basic warrantyThe 2019 Tahoe is a powerful package from Chevrolet along with superior utility. The SUV has tremendous off-roading and towing capabilities. It comes equipped with a 5.3L naturally aspirated V8 motor which offers decent power figures. But the 6.2L V8 motor which is offered with the Premier trim has much better power figures.
The Tahoe offers many amenities even with the base trim, but the ‘LT’ offers even more luxurious features like heated front seats with memory function, Bose audio system, and some advanced safety features. That’s why we recommend you go for its ‘LT’ trim option which looks like a value-for-money package. The ‘Premier’ no doubt has even better features but seems quite overpriced.
This comes in a total of 3 trim options ranging from $49,000 and goes all the way up to $64,000. The 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe has a ton of innovative features. These include a top-notch infotainment system, good fuel economy, a ton of cargo space, and more! The Chevrolet Tahoe rivals the Nissan Armada, Ford Expedition, and Toyota Sequoia.
The 2019 Tahoe is offered in three trim levels namely ‘LS’, ‘LT’, and ‘Premier’, ranging from $49,000 to $64,000. The whole line-up comes in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options and is loaded with a plethora of features from the base trim itself. Features like projector headlamps with DRLs, Rear Park Assist, remote vehicle start, tri-zone automatic AC, and rear cross-traffic alert are some of the features offered with the base trim.

Which trim should you buy?
The Tahoe offers many amenities even with the base trim, but the ‘LT’ offers even more luxurious features like heated front seats with memory function, Bose audio system, and some advanced safety features. That’s why we recommend you go for its ‘LT’ trim option which looks like a value-for-money package. The ‘Premier’ no doubt has even better features but seems quite overpriced.
In the 2019 Chevy Tahoe, you would find a 5.3-liter naturally aspirated V8 motor which powers the whole line-up. It produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft. of torque. This engine is mated with a 6-speed automatic gearbox and channels power either to the rear wheels or all the wheels depending upon the drivetrain.
For the ‘Premier’ trim, you have an option for a 6.2-liter V8 motor, which surely has even better power figures and has tremendous capability. The 6.2L V8 comes mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Despite being the bulkier structure, it manages to make a 0-60 mph sprint in just 6.7 seconds and covers a quarter-mile distance in 15.2 seconds. These numbers are for the 5.3L V8 Motor, however, the 6.2L V8 motor offers even better performance.

All the aforementioned SUVs have truly a strong powertrain, but Tahoe has the least power figures in the competition. The Expedition on the other side has the smallest engine but got fitted with a twin-turbocharger. This results in impressive power figures and is also the quickest in the segment. The Tahoe manages its 0-60 mph sprint quite well, and the Sequoia takes much longer to do the same.
The Tahoe's ride and handling characteristics are second-to-none. Chevy is offering a new Trail Rated badge, which is designed to appeal to the outdoorsy types who will be able to take their Tahoes on more trails than ever before. Being a full-sized SUV, the 2019 Tahoe suffers quite a bit in sharp curves, but still, it manages its body roll quite well.
The SUV doesn’t feel that bulky while driving and has decent agility which makes driving easier. The suspensions are tuned to provide a softer ride and the steering response is quite impressive. Being the rear-wheel-drive vehicle, it truly gives a fun-to-drive experience and the AWD is better for off-roading and towing capabilities.
The 2019 Tahoe along with the powerful engine has an impressive braking performance as well. Despite being bulky, it manages to decelerate from 60-0 mph in just 121 ft. Disc brakes are provided at both front and the rear which are of 13.0-inches and 13.6-inches respectively, which are best to handle this massive structure.

The Tahoe has decent-sized brake rotors which were doing their duty very well. Weighing over 5300 lbs, it has quite a good stopping distance. The Sequoia has the largest front rotors which handle that bulky SUV well. The Tahoe and Ford Explorer stop from 60 mph first, while the Sequoia needs about 10 feet more than the Tahoe to stop.
The new Chevy Tahoe offers decent fuel economy in the segment. Its V8 motor is well refined and it delivers 15 mpg in the city and 22mpg on the highways, and the combined economy came out to be 18 mpg. The SUV comes with a 26-gallon fuel tank which manages your driving range quite well. The more powerful 6.2L V8 motor surprisingly has better fuel economy than expected.

The Tahoe delivers quite a good economy as compared to rivals, however, the Expedition has the best economy in the segment thanks to its twin turbocharger. The Sequoia’s engine is really the thirstiest one of all. The Tahoe has a voluminous tank in the segment which helps in lasting its range over 390 miles in the city and 570 miles on the highways.
Chevrolet offers a premium cabin with the new Tahoe. The cabin has a very rugged feel with premium leather upholstery everywhere. Starting with the dash, it is nicely covered in chocolate brown soft-touch material on the top and some leather elements as well with fine stitching in it. There are quite a few physical buttons and knobs at the center console which don't look very attractive, but they were quite practical to use. The doors also got leatherette treatment with superior fit and finish on it and feel rugged to operate.
Coming to the seats, these are also wrapped in brown leather upholstery and have superior cushions. The vehicle comes in 7 and 8 seater options. The base trim comes with a 10-way power adjustable driver seat while the passenger gets 6-way power adjustments. Climbing onto the higher trims, you will get 12-way power adjustments along with the heating and ventilation function as well. The cabin feels very roomy and has a sufficient amount of head and leg space in all the rows. You will also get a cargo volume of 15.3 cu-ft. with all the seats up. Folding the third-row seats, the cargo space increases to 51.7 cu-ft. That is sufficient space to carry a few large-sized bags also.

Except for the Expedition, every SUV in the competition offers seating for 8 passengers. The Tahoe has a much roomier cabin than others in the front row, while in the second row Sequoia has better space than others. In the third row, all have a decent amount of space where 2 youngsters can easily be seated. Coming to their boot space, the Expedition has maximum space even with the roomier cabin, while that of the Tahoe lags behind in terms of cargo-carrying capacity. Some of the remarkable features of its interior are:
The infotainment unit offered in the 2019 Tahoe is almost the same in every trim with just one or two add-on features in its higher trim. The infotainment unit consists of an 8-inch color touchscreen display which is paired with a 6-speaker audio system in the base trim, while the higher trim gets a 10-speaker Bose audio system. The display is not really an intuitive one but has decent graphics and touch response. Features like Bluetooth connectivity, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hot spot, AM/FM, USB, and AUX ports, and many more are offered as standard. But some of the really attractive features of its infotainment are:
The 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe is no doubt a massive-looking machine with a boxy design and edgy corners. It has minimal cuts and creases and looks very elegant from the outside. Starting up front, it has a massive projector headlamp that merges with the black honeycomb grille and is highlighted with the chrome element. The Chevy logo at the center is offered in black color for the Premier trim, while the lower trims get the golden colored one. The looks from the front are basic yet look bold and muscular.
Coming to its side profile, the SUV looks really tall but does not have an attractive element to talk about. The Chevy focuses more on utility rather than aesthetics. The ‘LS’ and ‘LT’ get the 18-inch aluminum alloys in the silver finish while the ‘Premier’ gets 20-inch black alloys which truly enhances its side profile. And the same goes for the rear also, it has elegant-looking LED tail lamps and a deep-tinted rear windshield.

The Armada is the bulkiest in the segment but still manages its mpg levels quite well. The Tahoe is not too long in the competition, but still offers a roomier cabin than others. But the lower ground clearance of the Chevy Tahoe doesn’t give that off-roading confidence to buyers that others give. Some of the standout features of its exterior are:
The 2019 Chevy Tahoe is built on the GMT K2XX platform which is also being shared with Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Suburban, and the GMC Yukon. The 2019 Tahoe has been tested by NHTSA for its crashworthiness and the results are quite impressive. It scores four out of five stars in its overall safety rating, which shows its robust construction. Unfortunately, it has not been tested by the IIHS. The SUV offers a wide range of active and passive safety features, but some of the remarkable features include:
The Nissan Armada has a slightly bigger engine on offer which produces somewhat more power than the Tahoe and completes a quarter mile a few milliseconds earlier than the Tahoe. The braking performance of both cars is great but due to the bulkier body, Armada takes quite a long to stop from 60-0 mph. The Tahoe has better fuel economy than the Armada and also a bigger tank, which helps in its long-range.
The Ford Expedition is a bit quicker than the Tahoe to complete a quarter-mile or 0-60 mph sprint. The reason might be its turbocharged motor which has little more power than the Tahoe. This engine really helps Expedition in enhancing its fuel economy and it is one of the best in the segment. But due to the larger fuel tank of the Tahoe, it has a superior driving range in competition. The cabin room on offer by both SUVs is almost similar, but the Expedition is the one that offers seating for only 5 passengers.
The Toyota Sequoia is a sluggish and fuel-consumptive machine. Also, the fuel economy is significantly lower than the Tahoe. The cabin space on offer with both the SUVs is quite good but the boot space on offer in the Sequoia is better than in the Chevy. Overall, the Sequoia looks a bit old-school while the Tahoe looks quite impressive from the outside as well as from the inside.
The new Chevrolet Tahoe is quite an impressive package offered by Chevrolet in the segment of full-size SUVs. It offers great off-roading capabilities as well as a robust powertrain. The SUV is not the fastest in the segment but performs quite well. Being a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, it adds more fun while the AWD option has tremendous off-roading capabilities. If you want a powerful muscular-looking machine, then the 2019 Tahoe Premier will best meet your expectations.

The Tahoe has a ton of Power while getting great gas mileage. It rides nice, can tow almost anything I throw at it and has never failed me on anything. It is nice and quiet inside with a great sound system, and creature comforts. One of, if not the only drawback to the Tahoe is, someone had a brilliant idea to build these without Gas Caps. The problem with this is, if you fill all the way up and ...
