Base Utility
At the head of the class in features, technology and refinement.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
The Chevrolet Tahoe is a comfortable, roomy machine that gets surprisingly good gas mileage. It offers more power and more seating capacity than its predecessor and adds safety features such as side-impact air bags. These changes don't just make the new Tahoe better than the old one, they make it better than the other full-size SUVs available.
