Chevrolet Tahoe

The fifth-generation Tahoe arrived in 2021 with a bold new look, but the changes from its predecessor went well beyond fresh styling. The new Tahoe adopted a longer wheelbase and an independent rear suspension, providing an upgraded ride and increased passenger space. Six trims were offered at launch, and those have continued through to the current model year, providing a Tahoe for a range of needs. Initially, the Tahoe came standard with a 10.2-inch touchscreen display and wireless Android Auto™/Apple CarPlay®, but with the 2025 styling refresh, all Tahoes were upgraded to a new 17.7-inch display with the intuitive Google Built-in infotainment system. 

Chevrolet carried over the 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s from the previous generation, with the latter delivering a plentiful 420 horsepower. In addition, a new 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 was added to the mix, offering strong towing capability and EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 26 mpg on the highway.

Chevrolet introduced a modern, more streamlined style for the fourth-generation Tahoe, giving it a clear delineation from its predecessor. Built on a new platform, the updated Tahoe featured improved driving dynamics, enhanced aerodynamics, and better soundproofing for a quieter ride. Second-row passengers got added legroom, and both rows of seats easily folded for added versatility. Three trims were available at launch, topped by the LTZ (later renamed Premier), which came with high-end features like perforated leather trim, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and GM’s Magnetic Ride Control. An eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ was added as standard equipment for all trims in 2016.

The fourth-generation Tahoe arrived with a 5.3-liter V8 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, delivering 35 horsepower more than the outgoing Tahoe. A 6.2-liter V8 mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission was offered in 2018, putting out 420 horsepower. With either engine, the Tahoe could tow up to 8,600 pounds when properly equipped.
