Handling and Braking
A truck-based SUV like the 2012 Chevrolet Suburban will never be agile, but test drivers say that it has a smooth ride for the class, and they appreciate its nicely-tuned steering and brakes. Reviewers are impressed that the Suburban is so easy to drive, given that it's longer than most other SUVs, and say that its brakes feel strong, though they aren’t quite linear. "The Suburban's size and weight also impact its handling -- nimble it is not. The suspension does manage to provide a fairly smooth ride just the same, ...more a quality enhanced by the relative quiet of the passenger cabin.” -- less
Edmunds
"Guiding a Suburban is effortless, the steering nicely weighted and direct by truck standards. At 18.5 feet long and 6.6 wide the Suburban isn't ideal for congested ...more
areas but it's quite maneuverable for its size; it needs 43 feet of road to make a U-turn (45.3 for the 2500), but that's just a yard more than some two-seaters and small sedans.” -- less
New Car Test Drive
"Smooth, quiet, and competent for a vehicle in this size class; ponderous, too.”
