What You Will Like

The Suburban and Tahoe are by-far the best-selling models in their class, and they're tough rivals for the Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada, among others. These two Chevy models are closely related in most ways--although there's a key difference: the Suburban is 14 inches longer in wheelbase and 20 inches longer overall than the Tahoe. The larger dimensions results in a significantly larger third-row seat than in the Tahoe--as well as easier access to it, as well as more cargo space.

Compared to rival models, the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban stand out for their ride quality and relatively efficient engines. They're also very rugged and versatile, and can be outfitted for off-road toughness, tow ability and interior luxury as needed.

Chevrolet claims that the Suburban will be the most fuel-efficient model in the full-size SUV class, thanks to tech such as direct injection and active fuel management (cylinder deactivation). Although the overall shape of the Suburban and Tahoe hasn't changed all that much, Chevy has managed to make significant improvements to aerodynamics. Chiseled sheet metal and the availability of big, 22-inch wheels help maintain a powerful look.

What's New For 2018

The biggest news for 2018 is the addition of a new RST package that can be had on either the Tahoe or the Suburban, sprucing up the exterior of the vehicle. The RST package includes 22-inch wheels, a blacked out grill, body-colored door handles, black mirror caps and black roof rails. The Tahoe also gets an optional performance package available to buyers who choose both the premium trim and the RST package. LED daytime running lamps become standard for this year.
