Overview
The 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe is a masterclass in size and agility, offering ample space for passengers and cargo while defying its large SUV classification with surprisingly nimble handling. Three engine options, including a diesel inline-six, cater to diverse needs, from towing to off-road adventures. With its standard three-row seating and extensive feature list, the Tahoe is an attractive choice.
Price
The 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at $56,095 and reaches $76,795 depending on trim and options. We recommend the mid-level RST and Z71 models, offering the best value. The Z71’s standard four-wheel drive, rugged appearance, and off-road equipment make it ideal for adventurers.
Engine
The Tahoe’s engine options include a 355-hp 5.3-liter V-8, a 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8, and a 3.0-liter diesel 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 V-8s deliver ample power.
Dimensions
The Tahoe boasts a spacious interior, with standard three-row seating and flexible second-row seats. 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 mpg 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 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe excels as a large SUV, balancing size and agility. Its diverse engine options, spacious interior, and impressive towing capacity make it an attractive choice. While premium trim levels approach luxury prices, 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.
