Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe

6.2L V-8 Power with 10-Speed Automatic

The available 6.2-liter V-8 is the most potent gasoline engine in the Tahoe lineup, rated at 420 horsepower and paired to a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic. This combination brings confident acceleration for merging and passing, plus refined highway manners with quiet cruising. The transmission’s balanced gearing keeps the V-8 in its sweet spot, while rear-wheel drive and available four-wheel drive configurations let you dial in traction for your environment. Drivers who want brisk response with a traditional V-8 feel will appreciate how the 6.2-liter elevates the Tahoe’s performance without sacrificing everyday usability.

Available 3.0L Diesel Inline-Six Torque

The optional 3.0-liter diesel inline-six delivers a compelling blend of torque and smoothness, with 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque on tap. It’s a natural fit for long-distance travel and towing, thanks to low-rpm pull and relaxed cruising. Like the V-8s, it’s paired with a 10-speed automatic. Shoppers who prioritize range between fill-ups, a calm demeanor on the highway, and abundant low-end torque for trailers or gear will find the diesel a smart choice. The diesel is available on every trim, giving you the freedom to select the cabin and styling you want without sacrificing the powertrain you prefer.

Trailering Confidence up to 8,400 Pounds

Tahoe’s truck-based roots show in its towing capability. Properly configured, it can tow up to 8,400 pounds. The 5.3-liter V-8 with rear-wheel drive delivers the top rating, while the available 6.2-liter V-8 and available diesel inline-six are close behind at 8,300 and 8,200 pounds respectively. Beyond raw numbers, Chevrolet integrates helpful towing technologies: a trailer-tire monitoring system, boat-ramp assist, and navigation that can calculate routes based on trailer size. Combine these with the Tahoe’s composed chassis and available four-wheel drive for confident control on steep grades, slippery ramps, or busy highways.

17.7-Inch Infotainment and Connected Cabin

Every Tahoe includes a 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen angled toward the driver for quick access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with a Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless smartphone charging. An 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster brings modern clarity to key driving data, and available upgrades such as a Bose premium audio system and a rear-seat entertainment system with dual displays keep passengers engaged on longer trips. This is a cabin designed around everyday convenience—plenty of storage spaces, thoughtful controls, and the connectivity today’s families expect.

Chevy Safety Assist and Available Super Cruise

Advanced driver assistance is a Tahoe strong suit. Standard technologies include automated emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist, and an automatic high-beam headlamp system. Select trims offer Super Cruise—GM’s hands-free driving feature—plus available adaptive cruise control. The result is a confident drive across highways and city streets, with features that support awareness in traffic, help reduce fatigue on longer trips, and add precision when towing. When conditions permit, available Super Cruise takes convenience another step with hands-free functionality on compatible roads.
