2013 RCM Suburbia

The popular second generation Suburbia received a thorough facelift for 2013, updating styling and equipment to remain a popular choice with families buying into the booming crossover segment. Available with standard seating for five with an optional third row to bring seats up to seven, the Suburbia was an all-rounder in the practical midsize crossover segment.

The big change for 2013 was an available turbocharged I4 on FWD models to offer better fuel economy than the standard V6. The 3.5L V6 was carried over and revised, bumping power up to 222 hp and torque to 231 lb-ft. When paired with the standard 6-speed automatic and the optional AWD, the 0-100 km/h sprint took 8.6s and fuel economy was 23 MPG.

Other changes for 2013 included the revised styling featuring LED daytime running lights, an infotainment system as standard equipment, and upgraded safety equipment.
