2023 Chevrolet Tahoe Overview

Do you need a spacious SUV to transport your family for a weekend trip out of town or the daily commute? The 2023 Chevy Tahoe offers room for up to nine people across three rows and plenty of cargo space at the rear for your things. Built on the same frame as Chevy’s popular Silverado pickup, the Tahoe offers a range of engine choices that can shift this big SUV around without any trouble.

Our Chevy experts here at Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC have put together an overview of the 2023 Tahoe’s key features to help you decide if it’s the right vehicle for you.

2023 Tahoe Engine and Performance Specs

2023 Chevrolet Tahoe

All three engine options in the 2023 Tahoe provide you with plenty of power for your daily driving needs. The base option is a 5.3-liter V-8 that puts out 355 horsepower. It’s one of the popular V-8s that provides enough brawn for Silverado pickup drivers.

The two optional offerings are a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 and a six-cylinder turbodiesel that cranks out 277 horsepower. Don’t let the turbodiesel’s lower horsepower rating fool you. It generates torque rapidly after you hit the accelerator, making a swift shift from zero to 60 mph.

The turbodiesel engine is your best option if you prioritize strong fuel economy. The Tahoe gets 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway with the six-cylinder unit. Both V-8 options are good for 20 mpg on the highway.

If towing heavy loads is something you do regularly, the Tahoe is well-equipped to help. Its maximum towing capacity of 8,400 pounds is enough to pull a large camper, trailer, or boat out of town for the weekend. You get maximum towing capacity by opting for the smaller V-8 engine, rear-wheel drive, and Chevy’s Max Trailering package. The Tahoe’s other two engine options are still more than adequate for towing but have towing limits that are a couple of hundred pounds lower than the 5.3-liter V-8 model.

Chevy Tahoe Passenger and Cargo Space

You can configure the Tahoe’s passenger capacity to suit your family’s requirements. The standard setup provides room for eight people, with bench seats in the second and third rows. Even the third row has enough legroom to accommodate tall passengers.

If you want to provide extra comfort for people riding in the second row, you can replace the bench seat with captain’s chairs, reducing your overall capacity to seven. Alternatively, you can add a bench seat in the front row to boost your passenger capacity to nine. Keep in mind that the middle seat in the front row in this setup has minimal legroom.

The Tahoe’s cabin remains incredibly spacious even with a full quota of passengers. Behind the third row, you’ll find about 25 cubic feet of storage space. There should be plenty of room to pack your family’s luggage for a weekend trip away or transport a large load of groceries back home. If you fold down the third-row seating, you’ll have over 72 cubic feet of space, which should be enough to fit bulky household items. With both rear rows of seating folded flat, the Tahoe’s cargo capacity reaches over 122 cubic feet.

Tahoe Infotainment and Safety Features

The entertainment system in the Tahoe is called Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus. It features a 10.2-inch screen and a six-speaker stereo. Unlike many competitors, the Tahoe has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to link your phone to the infotainment system without using a USB port. Other connectivity options include BlueTooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and eight USB ports.

You can upgrade to a premium stereo with either nine or 10 speakers, a navigation system, and wireless device charging. Another highlight of the Tahoe is the optional rear-seat infotainment system, which gives second-row passengers their own entertainment screens.

While your passengers are entertained by the Tahoe’s wide range of infotainment features, its long list of safety tech can help keep you safe and secure. Standard features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. Lane Departure warnings and lane keep assistance are useful aids when traveling on the highway. At the same time, the front and rear parking sensors make it much easier to maneuver this big SUV into a tight spot.

The Tahoe’s rear-seat reminder warns you to check in the back row seating for kids or pets before you leave the car. If you have older children who are learning to drive, the Teen Driver feature allows you to put restrictions on how your Tahoe is used by other drivers. For example, you can impose a speed limit so they don’t drive too fast.

2023 Tahoe Trims

You can choose from six trims if you’re buying a Tahoe: LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country. Several factors come into play when arriving at your decision, including cabin comfort and off-roading ability.

The base LS trim has upscale features, such as power-adjustable front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and automatic climate control. Stepping up to the LT gets you leather upholstery, heated front seats, and memory settings for the driver’s seat. The RST has similar features to the LT, but this trim stands out thanks to its unique dark interior and exterior styling elements.

Off-roading fans should go for the Z71, which comes standard with four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, all-terrain tires, a skid plate, and hill descent control. You can add an air suspension system to boost the Tahoe’s ground clearance from 8 to 10 inches. Finally, the Premier and High Country trims offer all the luxury features you can imagine, including a surround-sound audio system. The High Country model includes a 15-inch head-up display.

As you can see, the 2023 Tahoe offers a diverse lineup to meet your needs. Whether you want to take your family on an off-roading adventure or have a spacious vehicle for your daily commute, you can configure the Tahoe to meet your needs.
