The Chevrolet Suburban is the longest-running nameplate in automotive history, with production dating to the 1935 model year. That gives the Suburban 91 years in production as of 2026, which is a remarkable stretch for any vehicle nameplate. Early versions were truck-based wagons, built for people who needed more room than a regular car could offer. That basic idea still drives the model today. The Suburban has become a full-size SUV, but it still lives in the same practical lane: move people, cargo and gear without acting delicate about it. The Suburban has appeared in more than 1,750 films and TV shows, which helps explain why so many people recognize it even if they have never owned one.
