A full-size SUV for the whole family

The 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe is a full-size, truck-based SUV that is a popular vehicle choice for large families and outdoor enthusiasts. It will fit nicely with your lifestyle if you carry a lot of cargo or move heavy loads. The Tahoe provides a comfortable ride and, despite its large size, is easy to drive. The 2019 Chevy Tahoe’s seating capacity comes standard for eight people with two bucket seats up front and three-passenger bench seats in the middle and rear—however, if you need seating for nine, the LS trim of the Tahoe is available with a front bench seat option that replaces the bucket seats and center console.

5 reasons to buy the 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe

1. Light on its feet

Chevrolet Tahoe: Front Seats | CarMax

Despite the 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe being on the larger side, weighing in at 5,547 lbs. with the Premier trim, it is known for being light on its feet and having light steering as well. This makes it easier to maneuver even when driving within the confines of a city, and it provides a quiet, comfortable ride for both the driver and passengers. Four-wheel drive is important, whether it be because of climate or lifestyle choice, so you'll also be pleased to know 4x4 is standard on all 2019 Tahoe trim levels. If you'd like the Tahoe with front-wheel drive, you can choose this feature on the LS trim.

2. Plenty of usable space

Drivers and shotgun riders have access to 42.8 inches of headroom and 45.3 inches of legroom, while the second and third-row passengers have over 38 inches of headroom and over 34 inches in legroom. For 2019, the Chevrolet Tahoe includes power-release seats in the second and third rows that fold flat.
