Chevrolet Tahoe Interior

The interior is very well appointed and in keeping with Chevrolet’s aim to create a perfect blend of style and utility. Third and fourth generation models had redesigned interiors that featured real wood trim, chrome accents and refreshed door panels and seats. Air conditioning and power windows have been standard since the 1990s models, and heated seats were first offered as an option in 1998. In later models, options include heated and cooled power seats and leather upholstery.

Chevrolet Tahoe Technology

Over the years, the Chevrolet Tahoe has provided an array of convenience features to keep passengers entertained on long trips. Depending on the trim, optional tech features on later models from 2015 include:

• Chevy MyLink with 8-inch touchscreen
• Bluetooth connectivity and integrated Wi-Fi hot spot 
• Multiple USB ports
• Remote keyless entry

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability is standard in the LS as of 2018, and OnStar® & Chevrolet Connected Services come standard on most models. A rearview camera, remote engine start and rear parking assist are available as an optional Convenience package on older models, from 2010.

Chevrolet Tahoe Space

You don’t have to choose between carrying many passengers or hauling a lot of cargo, as the Chevrolet Tahoe can handle both. There is plenty of legroom and seating for up to nine passengers in the cabin, and the large cargo area can accommodate all of their luggage. The cargo area is 15.3 cubic feet behind its third row, 51.7 cubic feet with the third row folded down, and 94.7 cubic feet with both the second and third rows folded down.

Chevrolet Tahoe Comfort

For a large SUV, the Chevrolet Tahoe rides evenly on its well-engineered suspension and maneuvers easily due to its precise steering. The cabin has good sound-dampening, so the truck is quiet as it rolls along. Chevrolet’s Magnetic Ride Control uses sensors to read and instantly react to changing road conditions, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride.
