When your Lansing, East Lansing, or Grand Ledge, MI commute requires a spacious and powerful SUV, the Chevy Suburban and the GMC Yukon offer many similarities. In fact, on surface level, these models could pass as twins.
The team at Feldman Chevrolet of Lansing knows there are key differences that set these two models apart, and we’ll share them with you in this Chevy Suburban vs. GMC Yukon comparison. Let’s get started!

Your SUV says a lot about your personality. Make sure you drive the model that best matches your aesthetic. Will that be the Suburban or the Yukon? It’s time to find out!
When choosing between these SUVs, it’s important to choose one that offers more options. You’ll find that with the Chevy Suburban since it offers six different trim levels. Each trim provides something unique. For example, the Suburban LT boasts convenience with features like wireless charging, while the Suburban High Country aims to provide the most comfortable commute with the addition of Magnetic Ride Control™.
While you’ll find options with the Yukon, these options are limited. That’s because this SUV offers fewer trim levels. As a result, you’ll be less likely to find the trim level that offers the specific features you want.
Picking a color that matches your aesthetic is equally important when car buying. Again, those who choose to drive the Chevy Suburban will have more options to choose from. Ten different vibrant and timeless hues are found with the Suburban with popular options including:
- Silver Sage
- Auburn
- Empire Beige
- Midnight Blue
The Yukon, on the other hand, maxes out at eight exterior color options.
With both models measuring at least 200 inches long, you’d expect they’d offer similar dimensions. You’d be surprised at how much extra space you’ll find inside the Chevy Suburban.
Whether you’re making a quick trip across town or embarking on a road trip, wiggle room is a coveted feature that can’t be overlooked. Luckily, drivers who choose the Suburban will have ample wiggle room across all three rows of seats.
You’ll notice the Yukon puts up a good fight, offering nearly identical dimensions except for one important area: legroom. The Suburban excels in this area, offering 36.7 inches of third-row legroom in comparison to a maximum of 34.9 inches of legroom in the Yukon.
Gone are the days of leaving bags behind on trips. The Chevy Suburban and the GMC Yukon offer ample cargo space. Though, you’ll be amazed with how much more space is found inside the Suburban:

---|---|---|
Minimum Cargo Capacity | 41.5 cu. ft. | 25.5 cu. ft. |
Cargo Behind Second Row | 93.8 cu. ft. | 72.6 cu. ft. |
Maximum Cargo Capacity | 144.7 cu. ft. | 122.9 cu. ft. |
Across the board, you’ll have more space to pack bags, groceries, and sports equipment with the Suburban than you’ll have in the Yukon.
You were made to get out and explore. You’ll find that each SUV offers a trim level that excels in off-roading, but which one offers the features you need?
The Suburban Z71 and the Yukon AT4 were designed to conquer whatever comes its way. You’ll find many similarities in features between these models, including:
- Red recovery hooks
- Performance underbody skid plates
- Available 4-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension
Each trim also comes with 20-inch wheels in a Technical Gray finish to help add a sporty look, making either of these models perfect for climbing over hills and rocky roads.
While these trim levels offer similar features, ultimately, it’s the Chevy Suburban Z71 that will better help you conquer unforgiving terrain thanks to its EPA-estimated 15 city/19 highway MPG rating.
Coupled with its 28-gallon fuel tank, you can travel up to an estimated 532 miles without needing to stop to refuel. The GMC Yukon AT4 only lets you travel up to 480 miles, meaning you’ll likely have to cut your off-roading adventures short.
While the Chevy Suburban and the GMC Yukon have their similarities, the Chevy Suburban is our winner. With more customization options, extra space, and a better fuel efficiency rating, the Suburban is the perfect addition to your Lansing, East Lansing, and Grand Ledge, MI travels.
