Carbuzz.com Claims 2021 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban “Destined For Segment Leadership”

When the New Year makes its way around here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis, it’s the perfect time to offer up a new generation of vehicles. As champagne glasses toast and the flurry of holidays continues, many reveling and watching the ball drops are thinking about their own resolutions and plans for their business and family. The full-size segment is a great place to start for a new vehicle when you are experiencing growth, and this year both the 2021 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban see additions such as an inline-six diesel.

There is also the first-time addition of a push-button shifter and independent rear suspension.  A hefty amount of capital has been invested into the Arlington plant over the last 4 years, resulting in a new body shop, paint shop, and numerous other state-of-the-art technologies to boost productivity and climate awareness during build. Chevy actually was the originator of the template for the modern SUV back in 1935. The same winning template is adhered to today, and both the Tahoe and Suburban have dominated based on their longstanding durability, and potential to effortlessly lug massive cargo.

Jay Traugott of Carbuzz.com wrote earlier this month that the “improved driving dynamics and new architecture” are key components in the Suburban's recipe for 12-generation domination, and it of course still comes with three rows of seats. The interior now boasts greater legroom for third-row passengers, and he also gave the Suburban a 10/10 score for overall reliability. The front-end styling sees a bit of noticeable difference due to the angles of the lights, LED headlamps, and larger-sized grille. It does share a few common qualities with the latest model Silverado truck, and 6 trim levels will be available. LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier and High Country are what's up for grabs, and 9 exterior colors on top of 18, 20, or 22-inch wheels are available dependent on trim selection.

The Tahoe has long seen its predominant rival as the Ford Expedition, which just saw a redesign a year ago. The incoming Tahoe boasts a 4.9-inch longer wheelbase than before and a 6.7-inch increase in length. All three rows are much more spacious, especially the third row where passengers will enjoy an extra 10 inches of legroom. The coveted High Country model is where you really get to upgrade the power on board: it brandishes the 6.2-liter V8 with 420 hp. 

On High Country and Premier trims, Air Ride Adaptive Suspension is constantly adhering to the changes in the road to assure that everyone on board has the smoothest ride possible. This is really one of the best features out there today: traditional steel spring suspension can make for a much harsher experience, and it's amazing to feel like you “gliding” over bumps instead of nearly bottoming out and doing damage to the suspension! Luxuries like this are just like air conditioning in the desert once you get accustomed to it, and you'll enjoy the extra smooth and stable feel of every single drive in the 2020 Tahoe or Silverado!
