In December of the nineteenth year, as part of a special event at the Little Seasars Arena in Detroit, the premiere of the new generation Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban frame SUVs took place. Both models turned out to be largely unified with the Chevrolet Silverado 4 pickup. With the latter, they are related not only by a similar technique, but also by a similar design of the exterior.

Outside, the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe attracts attention with an updated front end design that has become more brutal.

From now on, the SUV has compact LED headlights located on the upper level.

The new body of the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe received a different radiator grille with large chrome fins and a redesigned front bumper, where the side sections are vertical air intakes. In turn, new lights and a decorative chrome strip on the fifth door appeared at the stern, under which the model name is displayed in large letters.

Note that in terms of exterior design, both presented SUVs are almost identical, and the Tahoe can be distinguished from the Suburban only by the length of the body (the latter is noticeably longer in size). As for the wheels, depending on the configuration, the cars rely on rims of 18, 20 or 22 inches.

With the change of generations, the interior of the new Chevrolet Tahoe 2021 has become noticeably stricter and more modern, while GM decided to keep the classic analog instrument panel.

The infotainment system now features a 10.0-inch tablet towering over the center console. Plus, it received support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay interfaces. For an extra charge, the SUV can be equipped with an 8.0-inch screen in the instrument cluster, as well as a 15-inch head-up display. Another option is the 12.6-inch screens for the second-row entertainment system.

Interestingly, the Americans nevertheless abandoned the traditional steering column “poker” automatic transmission, placing a button panel to the left of the multimedia display to control the box. It even has “+” and “-” keys for manual gear shifting.

The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe has moved to the GM T1 platform, which the Americans plan to use on the new generation Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon models. The SUV received a stronger frame and a fully independent rear suspension instead of the old rifled axle.

At the base of the car, springs and passive shock absorbers are put, and for an additional charge – the Magnetic Ride Control suspension, with the ability to adjust the stiffness of the shock absorbers, and for the first time, air suspension became available for an additional charge. With the latter, you can adjust the ground clearance in the range of 102 mm, while while driving on the highway, the electronics automatically lower the ground clearance by 19 mm to improve aerodynamics and reduce fuel consumption.

The length of the “American” now reaches 5 351 mm (+ 169), while its wheelbase was stretched to 3 071 mm (+ 125). But the width and height of the model have practically not changed and are equal to 2,058 and 1,927 mm, respectively.

Note that the increase was evenly distributed between the third row of seats and the trunk. Thanks to this approach, the gallery became noticeably more spacious (the increase in free space in the legs was 40%). The second row here for the first time received a longitudinal adjustment in the range of 254 mm. You can move forward / backward as a basic three-seater sofa, and separate chairs offered for an additional charge.

It is reported that the volume of the cargo compartment on the Tahoe has increased from 433 to 733 liters (according to the American SAE method). If the seats of the third and second rows are folded into the floor, the hold capacity will amount to an impressive 3,479 liters (+ 30%).

There are three engines to choose from, among which are the well-known gasoline aspirated V8s from the last generation. They have been slightly modernized and have direct fuel injection, as well as a system for shutting off part of the cylinders at low loads.

The initial version relies on a 5.3-liter engine with 360 hp. (519 Nm), while the top version of the High Country is equipped with a 6.2-liter engine with 426 forces (623 Nm). Plus, a turbodiesel from the Silverado pickup truck has now become available for cars. We are talking about a 3.0-liter Duramax V6 with 281 “horses” and 623 Nm of torque.

Regardless of the engine chosen, all versions of the SUV are equipped with a nine-speed automatic, developed jointly with Ford. Basic versions are rear-wheel drive, with an all-wheel drive transmission with front-axle clutch and crawler gear offered as an option.
