Since their arrival on the market in 1992, these large utility vehicles have sold out. Yet, they offer nothing particularly spectacular compared to the models they replace. The exterior design and the mechanicals were designed as an evolution of the previous version. Whereas in the past, the bodies of these models were very rigid. As desired, the bodies are rock-solid. Furthermore, greatly improved build quality in recent years. The handling offers another surprise. On bumpy roads, both the Blazer/Yukon and the Suburban maintain their composure. The trajectory is always good, and the rear axle handles very respectably. It's worth noting the "isolation of the suspension components from the road, which greatly adds to the comfort. In addition, the interior  isn't a problem given the more than generous dimensions of these utility vehicles.
They are not without their faults, however. You shouldn't expect very precise and responsive steering, and the front seats don't offer all the support you need. Furthermore, the dashboard isn't unanimously appreciated, and its ergonomics could easily be improved. Rear-drive Suburbans carry the "C" designation, and 4-wheel-drive models use a "K" designation. The 1500- series Suburbans have a half-ton payload rating and the 2500 series a three-quarter ton rating.

From 1991 to 1999 with a 5.7-liter small-block - V8 engine with 254 horsepower, a 7.4-liter big block -V8 engine with 290 horsepower and a 6.5-liter V8 small block diesel engine with Turbocharging and 195 hp.

A 4-speed automatic transmission comes with all engines. Suburban 4X4s use General Motors' Insta-Trac 4WD system, which allows shifting in and out of 4WD on the fly. A floor-mounted transfer-case lever is standard. An electronic transfer case that uses dashboard buttons is optional. 

The 5.7-liter V8 engine is quite fuel-thirsty, especially when the vehicle is heavily loaded. On the other hand, the 6.5-liter V8 is significantly more economical and good acceleration. The Suburban is a "family" version of these utility vehicles. No other vehicle can carry as many people and luggage. Its price is almost as high as its size, but it meets the needs of those with very specific requirements. Like the Blazer/Yukon, the Suburban is derived from the full-size C/K pickup truck, with which it shares its mechanicals, front end, and dashboard. The choice of engines is even wider than with the 4x4 utility vehicles, because in addition to the 5.7-liter V8 gasoline engine and the 6.5-liter turbo diesel, it is also possible to choose from a order a 7.5-liter V8 developing 230 horsepower and 385 lb/ft of torque at 1600 rpm. With such statistics, it is possible to tow the most imposing trailers.

From the end of 1999 to 2005 with a 5.3-liter Vortec low-power V8 engine with 217 kW (295 hp), a 6-liter V8 engine with 246 kW (335 hp) and an 8.1-liter -V8-Bigblock with 235 kW (325 hp).

The Suburban based on the GMT 400 was introduced in model year 1992.  The same type pickup truck models were offered on newer platforms from model year 1998th There were again models with rear and four-wheel drive, as "C" and "K" referred, as well as those with 0.5 to. and 0.75 to. Payload ("1500" and "2500").

The base engine was the 5735cc V8 engine (Chevrolet Small Block). The V8 engine with 7440 cc displacement (Chevrolet Big Block) was available on request in the 2500th The 6.5 -Liter turbo diesel engine was available in all versions on request, although he was rarely ordered in the 1500.

For the 1500 there was the automatic transmission GM 4L60 with 4 stages, for the 2500 the more powerful automatic transmission GM 4L80. Manual transmissions were no longer offered.

Independent front suspensions were introduced with the GMT400. The rear-wheel drive models have coil springs and the four-wheel model’s torsion bars on the front axle. All models have a leaf-sprung rigid axle at the rear.

The 1995 Suburban accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.7 seconds. The turning circle diameter is 14.57 m. 

Three trim levels are offered, base, LS, and LT. LT is the top-of-the-line that includes leather seating surfaces. Seating for up to nine on three rows of bench seats is available. The middle bench seat splits and folds, and the rear bench is removable. Front bucket seats are optional with LS and LT trim.

The simplest equipment is the LS version, then follows the LT . There was either a seat or single seats in the first row of seats and on request there was a third row of seats. So, between 2 and 9 seats can be realized.

In the spring of 1995, General Motors introduced its new versions.The chassis has been modified at the rear, while the suspension geometry is exclusive to this version. In addition, the shock absorbers and springs are specially calibrated for the four-wheel drive version.

From 1994 there were innovations every year:

• Revised front end and 3rd brake light (1994)
• New interior with driver's airbag , new rearview mirrors (1995)
• New, uprated, more fuel-efficient 5.7-liter and 7.4-liter engines, electronically shiftable all-wheel drive, daytime running lights, entry-level lights and some interior modifications (1996)
• New transmissions, improved steering and passenger airbag (1997)
• Immobilizer and permanent four-wheel drive on request, new airbags, new steering and new gearboxes (1998)
• In 1999, no changes were made until the introduction of the new 2000s models.

Trailer towing capacity is 6500 pounds with the 1500 series and 10,000 pounds on the 2500 series with the 7.4-liter V-8.

In 1998, Holden introduced a right-hand version of the Suburban for the markets in Australia and New Zealand. The vehicles available with gasoline or diesel engines have the dashboard of the right-hand drive Chevrolet Blazer (1995-2005).
