What Does the New Chevy Tahoe at John Hiester Chevrolet Offer?

With the Chevy Tahoe getting a complete overhaul, especially extra trims and a couple of new features inside and out, the latest model in Fuquay-Varina flaunts several upgrades like modern features, unique colors and other incredible features.

Unlike its competitors, Chevrolet offers a diesel engine option on this SUV, which is popular around Clayton, NC for its exceptional fuel efficiency. The vehicle's cabin is unmatched in this SUV category, thanks to its remarkable cargo capacity. What's more, Chevy Tahoe comprises the recent features, be it comfort and technology. The automaker also includes a couple of safety features as a standard in the new model, which is a big plus.

Key Features

The new Tahoe lineup incorporates some updates. For instance, the 6.2-liter V8 engine is now available on the Z71, RST and all upper trim levels. The off-road-based Z71 includes an electronic limited-slip differential. All trim levels except for the base LS comes with a customizable 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.

Additionally, the infotainment system on every trim contains Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. This allows you to easily plug in your compatible smartphone and listen to music or podcasts or use your phone's navigation to reach your Morrisville destination.

The automaker's Drive feature is now available as a standard. This feature deters shifting out of the park unless the front passenger or driver are buckled. The new paint options include dark ash, evergreen gray and auburn.

Performance and Fuel Economy

The new Chevy Tahoe has three engines to choose from. The base is the 5.3-liter V8 engine that produces 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. This engine has a 10-speed automatic transmission, which is available to either four-wheel or rear-wheel drive. The engine's EPA rating is 20 mpg on the highway and 16 mpg in the city.

You can also opt for the 6.2-liter V8 engine, which produces 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. It also features a 10-speed automatic transmission and either a four-wheel or rear-wheel drive. The fuel economy of a diesel engine coupled with a standard rear-wheel drive is 28 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city. On the other hand, a four-wheel-drive diesel engine has an EPA rating of 26 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in the city.

A unique powertrain offering is the 3.0-liter diesel turbocharged engine, which generates 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. It also has a 10-speed automatic transmission available to the rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. This is the option to get if you plan to haul a camper or a boat out of Cary.

Design

Fresh off a recent redesign, the new Chevy Tahoe has slight upgrades. The car remains related to Chevy's line of Silverado trucks and sits on a body-on-frame platform. However, as opposed to the truck, the Tahoe features a fully independent suspension. Also, it comes with a distinctive exterior design. Its spacious cabin is perfect for hauling cargo and families.

Safety

Chevy has armed this car with a long list of useful driver-assist technologies. All Tahoe models feature automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and following distance indicators. Lane-keep assist and front and rear parking assist are also standard in the new model.

The new Chevrolet Tahoe rides smoothly and has incredible handling around Raleigh. The longer wheelbase and independent rear suspension have significantly abolished the problematic bouncy nature in the earlier models. The sporty and deluxe RST trim comes with a smooth ride suspension, optional magnetic ride control and an air ride adaptive suspension system.
