The TAHOE, the first vehicle The Durant Guild has brought to China, shares its lineage with the Chevrolet SUBURBAN CARRYALL and has sold nearly 3.5 million units worldwide since its launch 30 years ago. The TAHOE is a leader in the full-sized SUV segment in the U.S. market.

The TAHOE features Chevrolet’s signature rugged and boxy design. It measures 5,382mm in length, 2,058mm in width, and 1,940mm in height, with a 3,071mm wheelbase. The vehicle offers seven exterior color options in the Chinese market.

Inside, the TAHOE boasts a tri-screen layout, with a 17.7-inch central touchscreen, an 11-inch digital instrument panel, and a 15-inch HUD (head-up display). The cabin is arranged in a 2+2+3 seating configuration, providing ample space. The vehicle also features a large central console and over 722 liters of cargo space, expandable to 3,480 liters with the rear seats folded.

Powering the TAHOE is GM’s TurboMax 2.7T variable-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum output of 223kW and 500Nm of torque. The vehicle’s non-load-bearing body, intelligent part-time four-wheel-drive system, and adaptive air suspension enable it to handle diverse road conditions.

The TAHOE is equipped with advanced features such as the Super Cruise driver assistance system, over 20 intelligent driving aids, and Chevrolet's new VCS intelligent cockpit system, which supports Baidu voice control, Apple CarPlay wireless connectivity, and remote control.

For safety, the vehicle’s frame incorporates 77% high-strength steel, complemented by over 20 active and passive safety features, including full-speed AEB and enhanced pedestrian collision warning.
