Pricing figures for the all-new 2021
Chevrolet Tahoe have been released thanks to Auto News. Kicking off the range
is the entry-level Chevrolet Tahoe LS that will start at US$ 50,295, a US$ 1,000
premium over the old 2020 model. Sitting in the middle of the Tahoe family is
the LT model available from US$ 55,095 or just US$ 800 more than its predecessor.
Topping out the range is the Tahoe Premier on sale from US$ 63,895, a US$ 100
discount from the 2020 model.
Chevrolet will commence production of the
new Tahoe this spring initially with the short-wheelbase V8-powered models.
Production of longer-wheelbase models will commence shortly after, while
manufacturing of diesel-equipped models will start in the fall.
The new Tahoe, as well as the 2020
Chevrolet Suburban, sits on GM’s T1 truck platform which also underpins the
latest Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon. In addition, the Tahoe features new
multi-link independent rear suspension that also helps in adding 10 inches of
legroom for those sitting in the third row.
A handful of engines are on offer,
including the familiar 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 which deliver 335 hp and
420 hp respectively. Both of these engines include Dynamic Fuel Management
technology and more than 12 modes of cylinder deactivation. New to the Tahoe
range is an optional Duramax 3.0-liter inline-six turbo-diesel that is rated at
277 hp and 623 Nm of torque.
Chevrolet hasn’t said how much this new
diesel will add to the Tahoe’s price but Car and Driver expects it to come at a US$ 4,000 premium.
