Overview
The 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe is a versatile large SUV, offering impressive passenger accommodations, towing capabilities, and a range of engine options. With its minivan-like interior space and pickup-rivaling towing capacity, the Tahoe earned an Editors’ Choice award. Its diverse trim levels cater to various needs, from off-road enthusiasts to luxury seekers.
Price
The 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at $53,695 and rises to $74,295 depending on trim and options. We recommend the mid-level RST or Z71 models, offering the best value. The Z71’s standard four-wheel drive, rugged appearance, and off-road equipment make it an attractive choice.
Engine
The Tahoe offers three engine options: a 355-hp 5.3-liter V-8, a 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8, and a diesel 3.0-liter six-cylinder with 460 pound-feet of torque. Each engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear- or all-wheel drive. The diesel engine provides impressive torque, while the available V-8s deliver ample power.
Dimensions
The latest Tahoe boasts its largest interior yet, with expanded legroom in the third row (up 10 inches) and flexible second-row seating. The cargo area, with seats folded, offers 123 cubic feet of space. Adults can comfortably occupy the third row, and six carry-on suitcases fit behind it.
Performance
We tested the off-road-oriented Z71 model with the standard V-8, which delivered adequate acceleration and a firm brake pedal. The Z71 package includes air springs, adaptive dampers, and underbody protection. The Tahoe’s independent rear suspension provides a smooth ride and impressive quietness at highway speeds.
Fuel Economy
The diesel engine offers the best fuel efficiency, with ratings of 21 mpg city and 28 highway. The standard 5.3-liter V-8 and optional 6.2-liter V-8 estimate 20 mpg highway. Its diesel-powered Tahoe test yielded 27 mpg on the highway.
The 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe excels as a versatile large SUV, offering impressive space, towing capacity, and engine options. Its diverse trim levels cater to various needs, and its quiet cabin and smooth ride make it a comfortable cruiser. While not as luxurious as premium alternatives, the Tahoe’s value lies in its practicality and capabilities. With its range of options, the Tahoe remains a top choice in the large SUV segment.
