There’s nothing small or meek about the 2019 Chevy Tahoe. From a distance, it’s easy to see why the Chevy Tahoe is America’s number one best selling full-size SUV. The 2019 Chevy Tahoe has all the classic appeal and power of previous years but comes with even more available features and fantastic fuel economy for such a large vehicle. This full-size SUV can easily serve multiple functions for your family. It can seat the whole gang, haul a heavy load, and keep you safe when driving conditions are less-than-ideal. The 2019 Chevy Tahoe is not only big in stature but it’s also big in performance, safety, and features too.
Engine Power
The 2019 Chevy Tahoe is a born-and-bred American vehicle. Most of the Chevy Tahoes that leave the Arlington, Texas factory will be equipped with the standard 5.3-liter V8 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, which creates a powerful 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. This full-size SUV certainly has plenty of power even without any upgrades, making this powertrain nearly perfect for everyday use.
By upgrading to the RST or the new Premier Plus Special Edition version of the Tahoe, your SUV can come equipped with a powerful 6.2L V8 engine that’s primed to take on all your biggest jobs. This optional 6.2-liter V8 engine is significantly more powerful than the standard engine, managing 420 horsepower with its 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive comes standard with the RST and Premier Plus Editions, but you can upgrade to four-wheel drive for an extra cost.
Fuel economy for a full-size SUV is usually a sticking point for many potential buyers. With advances in technology and a focus on slashing gas bills for its buyers, Chevy has worked to get the 2019 Chevy Tahoe to a combined 19 MPG when rear-wheel drive is equipped. For such impressive performance brought on by the V8 engine, even the 15 MPG city and 22 MPG highway is a pleasant surprise for drivers used to higher prices at the pump. One of the ways Chevy has devised to save its drivers money is for the V8 engine to have the ability to run on just four cylinders in low-load situations. This cuts gas usage dramatically by bumping the Tahoe up into the 20-plus MPG range.
If power and capability are things you value highly, the Tahoe can get you there. By upgrading to an optional package, the 2019 Tahoe is sure to exceed your expectations of what a full-size SUV is capable of doing.
Body
Handsome and classic are two words often used to describe the Chevy Tahoe. Its timeless exterior is clean and simple, featuring a squared-off two-box design and a silhouette that is immediately recognizable in any lineup. Distinctive headlights frame the Chevy Tahoe’s large, chrome-heavy grille in the front, though the back is somewhat more subdued. The Tahoe shares a frame with the Chevy Silverado and is built on a body-on-frame architecture. This means its handling isn’t quite as tight as a more compact SUV, but its capability and performance are much higher.
Its truck-like frame will handle roads easily and its 204-inch length and 81-inch width make the Tahoe a force to be reckoned with on any road. The 2019 Tahoe has 94.7 cubic feet of cargo space in the interior, so even why you’re not towing you can transport heavy loads. With the Z71 package, you can add skid plates, recovery hooks, and light-duty all-terrain tires to your 2019 Tahoe. The new Premier Plus Special Edition package adds even more luxurious options like 22-inch alloy wheels that will make a statement no matter if you’re driving up to the office or picking up the kids.
Amenities
One of the prime reasons the Chevy Tahoe is one of America’s favorite family vehicles is its passenger capacity. The 2019 Chevy Tahoe can seat between 7 – 8 people comfortably, and those in the front seats, even luxuriously. So if you’re a parent needing room for your kids and their friends, you’ll be sure to be able to fit them all in safely and securely. The second-row seats feature split captains chairs unless the fleet-only bench seat is selected. A wide center console between the front seats will both hold and organize your personal items while on the road. If you don’t need so many seats but would like additional cargo space, the Custom package on the LS model removes the third-row seat in favor of in-floor storage bins.
The 2019 Chevy Tahoe is available with a soft touch, leather-appointed interior and acoustic-laminated windshields and inlaid doors with triple seals mean that the SUV is peaceful and quiet. That is, assuming you don’t have 5 for 6 kids in the back seats! Other available amenities include a hidden and lockable storage compartment to keep personal items out of reach and a leather-wrapped steering wheel to keep you driving in comfort and style. With this model year’s new Premier Plus Special Edition package, you can also get power retractable steps, a black and brown leather interior, and for additional styling on the exterior.
For technology, the 2019 Chevy Tahoe can be equipped with 4G LTE Wi-Fi® so that you’ll never be off the grid and always have access to your favorite apps and entertainment. This will keep your passengers entertained, especially if you’re on a family road-trip and don’t want to listen to the kids ask “are we there yet” for hours on end. Additionally, an 8-inch diagonal touch-screen display with phone integration is available for the 2019 Tahoe for your convenience.
Safety
The 2019 Chevy Tahoe gets an overall 4-star safety rating from NHTSA with 5 stars for Frontal Crash and Side Crash, making the Chevy Tahoe a great family vehicle. Many desirable safety features come standard with the Chevy Tahoe, while others come with the available LT, LS and Premier trim packages. Tahoes fitted with 17-inch or optional 18-inch wheels ride better with more body control and a softer feel, which can improve overall safety, though 20- and 22-inch wheels may look more stylish.
Here are some of the most sought-after safety features available for the 2019 Chevy Tahoe:
- Safety Alert Seat – Have your driver’s seat vibrate with a safety alert instead of an audible sound.
- Forward Collision Alert – An advanced technological feature which alerts you to slowing vehicles detected in your driving path. The distance allowed before an alert can be set by to either far, medium, near or off.
- Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking – Have your Tahoe automatically sense when a front-end collision is imminent when traveling below 50 MPH. The feature will automatically apply the brakes in this situation to help prevent a collision or reduce its severity.
- Lane Departure Warning – Get alerted when you begin to stray out of your lane to help avoid a collision.
- Lane Keeping Assist – Don’t only get alerted when you begin to stray, let your Tahoe help you automatically keep to your lane while driving!
