2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

A big, family-friendly interior, a capable engine lineup of engines, and modern technology make the Chevy Tahoe the most popular SUV in its class.

Cons

<ul>
<li>V8s are inefficient</li>
<li>Rivals can tow more</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Chevy Tahoe is powered by a 355-horsepower V8 engine matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (RWD) or 4-wheel drive (4WD). This aging engine isn’t as powerful as the turbo 6-cylinder engines in its Ford and Jeep rivals, but it still has plenty of thrust, and it’s adequate for daily family-hauling duties.
Drivers seeking more muscle for towing regularly or just because they want more oomph will be interested in the bigger 6.2-liter V8 producing 420 hp or the Duramax turbodiesel 6-cylinder pumping out 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque. We know most of you will go for a V8, but we’re partial to the diesel, which has both the highest torque rating and best fuel economy in the Tahoe’s engine lineup. Chevy and GMC are the only brands that offer a diesel in this class.
One of the reasons families love the Chevy Tahoe is its ride quality on long highway trips. The long wheelbase and compliant suspension (especially with the optional Magnetic Ride Control system) create a truly premium feel for the driver and passengers alike. The available <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/gms-super-cruise-now-covers-750000-miles-of-roads/">Super Cruise</a> hands-free highway driving system makes the Tahoe an even better road tripper.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The standard V8 in the Tahoe returns 15 city/20 highway/17 combined mpg. The bigger 6.2-liter V8 is equally efficient, but requires premium gas, yielding much higher fuel cost estimates. Meanwhile, the only diesel in this class gives the Tahoe up to 22 city/26 highway/24 combined mpg. That’s a better fuel economy rating than the hybrid Toyota Sequoia.
The turbocharged 6-cylinder engines in the Ford Expedition, Jeep Wagoneer, and Nissan Armada are all more efficient than the V8s in the Tahoe. The Ford and Jeep don’t require premium fuel, but the Nissan does.

Large Exterior

Exterior

At 17.5 feet long, the Tahoe full-size SUV takes up the same kind of space as the Ford Expedition. It’s big. But we think big is beautiful in this instance. The Tahoe got a midcycle refresh last year that included a revised front end and available 24-inch wheels. It helped keep this SUV looking fresh and modern.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
We always appreciate the ability to integrate a phone into a vehicle’s infotainment system. Especially when it’s wireless, we don’t have to dig that phone out of a pocket or purse.
Infotainment touchscreen 
A high-resolution 17.7-inch display comes standard in every new Tahoe. That’s big and really lends a more tech-rich feel to the cabin. We’re also fans of the easy-to-use infotainment system.
Hands-free tailgate 
It is one of those convenience features that gets used a lot. It’s standard in all Tahoe models except for the base LS.
Super Cruise 
With this optional superpower, you can drive on about 750,000 miles of North American highway with your hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals (but eyes on the road).
Trailering technology 
Features like Boat Ramp Assist and Trailer Navigation — which works out the ideal route while taking the trailer’s size into account — make towing much more manageable.
Z71 trim 
The rugged Tahoe Z71 is as capable as its macho aesthetic suggests. A few off-road upgrades include standard 4-wheel drive, extra ground clearance, hill descent control, all-terrain tires, and an appearance package with a favorable approach angle and a skid plate.
