VEHICLE: TAHOE | MANUFACTURED^†: ARLINGTON, TEXAS | AVAILABLE: NOW

For years, families all across the country have enjoyed the capable performance and utility of Chevy SUVs. To further build on that impressive reputation, the All-New 2021 Tahoe was reengineered from the ground up. Here’s a look at just a few of the many new components that help make the latest Tahoe even greater.

Under the Surface

Beneath its strikingly designed sheet metal, the All-New 2021 Tahoe has key engineering improvements designed to build on Tahoe’s tough utility and all-day road-trip comfort.

OPTIMIZED SUSPENSION

A four-link, fully independent rear suspension helps improve ride and handling, while also lowering Tahoe’s cargo floor by more than 5 inches from the previous model for easier loading of cargo.

Sliding Seats
