Meet the two latest iconic vehicle of Chevrolet: the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. Each has been redesigned to be the ultimate SUV—offering the most interior space of any SUV, exclusive technologies and features, and the best driving dynamics in the full-size segment.

SUPERB ALL-NEW CHASSIS

The changes for the all-new Tahoe and Suburban began with a new architecture featuring an independent rear suspension and longer wheelbase. The new architecture targeted improvements central to the needs of full-size SUV customers, including passenger accommodations,cargo capacity, driving dynamics and exterior proportions. The longer wheelbase and new chassis systems create greater ride smoothness, particularly on uneven pavement and unpaved surfaces, with improved handling.

Interior-wise, the all-new Tahoe and Suburban’s interiors have larger displays, more connectivity options and a new rear-seat media system designed to keep even the most tech-savvy family members satisfied throughout their road trips.

For the first time, the Tahoe and Suburban’s second-row seat can slide, adjusting approximately 10-inches (254 mm) forward or rearward. Both the second-and third-row seats also fold more easily, and the load floor is now both flatter and lower than prior models-improving the ease of loading and unloading. The rear-door openings for the Tahoe are also larger, thanks to the increase in wheelbase.

POWERFUL ENGINE

Engine-wise, the 2021 Tahoe and Suburban are powered by V8 engines that are among the most advanced in Chevrolet’s history, as well as an all-new Duramax turbo-diesel engine. All are matched with a new 10-speed automatic transmission with electronic shift control.

A 5.3-liter V8 rated at 355 horsepower is standard on LS, LT, Z71, RST and Premier models; and a 6.2-liter V8 rated at 420 horsepower is standard on High Country. Both feature industry-first Dynamic Fuel Management technology, with more than 12 modes of cylinder deactivation that are designed to optimize engine efficiency across a broad range of driving conditions, including when towing a trailer.

The optional Duramax 3.0-liter inline-six turbo-diesel is available on all models except Z71. It is a clean-sheet engine design developed for full-size truck and SUV applications, where torque means everything for confident, on-demand power and trailering capability. The Duramax is rated at 277 horsepower and a strong 460 lb-ft (623 Nm) of torque. The American car brand said that “No full-size SUV” competitor offers a diesel engine. It is expected to give the new SUVs some of the highest fuel economy ratings in the segment.

EXPANDED RANGE OF SAFETY

Chevrolet is expanding key safety and driver awareness features for the all-new Tahoe and Suburban, with Automatic Emergency Braking standard on all models. Available technologies include new HD Surround Vision, new Rear Pedestrian Alert, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert with enhancements for trailering, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front and Rear Park Assist and Head-Up Display.
