Chevrolet Tahoe 2022
The Chevrolet Tahoe is a large three-row SUV with seating for seven to nine people. The current-generation Tahoe was introduced for 2021, and with it came the first independent rear suspension in the model's history. Besides improving ride comfort and handling, that major upgrade makes the third-row seating more livable. But rest assured, the Tahoe's newfound refinement hasn't diminished this SUV's stout towing and hauling capabilities.

Chevrolet Tahoe 2022
The Chevrolet Tahoe is a large three-row SUV with seating for seven to nine people. The current-generation Tahoe was introduced for 2021, and with it came the first independent rear suspension in the model’s history. Besides improving ride comfort and handling, that major upgrade makes the third-row seating more livable. But rest assured, the Tahoe’s newfound refinement hasn’t diminished this SUV’s stout towing and hauling capabilities.
Large SUV competitors for the Tahoe are few but include the Ford Expedition, its corporate sibling the GMC Yukon, the new Jeep Wagoneer and the Nissan Armada. There’s also the Chevrolet Suburban, which is a long-wheelbase version of the Tahoe that has additional cargo space. Which SUV should you get?

How does the Tahoe drive? Considering its size, the Tahoe does all right for itself under acceleration and braking. We tested a 4WD Tahoe with the 5.3-liter V8 engine and recorded a 0-60 mph sprint of 7.7 seconds, which is an average time for a large SUV. But for higher-speed passing maneuvers, you’ll need a lot of throttle and some patience since the Tahoe’s smaller V8 engine simply runs out of steam once you’re past 65 mph or so. The somewhat soft brake pedal is our only complaint with the otherwise smooth and capable braking system.
Navigating city streets with the Tahoe is easy thanks to its tight turning circle and light steering. The 10-speed automatic transmission shifts promptly and unobtrusively. But the Tahoe’s light steering is vague, especially at higher speeds, and the Tahoe makes it clear that you’re driving a large SUV and should probably take it easy around corners.
