Finally, it seems that Chevrolet’s spreading its coveted Super Cruise hands-free driving aid to yet more vehicles, with the next ones in line being the premium and large Tahoe and Suburban SUVs. This marks the first time any Chevy SUV has gotten this system, which has been available for the Silverado 1500 since the 2022 model year, as well as on the Bolt EUV electric hatchback. Along with the hands-free driving capabilities, the Tahoe and Suburban will both gain new colors and a new accessory grille for 2023.
First up, though, is that Super Cruise feature, which will only be available for the Premier and High Country trim levels on both the Tahoe and Suburban. While it is limited to certain roads and is a “pay-for-play” feature (once the included trial period expires), it gives both SUVs true, hands-free driving even while towing a trailer. While the 2023 Tahoe and Suburban are scheduled to go into production in the summer of 2022, there isn’t any firm date on the availability of Super Cruise. As noted in the release from Chevrolet, “Due to current supply-chain shortages, Super Cruise will have limited or late availability. Availability is subject to change.”
What Chevy is able to confirm are new optional grilles for the LS, LT, RST, and Premier trims of both SUVs. These grilles will be black with “Chevrolet” script writing, similar to the grilles you can buy from your dealer’s parts department to install on your Silverado. The “Chevrolet” script replaces the Bow Tie emblem, reminiscent of the current generation Silverado HD’s grille. Chevrolet also confirmed that three new colors will be available for the Tahoe and Suburban: Silver Sage Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, and Radiant Red Tintcoat. Only the Radiant Red Tintcoat will be an upcharge while the Sage and Gray Metallics will be no-cost color options. At the time of this writing, Chevrolet has not mentioned the extra cost of the Radiant Red, the new grille, or the cost of Super Cruise. However, we know that the Super Cruise is $2,500 on the Silverado but also requires additional accessories for functionality. It will also require a monthly service fee after the three years of free service which is $25 per month for the Super Cruise subscription or $15 per month when bundled with OnStar’s service.
