Overall Rating
There have been no major changes to the 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe over the previous year’s model. It carries the same V8 engine which has great power output and overall performance.
There have been no major changes to the 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe over the previous year’s model. It carries the same V8 engine which has great power output and overall performance. The Tahoe is quick for its size but lacks in terms of fuel economy. The interior is spacious and provides great overall comfort to the passengers.
We would recommend you to opt for their mid LT trim as it adds much better features over the base model with an increase of around $5,000. Some of these additional features include leather upholstery, a better sound system, automatic climate control, and many more. Thus starting at $45,555, the LT trim provides the best value for the money spent.

The interior design of the Chevrolet Tahoe is well laid as the ergonomic design makes it convenient for all interior operations. The interior trim is available in wooden trim which feels premium, but on the lower trims, we see the use of a lot of plastic panels which do not feel good to look at or even touch. But the interior is spacious and can easily accommodate up to 9 people in total.
The front row provides the best headroom and legroom, while the third-row seats fall short of the legroom which makes it uncomfortable for long rides. The Tahoe provides a cargo capacity of 16.9 cu.ft behind the third row, while with all seats folded, it provides a maximum cargo capacity of 108.9 cu.ft.
