2021 Chevy Tahoe Trims Comparison

For the High Country trim only, Chevy swaps in a 6.2-liter V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft). There's also an optional turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder diesel engine (277 hp, 460 lb-ft). It won't be available at the start of the Tahoe's production run, but eventually Chevy will offer it on every Tahoe trim except the Z71.
