2019 Chevrolet Suburban Prices: MSRP vs Dealer Invoice vs True Dealer Cost w/ Holdback

When you need to take it all with you when you go, you need a behemoth of an SUV like the 2019 Chevrolet Suburban. With a passenger capacity of 9 and a towing capacity of 8,900 pounds, this is the SUV you want to steer along the journey. This year's Suburban comes in three trims - LS, LT, and Premier - and adds a brand new V8 engine option that will give you more power than ever before. This big, bold SUV features a rugged, handsome exterior with the interior of a luxury vehicle. It's perfect for the family or folks with an active social life.

2019 New Features

Perhaps the biggest news for the 2019 Chevrolet Suburban is the addition of a 6.2-liter V8 engine that packs a big wallop in power: 420 horsepower to be precise. Couple that with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and you've got a formidable powertrain that is perfect for folks who demand just a little more power than others. In 2019, Chevy decided to give this massive SUV an even greater amount of cargo space, too, and that's perfect for the kind of lifestyle that drivers of a big SUV lead. It's a three-row no-apologies SUV with a brand new luxury mindset.

Styles And Trims
 
The base model is the LS, and it already has plenty of attitude and standard features. Its standard 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine doesn't skimp on horsepower: 355 horsepower and 383 lbs-ft of torque. Keep in mind also that even the base trim is available in 4-wheel drive, if that's more your needs. Upgrade to the LT or Premier, and you're looking at some seriously eye-catching specs.

• A host of options are available for the LT, including keyless open, front and rear park assist, and ever so much more

• For beautiful wheels and even greater options, the Premier features 20" polished aluminum wheels, with more upgrade options available

• The Premier features a Bose® Centerpoint® Surround Sound 10-speaker audio system

All trims across the board have a staunch focus on safety. You get standard features like a 7-airbag system and Rear Vision Camera. Due to the size of this one, it's natural that you're going to want to add on some of the optional (and standard on some trims) features such as Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. And don't forget, if you have teenagers who will be driving this one, you're going to love the Teen Driver feature.

Driving Impressions of the 2019 Chevrolet Suburban
 
Depending on your needs, the Premier works out to be the "highest" trim with the most advanced premium features, but you're going to get a smooth drive with any trim of 2019 Chevrolet Suburban, even the base model. That's thanks to mechanical features such as Magnetic Ride Control and Premium Smooth Ride Suspension, two design features that absolutely increase the smoothness and quietness of your ride. Thanks to design applications like these two concepts, the Chevy Suburban rides as smooth as butter on even the roughest of pavement, and you can expect your interior passengers to be thankful for these designs.

This is a three-row SUV, so you can expect that Chevrolet has made sure to include goodies for those rows. For example, you can get a terrific Rear Seat Entertainment System. For drivers with children or teenagers, this setup comes in especially handy during long journeys. Thanks to premium stitching on the interior and spacious second row legroom and headroom, your passengers - up to 9 of them - are going to enjoy every smooth journey in the 2019 Chevrolet Suburban, and that's not always typical of an SUV of this size. It's like Chevrolet finally mastered the art of making a giant SUV feel like a smooth luxury vehicle.

Fuel economy is often a concern with larger SUVs, and it's true that you can't expect an SUV of this size to outdo a smaller economy SUV, but for its class, the Suburban holds its own, with city MPG at 15 and highway MPG at 22. Yes, it's more than a smaller SUV or compact car, but it's efficient for its class of vehicle, and what you gain in luxury interior and exterior features more than make up for the gas mileage.

Final Thoughts

The 2019 Suburban is more powerful than ever before, with massive amounts of towing and hauling capacity and a smooth, luxury interior that justifies its price tag. If you're on the hunt for a large SUV that gets the job done in every area, the Suburban is for you. It has a sophistication and ruggedness that few other SUVs in the world have, and Chevy never apologizes for the size. Sometimes bigger really is better.

How to Calculate The Dealer Cost of a Chevrolet Suburban 1500

Formula for Calculating Dealer Cost:

• Example: Base Chevrolet Suburban 1500 invoice price + the dealer Invoice price of all the options + destination - Holdback = Total Dealer Cost.
• What is Holdback? A hidden amount that manufacturers give back to a dealer. It is a percentage of the MSRP or the Invoice price.

Total Dealer Cost - Rebate and Incentive + Taxes / Licensing Fees = True Dealer Cost. (You can get rebates and incentives here)

Note: All Chevrolet Suburban 1500 MSRP, invoice and dealer cost dollar figures above are approximate amounts. Prices are subject to change without notice.

A note about rebates: Most rebates are subtracted from the "on the road" figure. In most cases, you can have the rebate if you are arranging your own financing or you are paying cash. If you decide to use the manufacturer’s low interest financing, you do not usually get the rebate. Ask your dealer for details.
