The maximum capacity grows to 122.9 cubic feet. How’s the storage? Thanks to the independent rear suspension and larger overall dimensions, the new Tahoe can hold 25.5 cubic feet of stuff behind the third-row seats compared to the predecessor's 15.3 cubic feet. It's quite capable in moderate off-roading situations.

When equipped with the optional Z71 package, the Tahoe benefits from its height-adjustable air suspension and good approach and departure angles. But the Tahoe's light steering is vague, especially at higher speeds, and the Tahoe makes it clear that you're driving a large SUV and should probably take it easy around corners. The 10-speed automatic transmission shifts promptly and unobtrusively. Navigating city streets with the Tahoe is easy thanks to its tight turning circle and light steering. The somewhat soft brake pedal is our only complaint with the otherwise smooth and capable braking system. But for higher-speed passing maneuvers, you'll need a lot of throttle and some patience since the Tahoe's smaller V8 engine simply runs out of steam once you're past 65 mph or so. We tested a 4WD Tahoe with the 5.3-liter V8 engine and recorded a 0-60 mph sprint of 7.7 seconds, which is an average time for a large SUV. How does the Tahoe drive? Considering its size, the Tahoe does all right for itself under acceleration and braking. So make sure to check out our Tahoe's long-term test page here. Along the way, we're providing regular updates on what the Tahoe is like to live with and what we think about its utility, tech, comfort and more. We plan to drive it for 12 months and 20,000 miles. What's it like to live with?Įdmunds bought a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 for long-term testing.

If you aren't sure if the large and capable Tahoe is right for you, check out our test team's full evaluation in the Edmunds Expert Rating below. The Tahoe is very competitive but lacks comfortable seats and has some cheap-looking interior materials. It competes against other large truck-based SUVs such as the Ford Expedition, the redesigned Toyota Sequoia and the new kid on the block, the Jeep Wagoneer. The Tahoe is Chevrolet's second-largest SUV behind the longer Suburban. The top-spec High Country trim now comes with adaptive cruise control as standard equipment. Most notable is the addition of the aforementioned Super Cruise system, which is available on the top two trim levels, the Premier and High Country. Chevrolet made several updates to the 2023 Tahoe.
