It’s an exceptionally reliable full-size SUV that fares well in almost every department. Also, it has a number of impressive attributes that make it stand out from its competitors. Discover the best features of the 2021 Chevy Tahoe.

Solid Engines

Currently, the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe has two engines for you to choose from. The base power plant is a 5.3-liter V-8 that generates 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, which is sufficient for towing up to 8,600 pounds. The range-topping High Country trim is equipped with a 6.2-liter V-8 that serves up 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Later on, an optional 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-six rated at 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque will be added to the lineup.

Both engines work with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is optional on all trims except the off-road-ready Z71, where it’s standard. The smaller V-8 is more than adequate for everyday driving tasks such as commuting, running errands, and cruising on the highway. If you want a more spirited driving experience, you should go for the larger V-8, which offers significantly quicker acceleration.

Composed Handling

Despite its size and weight, the Chevy Tahoe delivers surprisingly adept handling, thanks to its new four-wheel independent suspension system. By making each wheel bear its own load, this suspension allows the crossover to ride smoothly and comfortably over bumps, train tracks, and other uneven surfaces. Additionally, it reduces body lean around turns and along curvy roads. For even better handling, consider getting the available magnetic dampers, which smooth out road imperfections even more effectively.

If you choose the Z71 or High Country, you have the option to equip your Tahoe with an air suspension system, which lets you adjust the ride height up to 4 inches. The suspension will automatically lower the vehicle by three-quarters of an inch when you’re driving on the highway to enhance aerodynamics. On an off-road trail, you can raise the ride height for greater ground clearance.

Cavernous and Well-Equipped Cabin

The 2021 Chevy Tahoe has a maximum seating capacity of nine. Freshly redesigned, this SUV provides much more passenger space than its predecessor. The front and second-row seats are roomy enough to accommodate even tall adults, while the rear seats are now adult-friendly after getting an additional 10 inches of legroom. Additionally, the SUV has one of the largest cargo capacities in its segment, offering up to 122.9 cubic feet of storage space.

Another appealing aspect of the Tahoe is its excellent list of tech features. It comes standard with an intuitive 10.2-inch infotainment system, six-speaker audio system, Wi-Fi hot spot, USB ports, Bluetooth, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, HD radio, and satellite radio. There are also available features such as a nine- or 10-speaker premium sound system, a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system, wireless device charging, and navigation.
