With each model year for a vehicle, there are always some upgrades and features that are interesting and can really add value to a model. Sometimes, however, you get an entire generation for an established and proven vehicle: when that happens, then you really have something exciting on your hands. Such is the case with the 2021 Chevy Tahoe, which has been improved in ways far beyond your standard yearly update. The Tahoe is bigger, has more interior space, and incredible features that make it an absolute thrill to drive.
The engineers and designers at Chevy have truly outdone themselves with the Tahoe, both inside and out. It starts with a larger overall size, making the 2021 model even more commanding on the road and offering an incredible driving experience. This is paired with great engines, including an option for a powerful turbo-diesel that delivers incredible power and amazing fuel economy. That experience is taken even further, thanks to an independent rear suspension with available magnetic ride control and an available first-in-class four-corner air ride adaptive suspension, giving you a driving experience beyond anything you have ever felt in a Chevy Tahoe.
Inside, you will find incredible upgrades and features, including a large infotainment display, a massive available head-up display, and a sliding center console up front. This is combined with amazing features throughout, like an available rear-seat media system with a pair of 12-inch LCD touchscreens and more interior space than the previous generation. No matter what you are looking for in a full-size SUV, the 2021 Chevy Tahoe has you covered with seating for up to nine people and amazing safety features to protect you and your loved ones.

There are three different engines available on the 2021 Chevy Tahoe. Two of them are the powerful and popular engines that were offered before, with one other option that you can take advantage of. This gives you a lot of freedom to get the kind of power and driving experience you really want.
The standard engine on the 2021 Tahoe is a 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine that offers up to 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. This includes dynamic fuel management technology to help boost your fuel economy. Next, there is an available 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine that delivers up to 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, which also has dynamic fuel management. Both of these engines come paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for a smooth and very responsive driving experience.
If you want an engine unlike what you will find in most other full-size SUVs out there, then you can choose an available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel, which delivers up to 277 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. This also comes with a 10-speed automatic, so you do not have to sacrifice a great drive for the power and fuel efficiency of a diesel engine. While a diesel engine might not be right for everyone, having it as an option is a fantastic aspect of the Tahoe.
Some of the pieces of technology in the 2021 Chevy Tahoe that we are most excited about are not things you are going to necessarily interact with directly, but they will greatly impact your overall driving experience. While they might not be as immediately flashy as the large infotainment display or gorgeous head-up display, they are no less important.
One of the nicest mechanical upgrades for the Tahoe this generation is the use of an independent rear suspension for a better driving experience and more interior space. This is paired with available magnetic ride control for a truly responsive ride that just works beautifully. These two features, in tandem, really give you a lot of control while you are driving and let your Tahoe handle pretty much anything you throw at it.
Perhaps the most exciting feature, however, is the four-corner air ride adaptive suspension that is available on certain trims of the 2021 Chevy Tahoe. This suspension system can automatically raise and lower the ride height to adjust for road conditions and ensure you are as comfortable and in-control as possible. You can even manually raise and lower the vehicle while parked to make it easier for passengers to get into and out of your Tahoe.
Inside the 2021 Chevy Tahoe, you will find a lot of space for your cargo and passengers, as well as some fantastic technology for making long road trips a lot of fun. The interior of the Tahoe is bigger than before, providing you with a lot more space. You can get seating for between seven and nine passengers, depending on your needs and the configuration you choose.
Design changes to the interior and the independent rear suspension have allowed for a lot more cargo room inside the Tahoe than in the past. For example, in the 2020 Tahoe, there was about 15 cu.ft. of space behind the third row of seats, about 51 cu.ft. behind the second row, and just over 94 cu.ft. of total cargo volume behind the front row. However, with the 2021 model, you now get more than 25 cu.ft. of space behind the third row, more than 72 cu.ft. of space behind the second row, and nearly 123 cu.ft. of total space behind the front row of seats.
The technology that Chevy has packed into the Tahoe is also remarkable. For example, there is a 10-inch infotainment display standard, which provides you with navigation and entertainment info with gorgeous clarity. You can also get a 15-inch head-up display that projects the information you need onto the windshield, so you never have to take your eyes off the road. There is also a rear-seat media system available, which features a pair of 12-inch LCD touchscreen displays to keep your passengers entertained. This all comes together to make for one of the most sophisticated and impressive Chevy SUVs we have ever seen.
Nothing is as important as the safety of you and your passengers when you are on the road. The standard safety features in the 2021 Chevy Tahoe help keep you safe with a forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking to reduce the severity of or help you avoid a collision. There is also automatic front pedestrian braking, a following distance indicator, and auto high beams all standard.
Available safety features take this even further, of course, to ensure you and your loved ones are always safe on the road. This includes adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you, a lane keep assist system with a lane departure warning, and a rear cross traffic alert that warns you of traffic behind you while you are in reverse.
There is also an available lane change alert system with a side blind zone alert, to help make sure you are aware of vehicles that might be hiding in your blind zone, as well as a safety alert seat that uses vibrations to warn you about safety issues rather than audible beeping. You can also get an available HD Surround Vision system that uses multiple cameras to display an overhead image of the area around your vehicle, so you can get a better sense of your surroundings, which works with up to nine cameras for incredible visibility. All of this ensures that you can get a Tahoe that is every bit as safe and secure as you want it to be.
