The Chevy Tahoe is a first-rate full-size SUV that gives you outstanding performance and a massive amount of interior space. The new Tahoe has a number of advantages over comparable full-size SUV models like the GMC Yukon and the Jeep Wagoneer. Here's a look at how the Tahoe stacks up against these two respected competitors and why you'll be better off buying a new Chevy Tahoe at Granite Hills Chevrolet in Llano, TX.
The new Chevy Tahoe and the GMC Yukon are both full-size SUVs built by General Motors and they have quite a bit in common in terms of platforms and engineering. But the Chevy Tahoe pulls ahead of its corporate cousin in a number of important ways.
The Chevy Tahoe and the GMC Yukon both provide three rows and enough seating for a family of eight. But the Tahoe has an edge over the Yukon by giving Kingsland, TX families a little more interior space. The second- and third-row seating in the new Tahoe can be easily adjusted to give your family up to 123 cubic feet of cargo room.
The GMC Yukon is also very spacious but has slightly less room for cargo which makes the Tahoe a better choice for family getaways and road trips. The Tahoe has sleek, confident lines that convey a commanding presence on the highways around Granite Shoals, TX. The Yukon is designed with a more conservative, truck-like appearance so in general, the Chevy Tahoe gives you a more appealing overall design.
The Chevy Tahoe and the GMC Yukon both offer drivers a choice of three engines: A standard 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower, a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and a 3.0-liter diesel six-cylinder that generates 277 horsepower. Both full-size SUVs have a towing capacity of up to 8400 pounds but the Tahoe provides a standard rear-wheel drive setup that gives you a more dynamic driving experience and fuel efficiency that's better than the Yukon. In addition, the Tahoe is equipped with Magnetic Ride Control Suspension on higher trim levels that gives Fredericksburg, TX drivers a smoother ride than the GMC Yukon's suspension system.
The Wagoneer is another viable option in the full-size SUV class. The Jeep Wagoneer offers solid performance and a premium feel but it can't match the Tahoe in some key areas.
The Jeep Wagoneer includes upscale interior materials but the Tahoe holds its own in terms of interior design and comfort. The Tahoe offers available leather seating surfaces and premium amenities that compare well with the luxury in the Wagoneer, and the Tahoe has a more affordable price. The Tahoe gives you significant advantages over the Wagoneer with its versatile, user-friendly interior design. The Tahoe has seating that can be quickly and easily folded flat to create maximum storage capacity.
The Chevy Tahoe can be powered by a standard 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower, a 6.2-liter V8 that produces 420 horsepower and a 3.0-liter diesel six-cylinder that delivers 277 horsepower. Unfortunately, the new Jeep Wagoneer no longer offers the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine and would force you to settle for a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six as your only choice. The Tahoe posts a big win when it comes to towing capacity, giving you 8400 pounds vs. only 6120 pounds in the Jeep Wagoneer.
The Wagoneer has the same 420 horsepower as the Chevy Tahoe but if you want a more fuel efficient choice, the Jeep Wagoneer doesn't give you that option. The best available fuel economy in the new Chevy Tahoe is 28 MPG on Marble Falls, TX highways while the highest fuel efficiency in a Jeep Wagoneer is only 24 MPG on the highway.
While there are some very capable full-size SUVs out there, the Chevy Tahoe has major advantages over competitors from well-known brands like GMC and Jeep. Shop our new Chevy Tahoe SUVs online and set up a test drive at Granite Hills Chevrolet in Llano, TX.
