4 Things That Make the 2017 Chevy Suburban the Ultimate Family Vehicle

April 13th, 2017 by

Family vehicles usually offer increased reliability and safety. However, the Chevy Suburban goes further than this. It has advanced maneuverability and towing abilities along with the regular features of a crossover SUV. You can take the kids, the boat, the dog, hit the beach, explore roads off the beaten track, and travel in style at the same time. The new 2017 Chevy Suburban is up for any challenge. Now in its 12th Generation, the Chevrolet Suburban keeps on offering more for customers.

Design and Reliability on all Roads

The 5.3 V8 engine producing 383 horsepower is powerful enough for every trip. The 8-inch display communicates with the computer and provides drivers with advanced information. The system of the Suburban is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can stream your favorite music or talk to friends on the go. The built-in 4G Lite Wi-Fi keeps those kids in the back entertained, while the MyChevrolet Mobile app can remotely start or stop the engine, open or close the doors, and provide you with parking reminders.

Great for Big Groups and Families

The Chevy Suburban can easily accommodate nine people in three rows comfortably, and the third-row seats can be folded in order to accommodate large items such as canoes or golf equipment. The Chevy’s cargo space is more generous than competing makes’, and the in-car entertainment features are great for keeping younger passengers busy on longer journeys. The Magnetic Ride Control suspension is fully adaptable, based on the road conditions, so every person can enjoy a smooth ride.

Safety First

There are several advanced safety features built in the Chevy Suburban, including the low-speed front collision alert, the forward collision alert, and the safety alert seat. Instead of getting a notification on the control panel, the vibration of the seat signals alerts.

Collision alerts automatically calculate the following distance and traveling speed of surrounding vehicles. The rear vision camera provides a live image of the area behind the car, which is very useful when reversing into tight spaces or doing maneuvers on busy roads. In addition to these great safety features, the 2017 Chevrolet Suburban also comes with rear cross traffic alerts, rear park assist, and side blind zone alerts.

Great Driving Experience

The Chevy Suburban 2017 has electric power-assisted steering, and the engine accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6.1 seconds, which is considered very quick in the large SUV category. Braking is also powerful, thanks to the advanced technology introduced. This includes the Continental CrossContact 275/55 tires and  LTZ aluminum spinners in the new models; the Suburban brakes from 70 to zero miles per hour in just 190 feet.
