2022 Chevrolet Suburban

GM Authority (opens in a new tab) says a new 10-speed automatic with code MHS is added and standard on models with either V8 engine, and that the driver information center changes, with the base 4.2-inch unit standard only on Commercial and LS models and a new system standard on LT, RST, Z71, Premier and High Country. Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) adds wider availability of the optional 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8 on the RST, Z71 and Premier, and newly standard automatic high-beams, front and rear parking sensors and lane-keeping assist.

Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) puts used 2022 Suburbans at $32,900 for the Commercial to $43,100 for the High Country at a dealership, and rates fuel economy at 14/19 to 15/20 mpg city and highway. EPA rates the 2022 Suburban at 16 to 23 mpg combined and $3,650 to $4,850 a year in fuel, with rear- or four-wheel drive, the top figure belonging to the diesel.

NHTSA lists four recall campaigns for the 2022 Suburban. 25V274000 covers 6.2-liter V8 gas engines whose connecting rod or crankshaft components may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage and failure, and dealers inspect the engine and repair or replace it as needed. 22V617000 covers a rivet in a third-row seat belt buckle assembly that may have been improperly formed, 22V903000 covers daytime running lights that may not deactivate when the headlights are on, and 26V085000 covers 2022 models with the 10-speed transmission whose control valve may fail and lock up the rear wheels, fixed with a software update.

Owners have filed 123 complaints with NHTSA: engine with 61, power train with 32, electrical system with 22, fuel and propulsion system with 12, unknown or other with 10 and seat belts with 6. Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) keeps a common-problems page for the year.

EPA rates the 2022 Suburban at 16 to 23 mpg combined and $3,650 to $4,850 a year in fuel. The GMC Yukon lists the same 16 to 23 and $3,650 to $4,850, the Ford Expedition 17 to 19 at $3,300 to $3,650, and the Toyota Sequoia 14 to 15 at $4,150 to $4,450. The Suburban's diesel gives it the highest top figure of the four.
