2024 Chevy Tahoe SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe is a three-row full-size SUV that can seat up to nine passengers. It's offered in six trim levels: LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier and High Country. The base engine is a 5.3-liter V8 (355 horsepower, 383 lb-ft). Rear-wheel drive is standard for most models, and four-wheel drive is available on all trim levels and is included with the Z71. Two other engines are also available. If you want nine-passenger seating, you'll be limited to the LS trim, where it is optional.

Available on the RST, Z71 and Premier and standard on the High Country is a 6.2-liter V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft). There's also an optional turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder diesel engine (277 hp, 460 lb-ft). Chevy offers the diesel on every Tahoe trim except the Z71. All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Which Tahoe trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest stepping up to the LT trim. It doesn't cost much more than the base LS and you get quite a bit more convenience and technology features. These include a power hands-free liftgate, heated front seats, upgraded audio, a digital instrument panel and a larger infotainment touchscreen. The available Luxury package is also a worthy addition.
