Chevrolet Suburban: history of the model range
Chevrolet Suburban is one of the oldest models of the American brand. Over the years of production, it has been manufactured in different body styles and under different brands. The name translates as "suburb resident".
First generation (1933)
The model debuted in 1933 as a body-on-frame station wagon based on the Chevrolet Pick-up. Most of the body was wooden, and the vehicle could seat up to eight passengers.
Second generation (1935)
In 1935, a two-door station wagon version was released. The main difference from its predecessor was the all-metal body, in addition to stylistic changes.
Third generation (1941)
From 1941, a special military modification was produced, which continued until the end of World War II. The vehicle was equipped with two powerful gasoline engines.
Fourth generation (1947)
The 1947 model received not only stylistic updates but also increased comfort thanks to sliding front seats that made it easier for rear passengers to get in. A four-speed automatic transmission also appeared.
Fifth generation (1955)
In 1955, the Suburban underwent a major exterior and interior restyling, as well as modernization of engines and transmissions.
Sixth generation (1960)
The sixth generation was revolutionary: for the first time, the model was produced as a two-door SUV. The list of available engines expanded significantly, and a four-wheel drive version appeared.
Seventh generation (1967)
In 1967, three-door and five-door (Brazilian version) modifications appeared. The radiator grille was adorned with the brand's signature "cross" for the first time.
Eighth generation (1973)
The eighth generation, produced from 1973 for 18 years, received a new body — a five-door SUV, as well as a modern design. This generation is characterized by the introduction of diesel versions.
Ninth generation (1992)
The 1992 model noticeably increased in size and received a distinctive front end with horizontally split headlights. From this generation, the vehicle is equipped only with an automatic transmission.
Tenth generation (2000–2006)
The tenth generation differed from its predecessor with minor exterior changes, an updated interior, and modernized engines.
Eleventh generation (2006)
The latest generation of Suburban to date was introduced in 2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
In Ukraine, the Chevrolet Suburban is sold only through unofficial dealers. The vehicle is equipped with a 5.3-liter gasoline engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Drive — all-wheel drive.
