The redesigned 2022 Tahoe has big improvements in ride comfort, technology and convenience features. But overly firm seats and a puzzling interior layout mean there's less useful storage than you might expect for such a big vehicle. Still, family haulers don't get much more modern and capable than this.

2022 Chevrolet Tahoe Review
Pros
- Roomy interior for passengers and cargo
- Smooth ride
- Easy-to-use touchscreen
- Robust diesel engine option
Cons
- Uncomfortable front and second-row seats
- Interior control layout isn't particularly intuitive
- Some interior materials seem downmarket for the price
- Low handling limits
What's new
- Minor changes to package contents and names throughout lineup
- Lane keeping assist and front and rear parking sensors are now standard
- Enhanced Google-based voice controls for 10.2-inch infotainment system
- Part of the fifth Tahoe generation introduced for 2021
Overview

The Chevrolet Tahoe is a large three-row SUV with seating for seven to nine people. The current-generation Tahoe was introduced for 2021, and with it came the first independent rear suspension in the model's history. Besides improving ride comfort and handling, that major upgrade makes the third-row seating more livable. But rest assured, the Tahoe's newfound refinement hasn't diminished this SUV's stout towing and hauling capabilities.

Large SUV competitors for the Tahoe are few but include the Ford Expedition, its corporate sibling the GMC Yukon, the new Jeep Wagoneer and the Nissan Armada. There's also the Chevrolet Suburban, which is a long-wheelbase version of the Tahoe that has additional cargo space. Which SUV should you get?

Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Average
7.4
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7/10
How does the Tahoe drive? Considering its size, the Tahoe does all right for itself under acceleration and braking. We tested a 4WD Tahoe with the 5.3-liter V8 engine and recorded a 0-60 mph sprint of 7.7 seconds, which is an average time for a large SUV. But for higher-speed passing maneuvers, you'll need a lot of throttle and some patience since the Tahoe's smaller V8 engine simply runs out of steam once you're past 65 mph or so. The somewhat soft brake pedal is our only complaint with the otherwise smooth and capable braking system.
Navigating city streets with the Tahoe is easy thanks to its tight turning circle and light steering. The 10-speed automatic transmission shifts promptly and unobtrusively. But the Tahoe's light steering is vague, especially at higher speeds, and the Tahoe makes it clear that you're driving a large SUV and should probably take it easy around corners.
When equipped with the optional Z71 package, the Tahoe benefits from its height-adjustable air suspension and good approach and departure angles. It's quite capable in moderate off-roading situations.

Comfort
7/10
How comfortable is the Tahoe? The Tahoe's new independent rear suspension has cured many issues that plagued the last generation. Our test vehicle was equipped with a fully adaptive suspension and easily soaked up bumps big and small. The Tahoe could have scored higher in this category, but the first- and second-row seats are overly hard and lack the support and padding needed for long-distance driving. The Tahoe's third-row seats at least offer better padding and support than the third rows in most of the competition.
The Tahoe's multi-zone climate control system's effectiveness does not disappoint; heating and cooling are effective for all three rows. We're less fond of the smaller climate control buttons in the front and the excessive noise of the rear climate system, especially if you're sitting in the third row. Another source of elevated noise is the windshield. It produced a distinct roar at highway speeds.

Another source of elevated noise is the windshield. It produced a distinct roar at highway speeds.
Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? The wide-opening doors offer easy access to front and rear seats, and even third-row passengers have ample headroom to get to their seats. The driver's seat and steering wheel have a wide range of adjustment to suit a variety of drivers. Visibility is generally good, though the tall front end can make it nearly impossible to see obstacles closer than 6 feet away. Thankfully, the Tahoe offers an excellent multi-view camera system to make parking in tight spots a breeze.
Our biggest complaint is the Tahoe's inefficient use of space. The dash-mounted push-button shifter has forced many secondary controls to be relocated and bunched together, for example, and the redundant controls for the audio system and touchscreen take up too much prime dashboard real estate. The Tahoe's steering wheel-mounted controls aren't very intuitive either.

Technology
7.5/10
How’s the tech? Our test vehicle was equipped with a 10.2-inch screen and navigation. We're fans of Chevrolet's latest touchscreen interface — it offers crisp graphics, an easy-to-understand menu structure and quick response times. It also has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
You'll find plenty of charging ports through the cabin, but if you opt for the power center console, those charge ports are moved to the same bin that holds the wireless charging pad. That creates a somewhat inconvenient mess of wires.
Our Z71-equipped test vehicle did not offer adaptive cruise control, which is a bit of an oversight for a nearly $70,000 SUV. We also found the lane-keeping assist system to be slow to respond and inconsistent. Another disappointment: Our test Tahoe's stability control system was poorly calibrated. It was prone to overreacting when going around turns and dramatically reduced the vehicle's speed far beyond what we thought was necessary.

It was prone to overreacting when going around turns and dramatically reduced the vehicle's speed far beyond what we thought was necessary.
Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? Thanks to the independent rear suspension and larger overall dimensions, the new Tahoe can hold 25.5 cubic feet of stuff behind the third-row seats compared to the predecessor's 15.3 cubic feet. The maximum capacity grows to 122.9 cubic feet.
The driver and front passenger have little in the way of small-item storage, with only two cupholders and a bin that, depending on your options, may or may not be a wireless charging pad. The center console isn't as big as we expected either and is lined with hard plastic. Chevrolet did give the Tahoe a lot of door pocket storage, with the front doors getting three tiers for your personal items. Second-row passengers lack a center console but also get ample storage in the door pockets.
When properly equipped, the Tahoe can tow up to 8,400 pounds. Our 4WD Z71-equipped test vehicle was rated to tow 8,200 pounds, though we think the 5.3-liter V8 might be pretty strained doing so. Consider getting the more powerful 6.2-liter V8 or more frugal diesel six-cylinder if you plan on doing a lot of towing. For comparison, Ford's Expedition can tow up to 9,000 pounds.

Fuel Economy
7.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates a 4WD Tahoe with the 5.3-liter V8 will get 16 mpg combined, which is an average figure for a big SUV. On our 115-mile evaluation route, our test Tahoe returned 17.8 mpg
It should also be noted the 5.3-liter engine in the Tahoe does not require premium gasoline, while the Ford Expedition's turbocharged engine recommends it. Chevrolet offers a more powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine that's also estimated to get 16 mpg combined. There's also an available diesel engine that's good for an impressive 24 mpg.

Value
7.5/10
Is the Tahoe a good value? Packing a full-size SUV with technology and luxury isn't going to result in a low price tag. The Tahoe starts at just over $50K and can easily exceed $80K if you like your options. Our fairly well-equipped Z71 test vehicle came in at $68,940, and for the most part it looked every bit worth that price. There are some areas of unimpressive hard plastic, but the overall fit and finish is generally good. It's definitely a match for Ford's equally pricey and capable Expedition.
The Tahoe's bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties are fairly standard at three years/36,000 miles and five years/60,000 miles, respectively. More impressive are Chevy's five years/60,000 miles of roadside assistance and year of free scheduled maintenance.

Wildcard
7.5/10
People expect comfort, capability and convenience with a large SUV, and the Chevrolet Tahoe delivers. Its redesigned rear suspension offers better interior space, increased cargo volume and a smoother ride over a wide variety of surfaces. In short, it does a better job at being the family workhorse.

2022 Chevrolet Tahoe trim level differences
The 2022 Tahoe is offered in six trim levels: the LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier and High Country. The standard engine on the Tahoe is a 5.3-liter V8 (355 horsepower, 383 lb-ft) mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive is available on all trim levels and standard on the Z71. Two other engines are also available.
Which Tahoe trim does Edmunds recommend?
The base Chevrolet Tahoe comes with a generous assortment of standard features, but your options really open up when you choose the RST trim. That model gets a unique exterior and special seats, and it's also the cheapest Tahoe you can get with the potent 6.2-liter V8 and Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension.

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
Let me start off by saying I Love Tahoes and have purchased 4 and traded in my 2017 for the newly 2021 model. My truck had been in the shop 8 times to say it took 45 days to get here because it was in quality assurance. I understand the recalls as they come with any vehicles, especially new ones. However, my constant problem has been with the engine light coming on every day, and I … purchased my vehicle in September and still do not have inspection sticker due to this. Secondly, my head rest have been replaced and fixed 3x but every time the seats go down, they break (back seats). My biggest problem, I see where many have complained about the malfunctions within the screen/car play/blue tooth. The screen occasionally goes black, gets stuck and does not work. I have had it to loose sound, to include radio. During calls, the other calls and yourself will sound like a robot, whether or not it is connected by Bluetooth or through the aux plug. Personally, I hold so many conference calls while on the road or driving for my business. Its a big problem when you cant do this hands free. I have never encountered this problem with any of my other tahoes. I have been able to record all of this and have sent it to the shop 8 times, but they can only send a complaint to GM hoping many will complain enough for GM to replace. If not, I am stuck with the problem for no telling how long.

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
Purchased a 2021 Tahoe Premier in early October, it has already been in the shop once and is about to go back in. With this new model, there are several issues and bugs already popping up.
The first issue we had was an improperly installed front bumper sensor that was not seated flush on the bumper. When you pushed it with your finger, it pushed all the way into the bumper. Chevy had to … rip off a bumper from another Tahoe on the lot to install on mine.
This week, we have received two error messages on the dashboard:
- "Service Safety Restraint System"
- "Check Reverse Lamp" when putting vehicle in reverse.
I called our dealer and this is a known issue with the 2021's. We are now working on a gameplan to get these issues, plus 1 other bulletin/recall related to the braking system resolved.
While I love the interior and exterior look of the new Tahoe, I'd wait for these current and future bugs to be resolved. This is by far the worst experience I've had with a brand new car.
2021 Tahoe RST Engine Failure
2 out of 5 starsShae , 03/18/2021
2021 Chevrolet Tahoe RST 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
We purchased our 2021 Tahoe RST in November. This SUV is babied more than my toddler. We absolutely love everything other than the completely useless Rear Entertainment System. Also, the fact that you are “sold” all of these features such as Navi, two screen rear-entertainment, etc. but then to use the features, it’s an ONStar monthly costs as well to have the word-if, certain packages, … etc. The entertainment does not use Apple Car Play. You pretty much have to use a Firestick, USB of movies, etc. to utilize it. If you don’t turn off the option where your car doesn’t cut off when it’s stopped it will reset the devices at every red light. This feature has to be turned off every time you start the car. So, we opt to use the iPads instead. Total waste of money there. However, we love our Tahoe in spite of those things UNTIL YESTERDAY. We have less than 6400 miles in it. We were going about 30 minutes up the road and 10 minutes into our drive the vehicle started to pop. Then it started to shake. Then it started to miss. It went from our new car feel to a log truck in less than 5 minutes. We finally make it to the dealership and they tell us it’s not driveable. The lifter in Cylinder 4 isn’t working period. The emissions light went off. The traction system went off. Just about every sensor on the truck went crazy. I’m not sure how long it’s going to be in the shop. They put me in an Equinox loaner car which is equally infuriating. It’s very concerning, at best, to be having major engine problems at less than 6500 miles on a $70k vehicle. Stay tuned.
Total LEMON!!!
