Chevrolet’s Suburban Diesel is here
It’s a 3.0-liter Inline-six with 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque
Chevrolet claims 728 miles of range in one tank
Which Suburban should you buy? A few months ago I drove the new, 2021 Chevy Suburban for the first time. I found it soft and smooth and huge. And I found the V8 impressive. Moving to the other end of the spectrum, I recently found myself in the diesel-powered Suburban for a few days, and here are my thoughts.

First, the particulars. The “clean-sheet design” 3.0-liter inline-six is offered on all Suburban models except for the Z71. It’s rated at 277 hp and a healthy 460 lb-ft of torque.

Ineos Grenadier Inches Closer to Production after Buying Mercedes Plant

Will a new old-style Defender with BMW power catch on?

Ineos Grenadier

The Ineos Grenadier will be built in Hambach, France.
Ineos will keep producing the Smart EQ there.
Production is expected to begin in late 2021.

Ineos took an important step this week in becoming an automaker, having purchased a factory for the production of its Grenadier SUV and truck.

The Grenadier models, meanwhile, are scheduled to begin rolling off the assembly line at the plant in late 2021.

The Grenadier SUV and truck were developed with help from Austria’s Magna Steyr, a longtime engineering and supplier giant best known in the U.S. for producing the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The Grenadier is expected to be powered by BMW gas and diesel engines, and prototypes have already been shown to the public earlier this summer.
