There won’t be any big changes to the full-size Tahoe that Chevrolet sells in 2024.

Pros

• Large, strong engines.
• Optimal setting of the transmission.
• Large inside.

Cons

• The main suspension’s rough ride.
• Putting buttons in an awkward place.
• Incredibly inefficient gasoline engines.

A V-8 engine has always been in the most recent Tahoe models. The 5.3-liter, 355-hp block and the 6.2-liter, 420-hp block are available in a 3.0-liter diesel six-cylinder engine. Although the oil burner has the fewest horsepower, its 460 pound-feet of torque matches the V-8s. All Tahoes have ten-speed automatic transmissions and rear- or all-wheel drive. Off-road-capable Z71 basic V-8 engine was tested. A two-speed transfer case for regular four-wheel drive, undercarriage protection, and 20-inch all-terrain tires are included. Our sample car was silent at 65 mph on the highway, and the stop pedal felt substantial. Upper-level Premier and High Country versions have adjustable dampers, and the Z71 option adds air springs to manually or automatically alter the Tahoe’s ride height. The later and RST models both come with finished 22-inch wheels that make the car look better from the street.

Chevrolet offers many simple and advanced towing assistance systems. You can use GM’s Super Cruise feature without using your hands if you have the Premier or High Country trim level. The Tahoe’s crash test scores may be found on IIHS and NHTSA websites. Some important safety factors are:

• Self-adjusting emergency brakes and forward crash warnings.
• You should expect regular lane guidance and warnings as you exit.
• Hands-free adaptive speed control is available.

The full-size Tahoe’s cabin feels bigger than the cabins of smaller mid-size SUVs. Standard seating has three rows, and the chairs in the second row can be moved forward and backward to give people more options and a more comfortable way to sit back. The Tahoe’s independent rear suspension allows for a flat cargo floor within the vehicle. By lowering the middle and back seats, the trunk can expand to 123 cubic feet. Six carry-on luggage can fit under the third row as well. The new column shifter has been replaced by Chevy’s push-button and slider shifter mechanism, which is a pleasant touch. Having the control switch located on top makes the motorized, retractable center console lid appear like a gimmick. Overall, the Tahoe’s internal ergonomics are better, though.

This option is only on the Tahoe that gets the best gas mileage. It has a diesel engine that achieves 26 miles per gallon on the interstate and 21 miles per gallon in the city. The standard 5.3-liter V-8 and the extra 6.2-liter V-8 both get 20 mpg on the highway, but the basic V-8 is thought to use less gas in the city. We averaged 27 mpg in a diesel Tahoe on our 75-mph highway route as part of our thorough testing.

Seating makes road journeys more enjoyable, and the Tahoe’s entertainment and communication capabilities aid. A 10.2-inch tablet with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a Wi-Fi hotspot included in all versions. The Chevy with three rows of seats has many charging ports inside, a Bose sound system that can be added as an extra, and an entertainment system for the back seats with two 12.6-inch screens behind the front seats.

The Chevy Tahoe’s strong engine makes it a small package that can do the work of two cars. The Tahoe can pull up to 8,400 pounds, which is almost as much as some full-size pickup trucks. It has room for eight people. To do this, you will need a Tahoe with rear-wheel drive and a 5.3-liter V-8 engine, though. The Tahoe with a 6.2-liter engine can tow 8300 pounds, and the Duramax diesel can tow 8200 pounds. All these figures drop 200 pounds with four-wheel drive.

The mid-range RST and Z71 models are our top picks for the best value. Adventurers prefer the Z71, but the RST is flashier. Unique off-road capabilities, strong design, and normal four-wheel drive make the Z71 appealing. We would also get the new 6.2-liter V-8 engine, which has 65 more horsepower and 77 more pound-feet than the 5.3. Our Z71 would get the Z71 Signature package, which has many wonderful features. Nice features include blind-spot tracking, memory settings, a panoramic sunroof, a power-folding third row, a heated steering wheel, and second-row seats. Towing has also improved.
