Word on the Street

CHEVROLET’S iconic people and cargo haulers begin a new chapter with the introduction of the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban. Each has been redesigned to be the ultimate Suv—offering the most interior space of any SUV, exclusive technologies and features, and the best driving dynamics in the full-size segment. The changes for the all-new Tahoe and Suburban start with new architecture featuring an independent rear suspension and longer wheelbase. The longer wheelbase and new chassis systems create greater ride smoothness, particularly on uneven pavement and unpaved surfaces, with improved handling.

With a 4.1-inch increase in the wheelbase and a lower cargo floor, the new Suburban has the most passenger and cargo space of any SUV. Legroom increases for both the second- and third-row passengers, and maximum cargo volume expands 19% while Suburban’s overall length increases less than 1%.

For the first time, Tahoe and Suburban’s second-row seat can slide, adjusting approximately 10 inches forward or rearward. Both the second- and third-row seats also fold more easily, and the load floor is now both flatter and lower than prior models, improving the ease of loading and unloading. The rear-door openings for the Tahoe are also larger, thanks to the increase in wheelbase.

The 2021 Tahoe and Suburban are powered by V-8 engines that are among the most advanced in Chevrolet’s history, as well as an all-new Duramax turbo-diesel engine. All are matched with a new 10-speed automatic transmission with electronic shift control.

The redesigned SUVS go on sale in mid-2020 in North America, with availability in other regions to follow. The all-new Tahoe and Suburban will be manufactured at GM’S Arlington, Texas, assembly facility.
