The Chevrolet Tahoe is described as huge, imposing, powerful, and luxurious, especially in the full version (High Country). This 2.5-ton SUV measures over 5 meters in length, 2 meters in width, and has a wheelbase of 3.07 meters. It is an SUV derived from the American automaker’s Silverado trucks, featuring a robust front similar to the Silverado and the new Colorado. The sides and the rear continue to present strong and bold lines.
Inside, it’s not just a cabin; it’s a true living room, especially for those traveling in the second-row seats. The third row is one of the most spacious for a 7-seater SUV, with Chevrolet even claiming eight seats to choose from.
The entry and mid-range versions of the Chevrolet Tahoe are equipped with a 5.3 V8 engine delivering a maximum power of 355 horsepower. Additionally, the full version, High Country, offers a 6.2 V8 engine with a maximum power of 420 horsepower. However, all versions use the same 10-speed automatic transmission. The LS and LT versions feature 4×2 traction, while the two upper versions (RST and High Country) have integral (4×4) traction.
All versions come with a suspension with high-pressure shocks. The full version also features a system called Magnetic Ride Control® Suspension, which uses magnetorheological fluid and sensors instead of mechanical valves, resulting in less friction and greater resistance.
The average price in US dollars in the Dominican Republic starts at US$64,500 for the LS 5.3 V8 version, US$74,500 for the LT 5.3 V8, US$80,500 for the RST 5.3 V8, and US$89,500 for the Chevrolet Tahoe High Country 6.2 V8.
The top speed of this giant ranges from 218 km/h for the 5.3 V8 versions to 248 km/h achieved by the Tahoe 6.2 V8 High Country.
