In an era in which SUVs are flooding the automotive market, you want to find one that's unique and powerful, beautiful and capable, spacious and comfortable. For many drivers, especially those with large families or large social circles, the smaller SUVs will not do. They do not offer enough extra seating, and the cargo space, while more than a four-door sedan, it's still not enough when friends and family are looking to take a trip to the Catskills for a summer weekend. For a single commuter, a small SUV might be ideal, but not so much for those who like to travel with others. What many drivers need in order to excel is an SUV that has some extra oomph under the hood along with three rows of seating. Enter the 2025 Chevy Tahoe.
The Chevy Tahoe has been a key part of our selection here at DePaul Chevrolet for years. Since its debut in the early 1990s, it has gained a reputation for being a full-size SUV with a stellar kick. Drivers will be impressed with the amount of cargo room the Tahoe provides. Best yet, due to the Tahoe's power, it can tow, as well. Unsurprisingly, this full-size SUV has seen success on the roads for decades: it has everything a family driver could need. The 2025 model looks to be the most exciting iteration of this Chevy full-size SUV yet, so we want to walk you through all the details, giving you an inside look at what's sure to be a bestseller. We know that the roads of New York will be yours to command if you're behind the wheel of a Tahoe. Let's see precisely why.
Starting at
Here's the dream: an SUV that has you riding smoothly no matter the highway or off-road you're on. You have an engine that lets you accelerate quickly so that you're never stuck on a highway entrance ramp, and you're always the one who sets the pace on the road. The power means you can bring along a camper, some ATVs, or whatever else you need to move that day, whether for enjoyment or work. In short, the dream SUV is one that leaves no question among friends and family that you have the most capable vehicle when planning that weekend adventure. The Chevy Tahoe is just such a vehicle, thanks to its stellar performance.
The Tahoe comes with a V8 engine. Depending upon the trim, your standard will be either a 5.3L or a 6.2L engine. The former produces 355 hp, and the latter produces 420 hp. The horsepower directly correlates to how swiftly you can accelerate and how gentle the ride is even when New York's roads turn rough. You'll never feel like your engine is coughing to meet your demands; it's just as eager to roar as you are. Great horsepower also means traveling off-road will be manageable for you and your passengers; combine that with the outstanding suspension, and you're providing the best ride in town.
There is also a new diesel engine that used to be found on the Silverado: a 3.0L inline-six engine that makes your torque rating skyrocket to 495 lb-ft. Great torque translates to great off-roading, so if you're planning on exploring some of the campgrounds of New York, the diesel engine could be your best bet.
These great engines also allow the Tahoe to tow a lot. With the 5.3L V8 engine, you can tow up to 8400 lbs; that's equal to the towing capability of some other manufacturers' pickup trucks. That means in addition to more exciting vacations, the Tahoe can also help if you're a laborer who needs to move both equipment and people around. Every day will be a success with this amount of capability.
When you own a full-size SUV, you expect space and comfort. With the Tahoe, you're guaranteed both. This full-size SUV has seating for up to eight, so no one needs to be left behind when heading out onto the roads. The interior is quite spacious, with plenty of legroom. Chevy wants passengers to feel like there's no bad seat in the SUV. Adults can easily fit into the third row with room to spare, unlike in some other manufacturers' SUVs, where the third row is uncomfortable for all passengers.
The Tahoe's superior suspension helps make the ride smooth. If you're driving through the Catskills, crossing rough terrain, your passengers will not feel jostled around. If you go for the Tahoe's High Country trim, you can have some fancy luxury touches that your passengers will enjoy, too. Get ready for perforated leather upholstery and wood trims.
The rear of the Tahoe holds plenty of room for luggage. If you are taking along eight people, there's going to be space for what they're bringing along. However, if you are interested in moving furniture or larger items, you'll be thrilled that you can lower the second and third rows to provide an additional cargo volume of 122.9 cu.ft. That will be an immense help if you're moving apartments or helping out friends and family with projects. Just make sure not to let too many people know about all that room, or they'll be asking for your help nonstop.
The Chevy Tahoe is not just tech-friendly; it's practically tech-hungry. Your 2025 Chevy Tahoe will be packed with features that will make your rides fun, efficient, and safe. Chevy's innovation is on prime display with how smart the Tahoe has become with this new model.
You'll have a 17.7-inch crystal clear touchscreen from which you can manage all your apps, letting you manipulate your playlist or get your podcast going. Sound management will be easy. Climate control, too. Navigation will be a cinch as your touchscreen will prominently display maps and directions. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, making connecting your phone to your touchscreen simple. If you're worried about your phone running out of power, don't worry: the Tahoe comes equipped with a wireless phone charger. There's also a WiFi hotspot, so you'll never have to be out of touch with others.
The towing ability of the Tahoe is helped by an available Advanced Trailering System. It uses the Tahoe's many cameras to let you see how your trailer is positioned and what, if anything, you might need to do differently. It's great for when you're parking or managing a narrow area. You can also monitor your tire pressure and create a pre-departure checklist to ensure you're up to date on what you need to do before taking off. You can also opt for Super Cruise Control, which allows you to enter cruise control mode even when towing. This will make long trips across New York a lot less stressful.
Also sure to make your ride less stressful? The Chevy Safety Assist features. With systems like Front Pedestrian Braking and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, your Tahoe will alert you to potential problems and even take action if it senses that a crisis is imminent. Your Tahoe will be akin to a co-pilot, always keeping an eye out for trouble and doing its best to keep you and your passengers safe. While there's no safety system better than an aware driver, the Tahoe's Chevy Safety Assist is a close second.
