2026 Chevrolet Suburban Z71: Roslyn Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Suburban Z71
Suburban Z71 starts at $73,700 MSRP before the $2,795 destination charge and is the off-road-focused trim in the six-trim 2026 lineup: an off-road-tuned suspension, Z71 badging and appearance, and an optional 420-hp 6.2L V8 alongside the standard 355-hp 5.3L. It's the one non-LS trim that skips Super Cruise. In stock now at East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn.
The trim for the family with a boat launch on the itinerary
Most full-size SUV shoppers on the North Shore are thinking about a driveway and a loaded cargo hold, not a trailhead. Z71 is built for the ones who also want the rougher-road margin: an off-road-tuned suspension plus Z71 appearance and badging set it apart from the road-focused trims, and Chevrolet still lets a buyer choose the engine, the standard 355-hp 5.3L V8 or the optional 420-hp 6.2L V8, the same choice available on RST and Premier. It's a trim that makes sense for a family with a weekend place further out on the Island, a marina access road that's seen better pavement, or simply a driver who wants a more rugged look without stepping down in size.
One trade-off worth knowing up front: Z71 is the only non-LS trim in the lineup that doesn't offer Super Cruise. If hands-free highway driving on the Long Island Expressway matters alongside the off-road capability, that's the one box Z71 can't check.
What Z71 adds over LT
Z71 swaps in an off-road-tuned suspension along with its own badging and appearance, plus the skid-plate and all-terrain-oriented equipment that typically comes with GM's Z71 package across its truck and SUV lineup. Like RST, it opens up the optional 420-hp 6.2L V8 on top of the standard 5.3L, and towing climbs to 8,200 lbs max once that upgraded engine and trailering configuration are both in place.

$73,700, before the $2,795 destination charge, taxes, title, registration, and any dealer-installed options.
Does the Suburban Z71 have Super Cruise?

Can I get the 6.2L V8 on the Z71?

Is the Suburban Z71 actually built for off-road use?
It carries an off-road-tuned suspension and Z71 appearance and badging, in line with GM's Z71 package across its truck and SUV lineup.
