Here’s the upcoming ’21 Chevy Suburban RST (GM only showed the Tahoe RST) completely undisguised on the street, providing a first look at the vehicle.

The Suburban RST adds a “street-inspired” exterior design to the fullsize SUV, featuring a unique front and rear treatment. Meanwhile, other body features that are finished chrome on other ’21 Suburban models are blacked-out on this model. Inside, the Suburban RST is finished off with RST-specific seats, which feature contrast-color stitching.

Standard power comes from the 5.3L V8 engine, which packs 355 hp and 383 lb.-ft. of torque. The RST can also be equipped with the 3.0L I6 turbo-diesel Duramax engine, which has 277 hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines will be mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

GM originally planned to launch the ’21 Suburban in mid-2020, though it’s possible that the coronavirus pandemic could end up delaying that timeline.

The expedition looks alot better. The only thing that Suburban has going is the optional diesel for MPG. as far as power goes the EcoBoost has much more go.

Also no 6.2L option? 5.3 is a dog.

I don't see the point. As stated, front end is awful and bland. Doesn't make enough power to be of any major significance in general or more importantly versus the competition. Hell, it doesn't even have the red stripes on the rims like other "sporty" Chevy models. It's like they began building it with the intention of making it cool and changed their minds at the last second. I suppose it doesn't matter at the end of the day. All the 5'1" soccer moms will still drive them around like they're the baddest brauds on the road.

There is a 2020? Tahoe RST that if you check all the boxes comes with a LS3/10 speed (other engines are 6 speed) and 6 piston brakes.
