The GMT400-based Suburbans were introduced in December 1991 for the 1992 model year. The similarpickup truckmodels had switched to the newer platforms in the 1988 model year. Both 2WD and 4WD models, designated "C" and "K", were offered, as well as half ton and three-quarter ton ("1500" and "2500") models.

The base engine for all variants was thesmall-block 5.7 liter (350cuin) V8. Thebig-block 7.4L (454cuin) V8was optional for the 2500 series. The optional6.5 L Turbo dieselwas available on all models - though rare on the 1500 series. The 6.5 L Turbo diesel used in the Tahoe was detuned to 380lbâ‹…ft (520Nâ‹…m) torque due to the limitation of the 8.5-inch (220mm) axle capacity. 1500 Suburbans with the 6.5 L Turbo diesel used the 14 bolt axle from the 2500 series. Ground clearance was 6.9inches, the approach angle was 18 degrees for the K-1500 (28 degrees for the K-2500) and the break over angle was 18 degrees.[41]

Transmissions included the4L60four-speed automatic in the 1500 series, and the heavier duty4L80four-speed automatic in the 2500 series and the 1500 series fitted with the 6.5 L Turbo diesel. The manual transmission option from the previous generation was dropped.

The GMT400 series introducedindependent front suspension. The 2WD models usedcoil springsand 4WD models usedtorsion barsin the front suspension. All models used alive axleandleaf springsin the rear.

0-60mph time for a 1995 Suburban was 9.3seconds. Top speed of a 1995 Suburban is governed on the engine for economy. A maximum of 98mph (158km/h) can be obtained.[41]City fuel economy was 13mpg‑US(18L/100km)[41]and highway was 15mpg‑US(16L/100km).[41]The turning circle was 47.8ft (14.6m).[41]In 1996, fuel economy had improved to 17mpg‑US(14L/100km) highway.[42]

Trim options included a base-level version, the LS, and the LT. Interior seating arrangements allowed for either bucket or bench seating in the first row, and optional third row bench. The vehicle could be configured from two- to nine-passenger seating.

Beginning in 1994, GM began making numerous annual changes to the Suburban, including:
