History/Overview
If you want an SUV with a bowtie badge on it, Chevrolet has you covered across a wide variety of price and size ranges. Take the Tahoe, the brand’s second-largest SUV, which boasts pickup-like capabilities in a truck not that much bigger than the Traverse crossover.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
There are no changes to the Tahoe this year; it was redesigned into its current generation in 2021 and saw minor updates last year.
Available Trims
Chevrolet offers the Tahoe in LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country trim levels. Engine choices include a 5.3L V8, a 6.2L V8, and a 3.0L inline-six turbodiesel. All engines come with a 10-speed transmission and either rear- or four-wheel drive.
Standard Features
Tahoe LS includes a limited-slip differential, 18-inch alloy wheels, side assist steps, LED headlights/taillights, six-speaker audio, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, power front seats, passive keyless entry, and three-zone A/C. Tahoe’s standard safety kit comprises automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, forward collision mitigation, front and rear park assist, and lane keep assist.
LT adds a 10.2-inch touchscreen, nine-speaker audio, heated front seats, an auto-dimming mirror, leather upholstery, and wireless phone charging.
RST gets 22-inch wheels, black roof rails, and perforated leather seating, and Z71 comes with a front skid plate, recovery hooks, and 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires.
Premier adds a dual exhaust, 20-inch all-season tires, auto-dimming side mirrors, bright exterior trim, multi-adjustable front seats, 10-speaker audio, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and steering wheel, blind spot monitoring, lane change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, a power-folding third-row seat, electric steering wheel adjustments, a power-sliding centre console, and electric-release second-row seats.
Finally, High Country adds the 6.2L engine, 22-inch wheels, surround-view cameras, a head-up display, a digital rearview mirror, and rear pedestrian alert.
Key Options
A driver alert package bundles blind spot monitoring with lane change and rear cross-traffic alerts. The trailering package brings enhanced powertrain cooling and a two-speed transfer case (LS, LT, RST only).
An LT signature package adds a panoramic roof, 20-inch wheels, and the trailering package.
The luxury pack combines surround-view cameras with rear pedestrian alert, power steering column, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, and power-release second- and third-row seats.
In Z71, an off-road capability package adds air suspension, an electronic limited-slip differential, and magnetic ride control suspension.
RST’s sport performance pack bundles the 6.2L engine with a dual exhaust and magnetic ride control.
Premier’s pair of premium packages add items like a panoramic roof, digital rearview mirror, trailer brake controller, and adaptive cruise; in High Country, these groups also bring power-retractable side steps.
Fuel Economy
Chevrolet’s fuel consumption estimates for the Tahoe start at 11.0/8.5 L/100 km (city/highway) with the diesel engine and RWD, and 11.7/9.0 L/100 km with 4WD.
The 5.3L V8’s ratings are 15.8/11.8 L/100 km, and 6.2L models are ranked at 16.6/13.1 L/100 km (city/highway).
Competition
The Tahoe’s direct competitors are the Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia, and Nissan Armada; the very similar GMC Yukon is worth a look, too. When you get into High Country territory, you can also compare the Tahoe to various luxury SUVs.
