2017 Chevy Tahoe specs, price, and release da
2017 Chevy Tahoe
A redesigned Tahoe has
recently been shown to the public, the new for 2017 model has had more than a
restyling job though, with the engineers at Chevy incorporating lots of new
technology and equipment. This SUV has been completely reworked.

The vehicle is fitted
with lots of electronic safety equipment, the purpose of which is to monitor
the driving conditions and help avoid collisions; blind-spot warnings, speed
monitoring and lane guidance.
If the system
recognizes any breach in the safety (something approaching in the blind-spot
for example), the driver’s seat starts to vibrate, giving a good indication.
The whole system works very well, even more so when you consider that the
vehicle is more agile after being put on a weight loss program.
The cabin has had a
general upgrade also; the materials used seem to be of higher quality and even
the base model comes additional airbags, improved noise reduction and passenger
entertainment systems.
The vehicle has a 5.3
liter power plant fitted, giving quite an impressive 0 – 60 MPH of around 9
seconds, thanks to 355 BHP and 383 lb / ft of torque. What is even more
impressive is that the vehicle complies with all EcoTec 3 regulations and
standards.
Ride quality is
excellent and the whole vehicle gives a great driving experience.

Exterior
The new Tahoe really
could be considered to be ‘All American’. The vehicle is huge, with a brutal
and menacing look; the epitome of power.
Although Chevrolet have
kept changing the overall look of these models for the last four generations,
they seem to have got it just right with this model.
There have been some
quite big changes to the appearance, not least of all, at the front; you’ll
find twin headlights, divided horizontally, and they work beautifully with the
restyled grille, which has followed the same styling and been split
horizontally. It is the grille that really marks the difference between this
and the previous model.
Interior
At first glance, the
interior is the same as the outgoing model, but when you start looking closely,
you’ll see quite a few changes; the center console is different and it’s been
fitted with the next generation media systems with an 8” touchscreen, which
makes it much easier to select music or even make a call. Sound quality is
great.
Plus you’ll find every
type of socket for connectivity within the cabin, whether that is a phone,
laptop or tablet and of course, power points; there are twelve in total, some
of them delivering full 110V.

Release date and price
It seems the norm now for
the latest 2017 models to be released in the last quarter of the preceding
year, we expect to see the Tahoe arrive in the dealerships late in 2016.
Prices are expected to
remain as they were, this means that the base model should start around the
$49,000 mark.
