Interior details

The 2020 Chevy Tahoe has a variety of interior style options, making it easy to find one that suits you. If you want to maximize passenger space, choose the LS trim with bench seats in the first, second, and third rows, which will allow you to carry nine people. For a more spacious feel, choose the LT or Premier trim with captain's chairs in the first and second rows. All 2020 Tahoes come with five USB ports. You'll find 15.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and 51.7 cubic feet when the third row is folded flat. Upscale features like ventilated leather seats (standard on the Premier trim) and a sunroof (available on the LT and Premier trims) make the 2020 Tahoe feel luxurious.

Child seat details

The 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe has LATCH anchors in every second-row position. That means you can fit three car seats across if you have a bench seat, or two if you have captain's chairs in the second row. The third row is equipped with rear car seat tethers. Although getting car seats into the back row can be challenging, it's a good option to have in a pinch. With that in mind, the Tahoe can fit up to five car seats: three in the middle-row bench and two in the third-row outboard positions.

Performance

The 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe comes standard in all trims with a 5.3L V8 engine that generates 355 hp. With that engine, the 2020 Tahoe goes from zero to 60 in 6.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 144 mph (according to the manufacturer, when new). That engine can tow an estimated 6,600 lbs., increasing to 8,600 lbs. with the available Max Trailering Package (when properly equipped).

A 420-hp 6.2L V8 engine is available on the Premier trim. That engine accelerates from zero to 60 in 6.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 155 mph (according to the manufacturer, when new). It can also tow an estimated 8,400 lbs., when properly equipped.

Year comparison

2007-2014 Chevrolet Tahoe (third generation)

The third generation of the Chevrolet Tahoe had two V8 engine options. The standard was a 290-hp 4.8L V8, while a 320-hp 5.3L V8 was an available option. A hybrid Tahoe was briefly available during this generation before being discontinued. In 2014, rear parking sensors and a review camera became standard. This generation offered seating options for seven to nine people.

2015-2020 Chevrolet Tahoe (fourth generation)

The fourth generation of the Tahoe was introduced with a standard 355-hp 5.3L engine. In 2018, an available 420-hp 6.2L V8 engine was introduced. The fourth generation focuses on creature comforts, with more legroom in the middle row and a quieter cabin. 2017-2020 models come with many standard features, including remote start, rain-sensing wipers, and more.

2021-present (fifth generation)

The fifth generation of the Tahoe introduces more engine options and more space. 2021-2022 models come standard with a 355-hp 5.3L V8 engine. A 420-hp 6.2L V8 and a 277-hp turbodiesel engine are available options. The fifth-generation Tahoe is longer than previous generations, with 10 additional inches of legroom in the third row, making it plenty comfortable for adult passengers.
