Overall Rating
The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe comes in three trims and comes with a 5.3-liter V8 engine that delivers weaker performance than its rivals but provides quite good fuel economy.
The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe comes in three trims and comes with a 5.3-liter V8 engine that delivers weaker performance than its rivals but provides quite good fuel economy. The interior is luxurious and the fit & finish is of great quality. The SUV provides enough space in the first and second rows but has a cramped third-row unusable for adults. The Chevrolet Tahoe has been fully redesigned for 2015 and surely is a strong contender in the affordable large SUV segment.
The mid-level LT trim costing $54,505 for the 4WD drivetrain would be the best option to choose. It comes with a lot of added features over the standard trim, including an 8-inch infotainment unit, a Bose premium 9-speaker system with subwoofer in the center console, 10-way power driver and passenger seats with 6-way power cushions, 2-way power lumbar control and power recline, and driver seat 2-position memory along with many more features.

The engine's power is transferred to the rear wheels through 8-speed automatic transmission. Although, an all-wheel-drive setup is available for an added price. The Tahoe reaches 60mph in 6.7 seconds flat and crosses the quarter-mile mark in 15.1 seconds, which are pretty good numbers considering the size and segment.

In comparison, the Ford Expedition is the fastest of the lot. With a comparatively smaller 3.6 L V6 under its hood putting out 365 hp and 420 lb-ft, the Ford launches to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds and crosses the quarter-mile mark in 13.9 seconds. The Toyota comes next in terms of acceleration with even more power. The Toyota has a 5.7 L V8 under its hood outputting 381 hp and 401 lb-ft. It takes 6.6 seconds to reach 60mph and 15.2 seconds to cross the quarter-mile. The Chevrolet Tahoe is the slowest to reach 60 mph while the Toyota crosses the quarter-mile last.
Considering its size and segment, we know that high expectations are not to be kept from the Tahoe. However, the Chevrolet Tahoe delivers a comparatively higher fuel-efficiency of 16 mpg in the city, 23 on the highway, and 18 mpg of combined fuel economy. The Tahoe gets a 26-gallon fuel capacity, outputting a range of 416 miles in the city, 598 on the highway, and a combined range of 468 miles. The efficiency figures are on the higher side compared to other vehicles in the segment.

The 2015 Tahoe provides good amounts of space on the inside. There are three rows providing seating for 7 people cocooned in luxury. The interior of the cabin has super luxurious features, including Tri-zone automatic climate control. The seats are covered in leather and so is the steering wheel. The front and second-row seats are spacious and comfortable with enough support, whereas the third row is super cramped and provides an awkward seating position for adults. So, as usual, it can be just left for children.

The Chevrolet is the most spacious option in the front row, followed by the competition. When it comes to second-row space, all of the competition performs head to head.

When it comes to cargo capacity, the Toyota has the most of 18.9 cu-ft, followed by the Ford with 18.6 cu-ft and the Chevy with 15.3 cu-ft of the cargo area. Major interior features include-

The audio system sounds great. Few key features include-
The fully redesigned Tahoe still looks super huge, but a lot more sleek, elegant, and luxurious now. The design is still flat and bland with very few design cues. The front end features a huge grille, which is chrome covered in the LTZ trim along with HID headlamps with LED fog lamps. The side profile features 18” wheels in the lower trims and bigger 20” ones in the higher LTZ trim. The rear end is flat and boring, and there’s nothing to specify about the design of the back. The Tahoe gets a ground clearance of 7.9 inches.

The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is a well-priced great choice to opt for in the affordable big-size SUV market.

Even though it is not the most powerful, it does provide an overall sufficient features set, thus turning out to be a decent pick for the segment.
