Thanks: JEEP Rolf Moskova 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe Starting at $ Highs: Realistic third-row space, quiet interior, knows how to handle its heft. Lows: Awkward cabin controls, top trim's equipment doesn't match its luxury pricing, V-8 powertrains aren't fuel efficient. Verdict: The full-size Tahoe has enough capability and capacity to suit nearly any task. Overview There's a lot to love about the full-size Chevrolet Tahoe. It's a big SUV, seating up to eight. Like its longer Suburban sibling, the Tahoe comes with three powertrain offerings, all of which pair to either rear- or four-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a smooth 355-hp V-8, and a larger 420-hp V-8 stands above that. For the fuel-economy crowd, the turbocharged Duramax diesel offers more thrift than the two gas V-8s. All Tahoes include three rows of seats and meaningful options such as meaty all-terrain tires and adjustable air suspension sweeten this big Chevy's mobility. The Tahoe's combination of practicality and capability has landed it on our Editors' Choice list again this year. For buyers who want a slightly different presentation of the best Tahoe equipment, the GMC Yukon piles on the options in a slightly fancier wrapper. What's New for 2024? Chevy continues to offer the full-size Tahoe without any significant changes for 2024. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at $ and goes up to $ depending on the trim and options. LS: $58,195 LT: $63,695 RST: $66,295 Z71: $68,295 Premier: $71,595 High Country: $78,895 We think the mid-level RST and Z71 models hold the best value, with the former being flashier and the latter being geared toward adventurous folk. We prefer the Z71's standard four-wheel drive, rugged appearance, and exclusive off-road equipment. We'd also upgrade from the standard V-8 to the newly available V-8, which brings an extra 65 horsepower and 77 pound-feet of torque. Our Z71 would also be equipped with the Z71 Signature package, which includes a whole host of desirable features. The highlights include blind-spot monitoring, a heated steering wheel and second-row seats, memory settings, a panoramic sunroof, a power-folding third row, and upgraded towing equipment. Engine, Transmission, and Performance The Tahoe has been powered by a V-8 for its entire life, which continues for this latest generation. However, its standard 355-hp and available 420-hp blocks are joined by a diesel six-cylinder engine. While the oil-burner has the least horsepower of the three, its 460 pound-feet of torque matches that of the bigger V-8. Every Tahoe is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive. We tested the off-road-oriented Z71 model with the standard V-8, which also has a two-speed transfer case that provides traditional four-wheel drive, 20-inch wheels wrapped with all-terrain tires, and underbody protection. Our example had adequate acceleration, a firm brake pedal, and an impressively quiet cabin at highway speeds. The Z71 package also brings air springs (that allow the Tahoe's ride height to be automatically and manually lowered or raised) and adaptive dampers, which are standard on the upper-echelon Premier and High Country. The latter and the RST model both ride on glitzy 22-inch rims for added curb appeal. Read More
