If you’re thinking about getting behind the wheel of the new Suburban, you might wonder what exactly has changed. Besides the exquisite exterior styling, here are the major changes and upgrades you’ll notice in the 2015 Suburban:
Quieter Ride
Thanks to the acoustic laminated windshield, triple sealed doors, and extra insulation all around. Engine noise has been isolated considerably as well.
New Technology
Like Chevrolet MyLink and more charging stations than you could have imagined (up to 6 USB ports).
New Safety Features
Such as Side Blind Zone Alert, Lane Change Alert, Theft Protection Package, and OnStar Automatic Crash Response.
-Put the cell phone down.
Turn it off if the sound of a text alert or call will tempt you to check it. This seems like an obvious one, but according to the Official US Government Website for Distracted Driving, approximately 660,000 drivers are using cell phones or manipulating electronic devices while driving at ANY given daylight moment in America.
-Don’t eat or drink while driving.
It’s tempting to swing by a drive-thru and hop back on the road to make good time on your trip. But think about the risks involved–fiddling with wrappers, finding condiment packages, and dealing with the mess made are all distractions that take your eyes off the road. Think about whether shaving that extra hour off your trip is worth cutting your life or the lives of others short.
-Clean up & fuel up.
Make sure your windshield is clean, oil changed, and vehicle generally maintained BEFORE you start your travels! Seeing your check engine light switch on or struggling with low visibility due to windshield grime is an avoidable distraction–so avoid it.

1) Get Your Shut Eye: We all get a little grumpy when we’re exhausted. A lot of the time this grumpiness gets taken out on the drivers around us. Enough sleep= happier driving.
2) Your Car is Not a Refuge: It’s tempting to take a drive “just to blow off some steam”. Though it may seem like a good idea at the time, it never really is. Getting in your car when you’re stressed or angry can spell trouble for you and the people around you.
3) Turn Down the Jams: Listening to music in your car can be relaxing when you listen to slower music or even talk radio. The problem stems from when you listen to music with the bass turned up too loud, or listen to aggressive music. Aggressive music= aggressive driving. Keep calm, others drivers will thank you for it.
