The redesigned 2023 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.

What is the Tahoe?

The Chevrolet Tahoe is a large three-row SUV with seating for seven to nine people. Chevy redesigned the vehicle in 2021, giving it an independent rear suspension for the first time in its history and otherwise freshening up its workhorse SUV. That redesign included a more supportive third row, welcome news to passengers who have moved on from the juice-boxes-and-apple-slices phase of their life.

For the 2023 model year, the Tahoe is making Super Cruise, its hands-free semi-automated driving suite, available on the top two trims. Those trims, the Premier and High Country, set you back $65,000 and $72,000, respectively, a year ago. We had our say on Super Cruise earlier this year, but the addition of this feature (think Very Nice Cruise Control) may be a reason for some people to look higher up the trim line than they were previously considering. Certainly, that's what Chevy is banking on.

The large SUV category is relatively small, giving the Tahoe few competitors. It takes on the Ford Expedition, its corporate sibling the GMC Yukon, the Jeep Wagoneer and the Nissan Armada. If you're looking for an even longer Tahoe, check out the Chevrolet Suburban — which is essentially a Tahoe with a longer wheelbase.

Edmunds says

The option for Super Cruise adds another level of convenience to the 2023 Tahoe, which already offers exceptional storage and seating capacity. Those upsides, in addition to the SUV's strong towing capabilities, make it a great all-around performer if you want a lot of everything in your large SUV.

2023 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 10A)

In April 2023 I purchased a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 3.0 Diesel. While returning to KY from a family vacation in July 2023 in Virginia, the check engine light came on with 4000 miles on the odometer and the Tahoe went into limp mode in Virginia. I limped it to the next exit where I disconnected the battery and cleared the code. I drove the Tahoe into West Virginia where the check engine … light came again and the Tahoe went into limp mode leaving me on the shoulder of Interstate 64 with my family. I again disconnected the battery and cleared the code, which made it possible to drive to Grayson, KY where the check engine light came on again putting the Tahoe into limp mode. I was unable to clear the code again and was forced to contact Chevrolet Roadside Assistance. Tom Hall Towing quickly responded and towed the Tahoe to Pure Country Chevrolet, which is 2 1/2 hours from my home. A family member was travelling behind me and was able to drive my family home. I contacted Pure Country Chevrolet the next day and was informed they had already diagnosed the problem and were waiting for the part to arrive. Pure Country Chevrolet, who was excellent to deal with through this incident stated the part failure was a the oil pressure sensor solenoid. When the repairs were completed to the Tahoe, I contacted Chevrolet and was informed they could have the Tahoe delivered to my home. The United Road Inc. delivery driver was supposed to contact me when he was within 1 hour of my home, which he failed to do requiring me to contact my wife to accept the vehicle. The delivery driver did not speak English and after unloading the Tahoe from a utility trailer being towed by a 20 year old half ton pick up truck, he gestured to my wife to electronically sign for the vehicle. When I arrived home, I immediately discovered a large dent in the from drivers fender. United Road Inc. denied my claim because their non English speaking driver had received a signature for vehicle. I contacted Pure Country Chevrolet and they stepped up even though it was unclear who was responsible for the damage. A PDR Technician was able to work the dent out without damage to the pant and Pure Country Chevrolet reimbursed me $331.25. Pure Country Chevrolet provided me with great customer service through the entire process. I have driven GM Vehicles my entire life and am truly disappointed with horror stories about their lack of quality in new vehicles. These companies blame Covid and supply chain problems for lack of quality, but I own 2 vehicles of a different brand that were purchased during the Covid and have had zero issues with them.

2023 Chevy Disappointment!!

Disappointed , 07/28/2023

2023 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 10A)

Very Concerned Repeat Customer. I purchased my 2023 Tahoe LT Plus in December 2022 from Crews Chevrolet and it was delivered on January 9th, 2023. Shortly after delivery, I encountered several issues with the vehicle such as radio audio intermittently works , radio randomly reboot on its own , excessive vibiratiin from transmission when slowing down to a stop or acceleration .This … literally made me sick to drive it. My concerns were brought to Crews Chevrolet, North Charleston service department to be addressed and all I received was the run around/blank statements with no real answers for my concerns (software update, cannot duplicate defect, etc.)! This service and service's explanation is unacceptable and unfair to Me & any customer who just spent a huge amount of money for a Brand New vehicle. With absolutely no resolution, I'm very dissatisfied and disappointed with the vehicle and service center, I've decided to trade in the Tahoe after 9k miles. Now I have another 2023 Chevy Tahoe "Premiere" upgrade, from Crews Chevrolet, and spending $7k more than my last purchase- seeking peace of mind and being worry free when taking family trips. While test driving, I heard a rattling noise after hitting a bump and it was advised It was from the matting in the rear cargo area. After getting the car home and personally investigating, the rattling/loose noise is actually the rear passenger captain seat. Also, I discovered the passenger side mirror camera does not work! Here I go again! Keep in mind, I upgraded my 2016 Tahoe LT after 5+ years to 2 Brand New 2023 Tahoes within 6 months with multiple sets of defects! And, ALL of these inconveniences have been inflicted on me-the customer! I have no faith in your service department! Customers' concerns are of Zero importance. I have no more faith in GM quality control! I'm absolutely disgusted & disappointed. Going into the Second Weekend without my vehicle, I stopped by your service center on July 6, 2023, to follow-up with the repair status of my vehicle because I wasn't getting any returned calls from customer care. Regarding fixing the back-seat passenger side seat track, customer care indicated nothing has been done in wait for the vehicle’s 2nd video control module for the defective video camera. I was advised, the second video control module that was installed, didn't work because it was programmed for a different vehicle. As of today, July 7, 2023, the service department has a new replacement on hand for the video camera installation. -Which may or may not resolve the issue plus the seat track has not been addressed. I’ve also been told the service staff is short-staffed due to employees calling out. I understand warranty vehicles don't generate cash flow for the Technicians and the vehicles get pushed aside. So, the customer has no priority. Even proving so, when I track my vehicle’s location, my vehicle has been parked in the same spot since I dropped it off June 28, 2023. Still Really Disappointed!

Fully Regret Buying this vehicle (2023 Tahoe RST)

Nick, 01/22/2024

2023 Chevrolet Tahoe RST 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 10A)

My wife and I just moved back from living abroad for the last seven (7) years. We were both so excited to get back to big vehicles. When we got back, we bought a 2023 Tahoe RST Performance edition. Here is our experience so far and why we whole heartedly regret buying it. To give some details, the vehicle price with features and everything came to just under $80k. The features … should provide, maps, sign recognition, voice control, and many other things. I point these items out in particular as these features only work IF you pay the monthly fee for internet for the vehicle. When I asked about price, we were quotes $75 a month for the first 12 months and then I think it went up to $150 after that. You don't spend $80k on a car to have to pay an extra monthly fee for the features you paid for work. This brings us to the fun part. Approximately two (2) months after we owned it, we started hearing some squeaking noises that were not normal for a car with at the time 3k miles. As any good owner would do, we took the car to our local dealership down the road and were told "it's not bad enough for us to do anything yet" and that inspecting the belt "would require the entire front end to be taken off to fully inspect and we don't have time for that." At the time of this inspection, we also advised them of a squeak coming from the back window. A plastic piece was faulty and needed to be replaced. The dealership removed the old plastic part, left it in the back of our car and sent us on our way as it wasn't available yet. Five (5) months later, the vehicle died while we were out running errands. (Fun note, we were rescued by a Ford) As it was late on a Saturday night, we had the vehicle towed to our local dealership. Speaking with them on Monday morning, we are now without a vehicle or any way to get around. Unless you want to pay from your own pocket to rent a Hertz vehicle until the vehicle is fixed and they will "reimburse" you for the value AFTER the diagnosis is completed. This means if they take a few days to get to the vehicle diagnosed, you are out of pocket whatever that cost is. If it takes weeks to fix, again, you are paying it until they can get it fixed. Remember that window part, we still don't have it five (5) months later so I am anticipating its going to take time to fix the vehicle as well. Overall, the vehicle looks great. When it works it does drive well and can be a lot of fun to drive. However, the overall package that you get from Chevrolet is a complete disappointment that will either cost you extra on top of what you paid for the vehicle and let you down when something goes wrong. Once the vehicle is back in our possession, we are going to explore returning under lemon laws and finding a brand that actually cares about their customers.
