2025 Chevy Tahoe SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe is a three-row full-size SUV that seats eight passengers in most trim levels. (A nine-seat configuration is optional on the LS, and some trims have a seven-seat layout.) 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.
Which Tahoe trim does Edmunds recommend?
Chevy added several safety features to the base LS trim for 2025 that were previously only available on upper trims. Those include adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera. If you're buying the Tahoe as a pure people-hauling utility vehicle, we think the base LS trim with its massive list of standard features gets the job done just fine. It's also the only trim available with nine-passenger seating. If you want a few more goodies, however, the next-level LT offers a few quality-of-life improvements in addition to opening the door to a number of noteworthy option packages.
