The new for 2021 Tahoe enters the modern era with an independent rear suspension that improved ride comfort, handling and third-row room. This is a massive vehicle that’s very functional, comfortable and high-tech. The standard 5.3-liter V8 is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and together the powertrain supplies plenty of predictable uninterrupted power. The ride is comfortable but steadier in the Premier trim. Handling is rather ponderous but secure. The enormous cabin is eerily quiet. Controls are mostly straightforward to use except for the tricky gear selector which was replaced with a more traditional style shifter for 2025. It's a big step to get into the Tahoe and the tall hood cuts forward visibility. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection are standard. Updates for 2022 include standard lane keeping assistance and lane departure warning. The 2025 Tahoe received a refresh. Among significant changes introduced were a revised interior with a larger 17.7-inch infotainment screen, a more powerful diesel engine, and a new front fascia. 2025 models also gain standard automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection that functions at highway speeds, standard adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams. The latest version of GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving system and features to aid with trailer towing are also available.
