Premier and High Country.

Roof rails are chrome/silver as standard on most trims, with the Hit The Road Package (available on LS and LT) converting them to black with removable crossbars — useful for families who want to carry kayaks or cargo bins on weekend trips.

If you’re considering trading in your current vehicle before stepping into a new Suburban, you can get an estimate on your trade-in value online before you arrive. Shoppers who aren’t yet ready for a new purchase can also explore our pre-owned SUV inventory for additional options.

Nine of the ten covered trims are powered by Chevrolet’s EcoTec3 5.3L V8, producing 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The High Country 4WD steps up to the EcoTec3 6.2L V8, rated at 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque — the same transmission, but meaningfully more output for buyers who prioritize maximum towing or passing power on the highway.

Both engines include cylinder deactivation and a start/stop system that reduce fuel consumption during light-load situations, which matters on the long straight stretches between rural towns.

The 4WD system uses Chevrolet’s Autotrac transfer case with both full-time and part-time modes selectable by the driver. The suspension is fully independent front (double wishbone, coil spring) and rear (multi-link, coil spring) on all trims, giving the Suburban a more car-like ride than a traditional truck-based SUV on the gently rolling roads of the Pennyroyal Plateau region. The High Country Deluxe Package adds air springs front and rear with interactive leveling, which automatically compensates for heavy loads — a genuine benefit when towing a loaded boat trailer.

Towing capacity varies meaningfully by trim and drivetrain:

The LS 2WD and LT 2WD actually lead the lineup with 7,700 lbs of towing capacity — the lighter curb weight of the rear-wheel-drive configuration gives them the highest rated tow figure. Families who want 4WD confidence for farm roads or wet weather while still hauling a sizeable boat or livestock trailer can do so comfortably with the LS 4WD or LT 4WD at 7,500 lbs. The Max Trailering Package, available on LS and LT trims, adds trailer hitch assist and trailer brake control for buyers who tow regularly.

For buyers ready to move forward, you can start the process by submitting a financing application online before visiting Newton Chevrolet of Russellville.

Picture a Saturday afternoon: grandparents, parents, and three kids packing into a single vehicle for a drive to the Russellville Fall Festival. That scenario is exactly where the Suburban’s interior dimensions earn their keep. Front headroom is 42.3 inches, second-row headroom is 38.9 inches, and third-row headroom is 38.2 inches— enough for adults to sit comfortably across all three rows. Front legroom measures 44.5 inches, second-row legroom is 42 inches, and third-row legroom is 36.7 inches, which is competitive for a full-size SUV. Front shoulder room is 65.6 inches and rear shoulder room is 64.6 inches, with third-row shoulder room at 62.8 inches.

Seating capacity depends on trim. The LS, LT, RST, and Z71 trims seat 8 passengers in a 2+3+3 configuration as standard, with an optional front bench seat on LS and LT trims that pushes capacity to 9. The Premier and High Country trims default to 7 passengers in a 2+2+3 layout, with the second-row captain’s chairs providing individual access to the third row without requiring anyone to fold a bench seat. The High Country adds an available 2nd Row Power Bench Seats option to return to 8-passenger capacity if needed.

Cargo space behind the third row is about 41.5 cu ft on every trim — enough for fishing rods, a cooler, and hiking packs without asking anyone to ride with gear in their lap. With the rear seats folded, that expands to about 144.5 cu ft, turning the Suburban into a practical hauler for large loads.

Material quality steps up noticeably through the trim ladder. The LS uses cloth upholstery, while LT buyers choose between Jet Black or Gideon/Very Dark Atmosphere leather. Premier and High Country trims are finished in perforated leather with real wood and leather trim on the instrument panel, door panels, and center console. The Premier and High Country also add standard heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and memory seat settings — the kind of daily-use comfort features that matter on cold Kentucky mornings.

Three-zone automatic climate control is standard across the lineup, with rear controls allowing passengers in the second row to manage their own temperature independently. USB charging ports are distributed throughout: 4 up front, 2 in the second row, and 2 in the third row on all trims, so no one in the family is arguing over charging cables on longer drives.

If you need accessories like floor liners, cargo nets, or roof crossbars to complete your Suburban’s setup, our parts and accessories department can help you find factory-fit options.

The ten covered trims form a clear ladder from practical to flagship, with meaningful differences in content at each step.

The LS is the entry point, and it is not spartan. Buyers get the 17.7-inch touchscreen, 11-inch digital cluster, HD Surround Vision, Adaptive Cruise Control, the full active safety suite, 3-zone automatic climate control, and cloth seating for 8. The 6-speaker audio system and cloth interior are the primary trade-offs versus higher trims. The Max Trailering Package adds trailer hitch assist and trailer brake control for buyers who tow regularly. The LS 2WD’s 7,700 lbs towing rating makes it the strongest tow vehicle in the lineup by this measure.

The LT adds leather seating (Jet Black or Gideon/Very Dark Atmosphere), alloy door sill protectors, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and wireless charging. Interior trim moves from alloy-look to genuine leather and wood accents. The Comfort Package adds a 10-speaker Bose audio system, memory seat settings, heated second-row seats, and power-folding second and third rows. The Advanced Technology Package on LT adds Super Cruise, a head-up display, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking. The Sun and Tow Package adds a panoramic sunroof and trailer assist features.

The RST takes the LT content and applies a sport-forward exterior treatment. The standard chrome trim is replaced with a blacked-out appearance, and the RST is available with 22-inch Carbon Flash Metallic aluminum wheels with selective machining. Interior content is comparable to LT, making the RST the trim for buyers who want the Suburban’s capability with a more aggressive visual identity.

The Z71 is the dedicated off-road trim, exclusive to 4WD. It shares the LT/RST content level but adds Z71-specific skid plate protection, an off-road suspension calibration, and all-terrain tires. For families who regularly navigate unpaved roads or muddy farm tracks, the Z71 provides factory-engineered capability rather than dealer-installed modifications.

The Premier steps into near-luxury territory. Standard features include a 10-speaker Bose audio system, perforated leather seating, ventilated front seats, memory seat positions, power-folding second and third rows, a panoramic sunroof (through the Sun and Tow Package as standard content), and chrome exterior mirrors. The 7-passenger captain’s chair layout is standard. The Advanced Technology Package is available here, adding Super Cruise and a head-up display.

The High Country is the flagship, exclusive to 4WD, and the only trim with the 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 producing 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Standard content adds the head-up display, the Technology and Entertainment Package (which includes a windshield HUD and rear camera mirror), the 10-speaker Bose system, power-retractable side steps, and the High Country Deluxe Package option with air suspension. The Super Cruise Package is available, enabling hands-free highway driving on compatible roads. Interior materials are the most premium in the lineup, with perforated leather in Jet Black or Jet Black/Mocha.

The Chevrolet Suburban’s reputation in the full-size SUV segment is well-established among automotive reviewers who regularly evaluate the vehicle against its closest rivals — the Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia, and Jeep Wagoneer. The Suburban’s long wheelbase, genuine three-row passenger space, and body-on-frame construction have consistently earned recognition from outlets that evaluate family haulers on the criteria that matter most to buyers in this class: towing capacity, interior room, and long-term durability.

The 5-star NHTSA overall safety rating, with specific 5-star scores for frontal crash and side impact, reflects the structural engineering that goes into a vehicle designed to protect up to 8 occupants. That rating carries weight for families who prioritize crash protection alongside capability.

Automotive press coverage of the Suburban frequently highlights the 17.7-inch infotainment screen as one of the most usable large-format displays in the full-size SUV segment, noting that the interface responds quickly and the wireless smartphone integration works reliably. The HD Surround Vision system has also drawn praise for making a 226.3-inch-long vehicle manageable in parking situations.

The Suburban’s towing credentials — up to 7,700 lbs on the LS 2WD and LT 2WD — place it competitively within the full-size SUV segment, and the available air suspension on the High Country Deluxe Package is recognized as a meaningful differentiator for buyers who need load-leveling capability when towing or carrying heavy cargo.
