An armoured Chevrolet Suburban, the latest proposal from Inkas

Armoured cars are usually a type of vehicle much in demand among high-net-worth individuals seeking protection against external attacks or kidnapping attempts. Cars that withstand attacks from people who are not much for conversation and good company, and who prefer the sound of assault rifles as a way of introducing themselves, and which are becoming increasingly common. Above all, in the United States.

The specialist in this type of vehicle, Inkas, which we have already discussed on other occasions, has presented a new armoured vehicle based on the Chevrolet Suburban. A vehicle designed to take considerable punishment without suffering serious damage. Work has been done on this model, and it features armour capable of stopping bullets from an AK-47 assault rifle and even hand grenade explosions.

The CEN 1063 BR 6 certification allows it to overcome these issues, and to do so, exterior panels have been added to the outside with armour capable of stopping bullets and mitigating the effects of explosions. In addition, Inkas has installed reinforced ballistic glass, stronger door hinges, run-flat tyres and an upgraded suspension system.

This is what is offered as standard, although there is the option to include an external siren and an external loudspeaker system, high-performance braking components, a fire suppression system, high-strength wheels and emergency lights. To improve safety and comfort, Inkas also recommends fitting the executive interior package.

This consists of a partition separating the front and rear compartments, a large LED screen and a premium sound system. The interior of this armoured 2021 Chevrolet Suburban does not differ from the base model, but that is already quite impressive, so not much more is needed.

Looking at the engine, nothing has been changed, so it has the same powertrains as the base version. We recall that it features a Duramax turbo-diesel engine, a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder producing 277 CV and 624 Nm of torque, as well as a 5.3-litre V8 generating 355 CV and 519 Nm, and a 6.2-litre V8 with 420 CV and 624 Nm.
