The Chevrolet Suburban, introduced in 1935, is a popular series of SUVs known as the longest-running automobile nameplate globally. The twelfth generation was launched in 2021 as the latest model. Initially designed as one of the earliest metal-bodied station wagons, the Suburban paved the way for the modern full-size SUV by combining a wagon-style body with a pickup truck chassis and powertrain.
Throughout its evolution, the Suburban has shared chassis and mechanical components with other Chevrolet trucks like the Advance Design, Task Force, and C/K series, and currently, the Chevrolet Silverado. General Motors has marketed the Suburban under both Chevrolet and GMC brands, making it one of the most profitable vehicles in the company's lineup.
