The first Suburban was introduced in 1935 and was the segment’s leader, thus the nameplate was kept for more than 70 years.
Just like his Suburban brother, the new Tahoe was announced in late 2013, production started in 2014 and the car was dubbed 2015.
Chevrolet decided to launch the two brothers with the same two engines: a 5.3-liter V8 and a 6.2-liter V8, both of them hooked up to the Hydra-Matic 6L80 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Most of the improvements could be noticed on the inside, where new safety features like a radar, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, lane change assist and rear cross traffic alert joined forces to keep you and your family protected. Furthermore, the new chassis was stronger and had a wider track, while the LTZ models also benefited from 3rd generation magnetic ride control that enhanced the body control using a real-time damping system.
The new functionalities available for both Tahoe and Suburban included foldable seats for the 2nd and the 3rd row offering more cargo space if necessary, grater legroom for the passengers on the 2nd row, an 8-inch touchscreen radio, six USB ports and six power outlets, a rear-seat entertainment system with a Blu-ray DVD player, keyless entry and more.
The cars were built at the GM’s Texas plant.
