Holden Suburban

The Holden Suburban was the eighth generation Chevrolet Suburban, a full-size SUV, which Holden imported to Australia and New Zealand in right-hand-drive form from Silao, Mexico, between February 1998 and January 2001. It was first previewed at the Sydney Motor Show in October 1997, and in total 746 were sold, 460 petrol and 286 diesel. There were three trim levels, a base model, the LS and the LT, and the model code was K8. The interior differed from the American version because the right-hand-drive dashboard of the Blazer was used and stretched on the passenger side to fit the larger Suburban; the LT received bucket seats and seated eight against nine. Holden recommended a towing limit of 3,400 kilograms for the turbo diesels and 2,720 kilograms for petrol models. After 2001 later models reverted to the Chevrolet brand.
