The 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban are effectively holdover models since Chevrolet announced the 2025 model 12 months versions of its three-row money-printers a month ago. What’s ahead for 2025? Buyers will find latest front fasciae on every trim from the entry-level LS to the top-tier High Country, paired with thinner daytime running lights. Behind those grilles, the 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 are unchanged, however the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel’s been updated with the identical improvements as GM made for its full-size pickup lineup recently. Meaning 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque, improvements of 28 hp and 35 lb-ft., but buyers have to know that the spiffed-up oil-burner won’t be available at launch.
Sticking with the surface, GM updated the independent rear suspension for more refined dynamics, attempting to get the SUVs to “feel much nimbler than their full-size dimensions suggest.” Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control shocks return unchanged, and the superior suspensions grow to be an option on the RST trim, not only the High Country and Z71. The underbody upgrades will probably be tuned to work mammoth wheels, Chevy letting folks spec 24-inch wheels for the primary time on the Tahoe and Suburban RST and High Country trims.
Much more happening inside. Recent dash designs put the instrument panel lower for a more airy feeling, behind a brand new steering wheel with a column shifter. The 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system dominates the middle stack, but GM still found space to retain physical buttons and knobs for many climate controls, integrating a physical volume knob into the screen. Each the massive infotainment display and 11-inch digital instrument cluster will probably be standard on all trims, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well. The High Country features real wood trim for the primary time, and latest trim materials comparable to “Galvano chrome” are used across the lineup. There’s so much more tech, too, from Super Cruise to web-connected cameras allowing owners to remotely view and record inside and outdoors the vehicle for crash and security purposes.
None of that is coming until late 2024 on the earliest, though. What do buyers get until then, on the 2024 models? First, fewer paint options since Auburn Metallic is not any longer available. Second, price increases, MSRPs up $2000 on all trims but one, destination up $100 to $1,995, making a $2,100 total jump. The odd trim out is the High Country with the 6.2-liter engine. Every other trim comes with GM’s 5.3-liter V8 standard, the three.0-liter diesel and 6.2-liter V8 as options. The High Country starts with the diesel and makes the 6.2 an option. On every other trim, the 6.2-liter gets the identical $2,100 bump. On the High Country, the diesel costs $2,100 more however the 6.2-liter is $2,600 more for 2024 than in 2023.
Pricing below pays for two-wheel drive except on the Z71 that is four-wheel-drive only. Getting four-wheel-drive on the remaining of the range adds $3,000 to the value. With all that out of the way in which, the figures for 2024 are:
Tahoe
- LS: $58,195
- LT: $63,695
- Z71 (4WD only): $68,295
- RST: $66,295
- Premier: $71,595
- High Country: $77,395
Suburban
- LS: $61,195
- LT: $66,695
- RST: $69,295
- Z71 (4WD only): $71,295
- Premier: $74,595
- High Country: $80,395
There are still 2023 models in dealer stock for buyers not attempting to pay more for a similar box of products. We suspect anyone holding out for the 2025 will need to stack some funds. It’s possible the $2,100 increase is about taking the sting out of a stiff price jump a 12 months from now.
