2015 lt Chevrolet suburban review from a family of 5!
My suburban has been an awesome vehicle for my 5 person family. We live on a small hobby farm in a rural area. The 4wd gets used sometimes and that is a huge benefit! We love the space and the ability to haul all our kids sports gear, large bags of feed for our animals and even haul our animals around when needed! The only issue we have had is a breaking issue that later came out as a recall issue. They fixed it and we haven't had a problem since.

I recommend the suburban for a comfortable family car it has many great features.
The seats are very comfortable with many settings including heated and air conditioned. My suburban rides very well and seats 7 comfortably. A great feature is push button to fold the back seats.

It's a good ride and a great family car.
It's big enough for my whole family. It carries a lot of stuff. It is a nice ride.
accountCircle Kristen S
Great size and comfortable.
I love the size of my truck. The options and comfort is great. The shocks however are not so good even after having them changed twice since we have owned it. Also the gas mileage is not favorable but I need the space so it is a good trade off. The backup camera is an awesome feature as well. I would want to go without it now. Overall I would buy it again.

Our suburban is beautiful, comfortable, and gets good gas mileage.
We have a Suburban LTZ. We love all the features like the heated and cooled leather seats, the navigation system, the radio, the automatic hatch opening and closing with your foot, the rear seats fold flat, the second row bucket seats,the hidden compartment, and more.

2015 Chevrolet suburban with lots of options. I would highly recommend!
It is super comfortable. It has Bluetooth, Bose speaker system and lots of charging outlets. It even has a wireless charging pad built in. This suburban also has a heated steering wheel and heated seats. It also has rain-sensing windshield wipers. Absolutely love my suburban.

Magnetic Ride System Failure @ 63k miles = Disappointment
This is my third suburban and this particular car (2015) has always ridden rough when it comes to going over bumps. Two weeks ago, the car was bouncing all over the place - brought to the dealer and the Magnetic Ride System Failed and Struts/Shocks leaking. Extended Warranty will not cover cost. $2k later, no help from dealership and much frustration given this is a know issue - don't think I will buy another Suburban again. Beware - beautiful vehicle but too expensive to fix with all of the bells and whistles.

One of the things that to me is interesting is the color.
My vehicle for the most part is pretty reliable. It does have some minor issues. I just had to replace all of my tires but not that big of an issue. For the most part everything works. It can be a bit of a gas hog but as of right now gas isn't that expensive. My vehicle gets me and my family where we need to go.

Make sure it includes a roof rack but overall decent truck.
Good truck but prefer my previous truck which was a Yukon. I feel it did not handle the snow as well as the Yukon.
accountCircle Ashley H
Has potential to be a great vehicle if gm would fix known problems.
Paint has defect, car is barely 5 yrs old and paint and clear coat is coming off. Have had to replace body control module and ac condenser when car was only 3 yrs old and it also has the “Chevy shake” where the car vibrates uncontrollably at highway speeds.

Chevrolet suburban is a nice car to own.
A nice car that has good performance and I have had a very reliable driving experience. Car is very comfortable and spacious with many features and safety that is good to have but the car has problems with suspension and air conditioning problems that are just crazy insane. Have to pay to get those fixed. Otherwise very nice car to own.

Trading pluses and minuses.
My suburban gets pretty good gas mileage. It is 4-wheel drive and I do live in the country. It leaks air and is noisy. The back window and lift gate lets dirt in. It is not as well made as my other suburbans but the gas mileage and hill assist are better.
accountCircle Mary D
Size of the Suburban and Technology
It's very big and difficult to park. The sensors and backup camera are helpful, but still difficult in tight parking lots.
accountCircle Jennifer C
I believe people should know how quickly the vehicle started deteriorating and how badly GE service has been acting on fixing all that is torn up.
In the beginning, I loved how my suburban drove and rode so smoothly. There is more than enough room for my family of 6. My only complaint is in how quickly things started tearing up on the vehicle. So far I have fixed the a/c, transmission, safety sensors, DVD player, door lock, and replaced the shocks and struts. For the car to be less than 3 years old, this is a lot of problems.

What I love. What I love about the car.
It has too many features that my kids love. I also love that my steering wheel is heated. My kids love the 2 DVD players. I also like the feature that lets me know if someone is in my blind spot. Or if I get too close to another car. My husband loves that we can kick under the truck and the door will open without us hitting the button.

Best Large SUV Ever. Fits a family of 8
It is amazing, size, comfort, gas mileage. I should have gone with the bucket seats in the middle row, the bench seat in the middle leaves little leg room for the 3rd row. Drives like a dream. I love that it has backup camera, and a nice sized compartment where the touch screen is

Pros from Owners

likeFilled James J.

The size. The quality. The options. The sound. It gets good gas mileage considering it is size. It is extremely comfortable while travelling and very reliable. I love looking at it while walking up to it.

likeFilled Sandy A.

I love the size of my vehicle. It is perfect for hauling friends and family. I also love the look of the vehicle. The heated seats make it comfortable during the cold months. My children enjoy the DVD player and it has a great base model sound system.

likeFilled Heather A.

It is a great car, very spacious, gets decent gas mileage for large SUV. Drives really smooth and is quiet inside. Only issue I have had is with the AC. The seats can be flipped up or removed easily for more trunk space.

likeFilled Margaret D.

Back up camera, hidden compartment to store items, good gas mileage, smooth drive, lots of room especially in trunk, back row seats fold down, front row seats fold up, good electronics/screen, Bluetooth connectivity.

likeFilled Isamar M.

Pros of my vehicle include things such as; there's lots of storage space, fits the whole family, it drives incredibly smooth, it is over a very safe car, it is great for long road trips, the seats are removable, has many cup holders.

likeFilled Abby H.

It is big enough to carry our kids and all of their belongings, plus our dogs for day to day driving, or family road trips, and it is comfortable with upgrades like heated and cooled seats and a rear seat entertainment system.

likeFilled Jamie M.

Lots of space. Great amenities. Heated seats. Side mirror warnings. Drives comfortably. Seat and mirror memory. Great entertainment center. Bluetooth capabilities are awesome. Touch screen radio. Easy to streamline everything. Built in chargers.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled James J.

There are not any cons other than looking for places to park sometimes at a crowded event. The cost of maintenance can be a little costly depending on what needs to be replaced or repaired. I save on regular routines by doing it myself sometimes.

dislikeFilled Sandy A.

I have had several issues with my 2015 suburban and my previous suburban. On my 2015 suburban the air conditioner had to be replaced. My shocks had to be replaced which was around $1200-1500. The brakes went out without any warning or alert.

dislikeFilled Heather A.

The battery had to be replaced relatively early, I felt and then I have had trouble with the air conditioner. It has been quite costly and I still have not gotten it fixed. Other than that I am very pleased with the suburban.

dislikeFilled Margaret D.

No USB connector, trunk is angled downward so the stuff in trunk shifts and/or falls out the back when the door is opened, no sunroof, too little of space from the front row of seats and the last row of seats.

dislikeFilled Isamar M.

Seatbelts feel as though they are in odd placement and they feel a little uncomfortable to wear,, the in car phone option does not work very well and does not understand me very well,,windshield wipers do not work too good.

dislikeFilled Abby H.

It gets really bad gas mileage and has needed a few costly repairs like a fuel pump in only a few years. My husband's car is older but has not needed costly repairs. It is also so big, it barely fits in our garage.

dislikeFilled Jamie M.

Have to have the radio completely unlocked to enjoy all the features. The map only works if there is a route guide. The maps are not updated or you have to go through OnStar. You have to have OnStar. You can't see the DVD menu while in drive making it hard when you have small kids to get a movie started. You can't put a car seats on each side of the back if you plan on using the 3rd row.

So far it has been very reliable. I have not had any problems so far. The car has 40,000 miles and still running strong.

Is The 2015 Chevrolet Suburban A Good Value?

I paid 36,000 dollars. I purchased it used and with 38,000 miles. I personally feel I got an excellent deal on my suburban.
Terri G.
We bought used for $50,000 and now it is worth around $33,000. Brand new, this is a very pricey vehicle, but completely worth it.
Cyndi H.
Suburbans are pretty pricey! Brand new the average cost will be around $60k. Considering how large it is this is a decent value.
Valerie H.
I bought mine for $45,000 and for what I got when I bought mine used, I feel like I got a good deal. The best part is that if my family continues to grow, they'll fit comfortably
Enrique H.
The suburban is fairly expensive if you get all the options added. I still think it’s a good value for the money.
Lauren M.
39 thousand but I treated in a car but the value was worth it at first I was kind of hesitant but now it was the best thing I have bought
Scott B.
$60,000. Ours has a lot of upgrades, which we felt were worth the cost, but it is a very expensive vehicle and not a good value. We wanted four wheel drive and heated/cooled seats, and the rear seat... Read More
