2023 CHEVROLET TAHOE: WHAT’S NEW?

Meet the 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe. Finally, you can have a full-size SUV with refined character inside and out, impressive power, and the latest in-vehicle tech. Furthermore, you don’t have to pay luxury brand prices for the premium quality Tahoe delivers. Some buyers find it challenging to sort through Tahoe’s various trim levels and options. So, we had our SUV experts at Koons White Marsh Chevrolet break down the Tahoe’s features and highlight improvements from the previous model.

2023 CHEVROLET TAHOE EXTERIOR STYLE

We saw no significant changes to the Tahoe’s exterior for the 2023 models, but a few minor tweaks include a new grille with the brand name spelled in black capital letters, replacing the old bow tie emblem. Daytime running lights frame the new grille, and LED headlights are high and wide, tucked just beneath the outstretched carved hood to provide a bold front fascia as they light the way.

Along the sides, soft curves flare around the wheels, which run up to 22 inches in various colors and styles, depending on your Tahoe trim. The Tahoe Z71 off-road model features aggressive tires, while other trims use the traditional all-season varieties. A sharp crease stretches front to rear beneath the windows, and a new C-pillar that tilts forward creates an athletic profile that contrasts with the boxy appearance of most full-size SUVs.

Chevy offers three new exterior colors: Sterling Gray Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Silver Sage Metallic. Returning options include Auburn Metallic, Black, Dark Ash Metallic, Empire Beige Metallic, Iridescent Pearl Tricoat, Midnight Blue Metallic, and Summit White.

2023 CHEVROLET TAHOE INTERIOR COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE

Chevy makes GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system available on the Premier and High Country trims. Beyond this and some minor adjustments to the dash layout and controls, much of the 2023 Tahoe interior remains the same. The Tahoe can seat up to nine in its expansive interior across three rows of seats. The base Tahoe LS model comes standard with a front bench, but we don’t think you’ll find many built this way. Instead, you’ll likely find front bucket seats separated by a large center console with hidden storage.

You can choose between a second-row bench seat or captain’s chairs and another center console. The third row has 35 inches of legroom to seat three adult passengers. If you choose the bench seat option in the first two rows, you can fit nine people. However, we recommend the two/two/three seating configuration for maximum comfort. The lower trims come standard with premium cloth upholstery, and you can upgrade to leather on all except the base LS.

The Premium, High Country, and Z71 models feature interior styling, including trim-exclusive leather appointments, natural wood and metal appliques, and signature badging. Heated and ventilated front and second-row seats also come with these higher trim levels.

Tahoe owners enjoy impressive cargo capacity thanks to a configurable interior. The independent rear suspension allows for a low flat floor. As a result, you have 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. Folding down the third row expands that area to 72.6 cubic feet, and folding down both the second and third opens up a cavernous 122.9 cubic feet capacity.

2023 CHEVROLET TAHOE PERFORMANCE

We see the same three engines carry over from the 2022 model. Tahoe’s base engine, a 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V-8 with dynamic fuel management technology, comes standard on the LS, LT, RST, Z71, and Premier models. Chevy pairs this engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission. As a result, this powertrain produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, and it tows up to 8,400 pounds when properly equipped. In addition, the EPA-estimated 20 mpg highway rating delivers economical performance.

A 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V-8 engine paired with the same 10-speed automatic comes standard on the High Country and is optional on the RST, Z71, and Premier trims. This powertrain produces an impressive 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, and it can tow 8,300 pounds. Even with the additional power output, this engine still delivers 20 mpg driving on the highway.

The third option, a Duramax 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, provides the perfect balance of power and economy. You can choose this engine on the LS, LT, RST, Premier, and High Country models to enjoy 277 horsepower, 460 lb-ft of torque, and an 8,200-pound tow rating. Plus, you’ll get 28 mpg on highway driving.

Tahoe Z71 models feature an adaptive suspension system as standard, which enables you to raise the height of your Tahoe to clear off-road obstacles and lower it to improve aerodynamics. Upper trims also come with a magnetic ride control system that uses magnetized liquid in the Tahoe’s dampers to smooth out imperfections in the road.

2023 CHEVROLET TAHOE IN-VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY

An 8-inch touch screen comes standard in the LS model. However, the higher trims offer a 10.2-inch version. In addition, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Google Built-In, and Bluetooth technology are pre-installed on every Tahoe to enable hands-free calls, text replies, music streaming, and more, all with simple, intuitive voice commands.

You can opt for the rear seat theater system with two 12.6-inch LCD touch-screen displays with Wi-Fi connectivity. Your rear passengers can stream movies, play games, and more. The screens can stream content together or separately, allowing individual entertainment.

CHEVY SAFETY ASSIST

Every Tahoe model comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist — a suite of driver-assist technologies to make your drive safer. The suite includes forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, a following distance indicator, and IntelliBeam auto high-beam assist. Optional driver-assist systems include adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane change alert with side blind zone alert.
