BUYER’S GUIDE: 2023 CHEVY TAHOE

The Chevrolet Tahoe is back for 2023 with a host of improvements. As the third model year of the fifth-generation Tahoe, you can expect minor enhancements rather than a real revamp. However, don’t underestimate the impact of these minor changes. Whether you’re a long-time Tahoe fan or considering a new model for your large family, Chevrolet’s 2023 tweaks make the latest Tahoe a great option for your next vehicle. Check out this update by our team at Koons White Marsh Chevrolet in White Marsh, Maryland, to find out what the new Chevrolet Tahoe has to offer.

PERFORMANCE EDITION FOR RST TRIM

If you love vehicles that stand out, the new Performance Edition of the Tahoe’s RST trim is for you. This special edition trim is a real head-turner, with black 20-inch aluminum wheels, a black RST badge on the rear tailgate, and sport pedals as standard. It uses much of the technology seen on Chevrolet’s pursuit-rated police vehicle packages, so you know it’ll outperform the competition. The Performance’s induction and exhaust systems boost the 6.2L V-8 motor’s performance substantially. It generates 433 hp, 13 hp more than the standard RST, and 467 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 7 lb-ft.

It’s not just more powerful than any other Tahoe; it’s also faster. This model can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in under six seconds and has a top speed of 124 miles per hour on the test track. The Brembo front and rear brakes with Torch red calipers are 25% larger to deliver a new stopping distance record of 133 feet from 60 miles per hour. Chevrolet has also tweaked the suspension system to ensure the Performance Edition delivers the smoothest ride possible. The Luxury Package, with enhanced active safety and driver convenience features, also comes standard.

THREE NEW COLORS

Chevrolet has introduced three stylish new color options for the Tahoe in 2023. If you love a little sparkle, consider Silver Sage Metallic or Sterling Gray Metallic. Radiant Red Tintcoat is another excellent option if you prefer a solid paint color. Chevrolet has never released these colors before, so choosing them is a great way to make sure your new Tahoe stands out.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORY BLACK GRILLE

Chevrolet gives motorists who choose the LS, LT, RST, and Premier trims the option of a sophisticated new accessory black grille. It’ll cost you a little more of course, but this gleaming black front makes a premium style statement. The grille also swaps out the traditional bowtie logo for elegant lettering spelling out the Chevrolet name all in capitals. It’s a stylish touch for people who want to leave no doubt that they’re driving a Chevrolet.

OPTIONAL SUPER CRUISE ON SELECTED TRIMS

If you’re ready to jump into the future of hands-free driving, you might consider the Tahoe’s Premier or High Country trims. Chevrolet intends to add General Motors’ innovative Super Cruise driving feature to these high-end models. This handy feature has the power to revolutionize your daily commute and next road trip. While you’ll need to stay alert to operate the system, the technology can accelerate, steer, brake, and change lanes without your input. With the helping hand of technology on your side, you can expect to enjoy drives with less stress and reduced risk of human error.

The mix of cameras, sensors, GPS, and LiDAR mapping technology monitors your position on the road and in relation to other vehicles and road users. Another camera mounted on the steering wheel ensures that you stay alert for ultimate safety. Adaptive Cruise Control helps you maintain your speed while keeping a safe gap between you and other vehicles on the road.

With Super Cruise installed, you can enjoy hands-free driving and trailering across 200,000 miles of system-recognized roads in the United States and Canada. General Motors plans to double its existing driving network, so if you can’t already use this feature where you want to go, you’ll probably be able to soon on undivided roads as well as interstates. The only question is when this feature will be available on the Tahoe. The semiconductor shortage may delay its roll-out, but at the time of writing Chevrolet still intended to offer the Super Cruise feature this model year.

ALL THE FEATURES YOU ALREADY LOVED ABOUT THE TAHOE

Chevrolet has retained many of the features we already loved about the Tahoe. The three powerful engine options remain impressive. To refresh your memory, there’s the 5.3L V-8, the 6.2L V-8 we mentioned earlier, and the Duramax 3.0L I-6 Turbo-Diesel engine. The 10-speed automatic transmission system harnesses the power of whatever engine you choose. You can also select a rear-wheel-drive system or a four-wheel-drive system for extra traction.

Four-wheel drive is the best choice if you plan to take the Tahoe off-road or use it for towing. With a maximum towing capacity of 8,400 lbs, it’s more than capable of hauling a boat or trailer. It’s also got impressive off-road credentials, especially if you choose the Z71 trim that’s designed especially for fun on rugged terrain. This trim level has all the off-road inclusions fans love, including chunky all-terrain tires, a two-speed transfer case, and an adjustable air suspension.

The Tahoe is also a great people mover with plenty of space for a growing family or groups of friends. There’s space for up to eight passengers, but, unlike so many vehicles in this class, people in the second and rear row aren’t squashed in. Chevrolet provides a generous amount of leg, head, and shoulder room, so even adults will feel comfortable in the back. The Tahoe retains a maximum cargo capacity of 122.9 cubic feet. That’s more than enough space for most weekly grocery shops, sporting equipment for weekend matches, and luggage for family vacations.
