Both the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban have long been very sought-after here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse! We are always eager to report on changes that customers can look for in incoming models, and the Motor1.com auto reporting team provided a few spy images on their website this past week of the Tahoe caught roaming the wild. The front and rear were covered in camouflage, but it appears to get a new dual-light configuration with separate headlights and daytime running lights.
It's a bit tougher to see the changes on the grille, but the bold center strips of chrome seem to have disappeared. From the front view, enough details can be made out to see that it’s the High-Country edition, which provides a little luxury to rival competition such as the Escalade and Navigator. You’ll be spoiled with the 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V8, 22-inch wheels, unique grille with bronze accents, surround-view parking camera system, and head-up display.
We have not heard any solid details about interior or powertrain changes for the incoming model. If the updated Tahoe sees its official debut by the 4th quarter of this year, it will likely be released as a 2024 model. Stepping things up even further to the High Country Deluxe provides extra features like the Max Trailering Package, panoramic sunroof, adaptive air suspension, and power-retractable side steps. The Max Trailering Package should equip you for any tough haul with an enhanced cooling radiator, two-speed transfer case, trailer hitch camera, and integrated brake controller.
This year’s model also provided the added benefit of Super Cruise on Premier and High Country trims, as well as adaptive cruise control now as standard on the High Country trim. Drivers love vehicles like this so much because they are great at hauling a large family around, easily towing toys to the lake, or fulfilling the role of an ultimate off-road vehicle. The magnetically controlled shock absorbers have been a game-changing addition for improving ride handling and capability as well.
The major competition against the Tahoe is the Ford Expedition, the Toyota Sequoia, and Jeep Wagoneer. The Edmunds.com auto testing team had excellent things to say after spending 12 months and 20,000 miles with the 2022 model: their favorite feature that puts the Tahoe ahead of the competition was that the towing rating beat out the Honda Pilot’s. The V8 under the hood provided a “welcoming and rumbly attitude” and was there on the spot to move with a fair amount of authority.
Regarding the transmission, another member of the review staff claimed that “there aren’t enough Os in smooth for this.” No shifts were rough or clunky in the least, with a few of the senior editors spending six hour shifts in the saddle and enjoying every minute. With all the seats folded, the cargo space is massive, and this has made the Tahoe a huge hit with growing families and businesses nationwide!
