by Luxury, space and true seven-adult comfort now available through Autogroup International in Australia
Australian families have been asking for a genuine full size American SUV that can carry seven adults in comfort, swallow serious luggage and tow with confidence. Autogroup International is answering that call by launching the right hand drive Chevrolet Suburban for Australia, backed by a 5-year unlimited kilometer warranty and full local support. This is not a compromise conversion. It is a comprehensive re-engineering program from Australia’s world leading right hand drive automotive design, engineering and component manufacturing company – Autogroup International, the only organisation in the world offering a right hand drive Chevrolet Suburban with choice of trims, engines and factory options configured to your needs.
For more than 30 years our global team has engineered and delivered over 5,000 right hand drive vehicles, with our incredible American SUV range including the GMC Yukon XL and Chevrolet Tahoe to Ford Bronco, Dodge Durango, Hummer EV SUV and our bespoke ‘The CEO’ SUV. The right hand drive Suburban now joins that line-up as the definitive family and touring flagship American SUV for Australian roads.
Why the Suburban fits Australia so well
The Suburban is Chevrolet’s longest-running nameplate for a reason. It is a body-on-frame, independent rear suspension SUV that prioritises space, refinement and long-distance ease. Adults fit comfortably in all three rows. A new 17.7-inch infotainment display sits alongside an 11-inch digital driver cluster, with optional rear entertainment for the second row. Magnetic Ride Control and available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension help this big SUV feel composed on back roads and quiet on the highway. Maximum braked towing capacity is 3,628 kg, giving you genuine headroom for boats, vans and horse floats.
Seating and space that genuinely fits seven adults
The second row is available with two individual captain’s chairs and a generous walk-through aisle, which makes it easy for adults to step into the third row without folding a seat. Roof-mounted vents, USB-C points and storage cubbies keep all three rows comfortable and connected on long drives.
Cargo capacity is where the Suburban truly leads. Measured to the seatbacks and roofline, typical volumes are approximately 1,175 litres behind the third row, 2,663 litres behind the second row and up to 4,090 litres with both rear rows folded. In practical terms that means around six to eight large suitcases behind the third row, 16 to 20 large suitcases behind the second row, or an abundance of camping gear, prams and bikes when you fold everything flat. A separate flip-up rear glass lets you drop items in quickly without opening the full tailgate.
Which engine should you choose
All engines are paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic. Your Autogroup International consultant will help you match powertrain to your use case during configuration.
3.0-litre Duramax inline-six turbo-diesel
Choose the diesel if you value long-range efficiency, low-rpm torque and relaxed highway touring with fewer fuel stops. It suits families who road-trip, regional operators and anyone towing frequently at steady speeds. Indicative consumption based on US EPA data converts to about 11.7 L per 100 km city and 9.0 L per 100 km highway. With the 106-litre tank, country range can comfortably exceed 1,000 km depending on load and conditions.
5.3-litre V8 petrol
Pick the 5.3 V8 for classic V8 smoothness, dependable everyday performance and the best value entry to the line-up. It fits mixed metro and regional driving, school runs, holidays and regular towing within the 3,628 kg limit. Indicative consumption converts to about 17.1 L per 100 km city and 12.6 L per 100 km highway. Real-world results vary with load, traffic and wheel choice.
6.2-litre V8 petrol
Select the 6.2 V8 if you want confident passing power, mountain-grade composure and the most effortless performance. It is ideal for heavier payloads, regional overtakes and owners who simply enjoy the flagship feel. Based on equivalent models, expect combined use in the mid-to-high teens L per 100 km, with actual results dependent on specification and terrain.

Towing, ride and everyday usability
With a maximum braked towing capacity of 3,628 kg, the Suburban is a confident tow partner for Australian caravans and trailers. Independent rear suspension, long wheelbase stability and available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension help settle loads and smooth corrugations. Magnetic Ride Control reads the road surface and adjusts damping rapidly, so the big Chevy remains composed on rough rural bitumen. The relocated column shifter frees up console space, the 360-degree camera makes tight petrol station lanes simple, and the separate opening rear glass is perfect for quick loading stops.
