What is a 2021 Suburban worth?

A 2021 Chevrolet Suburban is typically worth around $40,000 to $70,000 in today’s used-car market, depending on mileage, trim level, and condition. Lower-mileage, well-optioned models tend toward the higher end; higher-mileage or base-spec units trend lower.


To understand that range and what affects it, this report breaks down the main value drivers, offers typical price bands by mileage, and provides practical steps to check current market pricing in your area.


Key drivers of value


Several factors determine how much a 2021 Suburban will fetch on the market. The most influential are:



  • Mileage

  • Trim level and equipment packages

  • Overall condition and maintenance history

  • Vehicle history (accidents, title status)

  • Location and local demand

  • Optional features such as 4WD, max tow, sunroof, leather seating, and advanced safety tech


Understanding these factors helps buyers and sellers calibrate expectations and set a fair asking or bidding range.


Typical value ranges by mileage


The following ranges reflect broad market data and typical asking prices observed in late 2025 across the United States. They are intended as guidance; actual prices will vary by trim, condition, and regional market fluctuations.



  • 0–20,000 miles: roughly $52,000–$70,000

  • 20,000–40,000 miles: roughly $48,000–$60,000

  • 40,000–60,000 miles: roughly $40,000–$55,000

  • 60,000–100,000 miles: roughly $35,000–$48,000

  • 100,000+ miles: roughly $28,000–$42,000


These ranges illustrate how mileage influences resale value, with low-mileage examples commanding higher prices, especially in higher trims with desirable options.


Trim-level value differences


Different trims add or subtract value based on features and perceived desirability. Here is a quick guide to typical value differentials across the main trims:


LS and LT


LS is the base trim with essential features; LT adds more comfort and convenience equipment. Expect the LT to carry a premium relative to LS, typically in the low-to-mid several-thousand-dollar range depending on options.


Premier and High Country


Top trims such as Premier and High Country command the highest price premiums, thanks to leather seating, upgraded audio, advanced driver-assist systems, and appearance packages. In the market, top-trim Suburbans often exceed the LT price by several thousand dollars, and sometimes by more than $10,000 with premium options and low mileage.


How to verify current value today


To pin down a precise figure for a specific Suburban, consult multiple reputable sources and compare the numbers against your local inventory. Follow these steps:



  1. Check official valuation guides from Kelley Blue Book (KBB), Edmunds, and NADA, and note TMV or average asking prices for your region and trim.

  2. Review current local listings (dealer and private party) for similarly equipped Suburbans in your area to gauge the going rate.

  3. Get a vehicle history report to confirm ownership, accidents, and title status; a clean history can boost value.

  4. Assess condition and mileage; document any wear, recent maintenance, tires, brakes, and any outstanding recalls or needed fixes.

  5. Consider vehicle-specific options (4WD, towing packages, sunroof, seating capacity) that can affect desirability and price.


With a careful comparison, you can determine a fair price to pay or ask when trading in or selling a 2021 Suburban.


Bottom line and practical tips


Bottom line: use multiple sources, be honest about condition, and adjust for regional demand. If you want the best value, target the sweet spot of low mileage, premium trim, and a clean history, and be prepared to negotiate with buyers who may offer slightly below average for specific features.


Summary


In the current market, a 2021 Suburban generally sits in a broad value band shaped by mileage, trim, and condition. Expect roughly $40,000 to $70,000, with top trims and low mileage nudging toward the upper end. For a precise figure, compare TMV estimates from KBB, Edmunds, and NADA, scan local listings for similar vehicles, and consider factors like optional equipment and vehicle history. A well-documented, low-mileage example with desirable features will typically command the strongest price, while higher-mileage or less-equipped models will fall toward the lower end of the spectrum.
