2024 Chevrolet Suburban

Driver’s Seat: Functional, But Not Flashy

Inside, the Suburban keeps things pretty simple.

The door panel design is straightforward, with some red contrast stitching on this trim. There are useful cubbies for water bottles and small items, but nothing revolutionary.

Up front, you’ll find:

• Wireless charging pad
• USB and USB-C ports
• 12-volt outlet
• Multiple cup holders
• Panoramic sunroof
• Heated seats (trim specific)

The center console is wide but not especially deep. It’s functional, but I’ve seen more innovative storage solutions in other vehicles recently. That said, it still provides plenty of usable space for everyday mom life.

Headroom and seating position are excellent — as expected in one of the largest SUVs available.

Second Row: Spacious & Practical

With the driver’s seat set for someone about six feet tall, I still had excellent knee and head clearance in the second row.

Key features:

• Ceiling vents (huge for rear-facing car seats)
• Separate climate controls
• Heated second-row seats (trim specific)
• USB ports and a household-style outlet (great for pumping moms)

The captain’s chairs create a wide aisle — much more usable in a full-size SUV than in midsize models. I can comfortably walk between the seats, which makes third-row access easier.

Car Seat Setup

Here’s how it breaks down:

• Lower anchors in both second-row captain’s chairs
• Tether anchors in all five rear seating positions
• No lower anchors in the third row

While seatbelt installs are perfectly safe and common, I do wish Chevy would add third-row lower anchors like the Ford Expedition and Jeep Wagoneer offer. It adds flexibility for families with multiple LATCH-dependent car seats or high-back boosters with LATCH.

Also missing? Rear sunshades.

Cargo Space: This Is Why You Buy a Suburban

Now let’s talk about the reason families choose the Suburban.

With the third row up?
It’s excellent. Truly spacious and very competitive with other extended-wheelbase SUVs.

There’s also a small underfloor storage area and power-folding second and third rows.

With the seats down?
You’re basically in cargo van territory.

This is a serious family hauler. Road trips, sports equipment, Costco runs — you’ll have room.

Just know: it’s big. It’s not slipping easily into tight garages, and navigating crowded parking lots will remind you that you are driving a bus.
