The SUV is the most popular auto segment in the US. SUVs provide ample seating and cargo space and an elevated driving position that enhances confidence and clarity, and their designs prioritize comfort, convenience, and connectivity. With this in mind, you will find that many brands offer a number of SUV options in their lineup, including Chevy. In fact, Chevy offers seven different SUV models, with two available as EVs, which means you have nine choices to consider when looking at this lineup.
You can view this extensive SUV lineup at LaFontaine Chevrolet Buick GMC of St. Clair, your local Chevy dealer near Clinton Township.

If you’re in the market for an SUV, we invite you to check out the bowtie brand’s lineup, with models that include…
The Classic Suburban
The oldest SUV in the Chevy lineup is also the largest. Considered the first-ever SUV, the Chevy Suburban was first introduced in 1935; it offered seating for eight and was built on a truck chassis with a station wagon body. Today’s Suburban is still designed to haul large groups of people, with a seating capacity of up to nine, and it remains the longest-running nameplate in the American auto industry.
US News & World Report has named the Suburban the best large SUV for families for multiple years running. It offers some of the most advanced technology in the industry, including Super Cruise, Chevy’s hands-free driving tool. This SUV also has a best-in-class cargo volume, ensuring there is room for everyone and everything. If a large SUV isn’t what you need, you might consider one of the following options…

Trax and Trailblazer
Size isn’t always the first thing on drivers’ minds when searching for an SUV. Many commuters around the Clinton Township area want a smaller SUV that focuses on efficiency and is easy to maneuver in tight spaces like parking garages and city streets. Understanding this, you will want to check out the two SUVs at the subcompact end of Chevy’s lineup, the Trax and the Trailblazer. Both options are perfect for commuters or individual drivers who simply want an SUV for the flexibility they offer.
The Trax is the newest SUV in the lineup, arriving in 2015. The first version of this subcompact SUV was offered until 2022, when it was briefly discontinued, and it reappeared in 2024 with a complete redesign that offered drivers more room and more value. The Trailblazer has also been redesigned, with its roots dating back to 1999 when it was a trim option for the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer before becoming a standalone SUV in 2002; that version was manufactured until 2009 and reentered the lineup in 2019.
Both of these SUVs have a lot going for them, including a sporty vibe, a modern look inside and out, and a long list of safety and technology features that keep you and your passengers safe and engaged whether you’re headed down the block or taking a road trip. They are also both easy on the budget, with the top trim for the Trax starting at a little over $24k and the top-tiered Trailblazer coming in at just under $28k.
Equinox and Blazer
The Equinox and Blazer deliver something the other SUVs in the lineup don’t: the option to transition to an electric vehicle. Of course, you can also stick with the gas-powered version—but either way, you will get an SUV that has stood the test of time, with both having fared well in the lineup for several years. When comparing the two, note that the Equinox is a compact SUV while the Blazer is a midsize SUV.
Still, don’t let that distinction be the decider when comparing the two, as both offer seating for five. The truth is that Chevy is a master at design, ensuring each of its vehicles delivers a powerful punch regardless of their size. Inside these two options, you’ll find plenty of legroom and headroom, ample cargo space, and a number of storage cubbies to ensure everything remains organized during the drive.
You’ll also enjoy the comfort and convenience these two SUVs deliver. Like the Trax and Trailblazer, these two have a long list of features that ensure optimal engagement along the way, including a seamless connection for compatible phones and available Google Built-in functionality. You’ll also enjoy the optional OnStar, allowing you to access your SUV remotely and much more.
Last but not least, when it comes to their exteriors, the Equinox and Blazer are hard to beat, with unique colors, aerodynamic styling, and optional two-toned roofs. Additionally, trim levels such as the RS take their design to the next level, giving you a sporty and sleek vibe that simply looks good and feels even better behind the wheel. Of note, the Trailblazer also has the RS trim if you would prefer a subcompact SUV.

Traverse and Tahoe
Rounding out the Chevy SUV lineup are the midsize Traverse and the full-size Tahoe. Like the Equinox and Blazer, both of these options have been a part of the Chevy lineup for a long time. The Traverse is a great option for growing families or individuals who want space for both passengers and cargo, as it offers room for up to eight people and best-in-class cargo volume. It was also ranked as #1 for New Vehicle Quality among Upper Midsize SUVs by JD Power for the 2024 model year.
Additionally, if you enjoy off-roading, the Traverse offers a Z71 trim level that is ready to go when you are. Other perks you will find as you slide into the driver’s seat of the Traverse are the best-in-class standard 17.7-inch color touchscreen, the powerful 2.5L turbocharged engine option, premium seating, and high-quality materials throughout. Also, the RS trim level offers a sporty vibe and a long list of amenities, including an Enhanced Driving Package that adds Super Cruise hands-free driving.
For Clinton Township drivers who need just a bit more room, the full-size Tahoe is a great option, offering up to 122.9 cu.ft. of cargo space, as well as room for you and seven passengers. Plus, you’ll love the power it offers, giving you three engine options to consider. The Tahoe is the ideal choice for drivers who want a sophisticated SUV that also allows them to enjoy every mile; this is thanks, in part, to the available Magnetic Ride Control and Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension.
With these, your ride height and comfort can be adjusted to enhance efficiency, offer more clearance when needed, and make it easier to get in and out of the SUV. Other thoughtful design elements available for certain trims include power-retractable assist steps and a hands-free power liftgate. If you want a large SUV, but not quite as large as the Suburban, consider the Chevy Tahoe.
