Chevrolet Tahoe: Robust Performance And Refined Design

 
 
 
     
 

Muscat, Oman Chevrolet Tahoe reins the streets with its power, style and towering capability.  It remains a benchmark in the full-size SUV segment, offering great spaciousness and towing capability, along with a precise driving feel, robust performance and excellent interior refinement.

Due to its prestige and ability to fully satisfy the driver on all levels, from aesthetics, to comfort and power, this vehicle is a perfect fit for the Middle East market.

Tahoe’s features include Vortec 5.3L V8 SFI FlexFuel engine with Active Fuel Management, standard on all models. Durable Off-Road tires, the addition of seat mounted airbags side-impact, trailering package including an integrated trailer brake controller, 20-inch chrome-clad wheels in LTZ, and both the LT and LTZ boast a new audio system with Navigation.

 Tahoe features the global face of Chevrolet, with a large Chevrolet gold bowtie, centered on a twin-port horizontal grille. The body-color grille surround is inset with an argent texture or chrome finish. Fog lamps and headlamps feature detailed optics. The lower fascia, incorporating the front license plate holder and integrated recovery hooks, is aggressively styled with a skid plate look that enhances Tahoe’s rugged, off-road appearance.

An assortment of 17-inch, 18-inch and 20-inch wheels complements Tahoe’s sporty appearance. 17-inch wheels and tires are standard on LS and LT, with 18-inch wheels included with the Z71 package and 20-inch wheels available on LT and LTZ. The larger wheels give the vehicle a more confident stance.

Tahoe LTZ also offers power articulated running boards. They blend smoothly with the vehicle’s design, but automatically move downward and outward when the doors are opened, providing a lower step-in height.

The popular Z71 Off-Road appearance package includes the Z71 Off-Road jounce bumpers, specially-tuned springs and gas-charged monotube shocks, 18-inch tires, heavy-duty-locking rear differential, front and rear wheel flares , and a durable skid plate package. Inside, a brushed metal-look replaces wood grain accents for a more rugged appearance.

All Tahoe models are well equipped with enhanced safety, comfort and convenience features. Refinement throughout the spacious interior creates an environment that exudes quality and precision, as well as comfort. A two-tone color scheme offers softer and low-gloss materials for the instrument panel and other trim pieces.

Additional details include: LED backlighting for the instruments and chrome accents on instruments and vents. Flush-mounted accessories and controls, such as the climate control/radio center stack, create a seamless, “single unit” appearance. Also, there are almost no exposed metal hardware or latches, as all models feature enclosing “close-outs” around the seat bottoms and door sill trim plates.

Tahoe’s features include: Power-release fold-and-tumble second-row seat on LT and LTZ, Remote vehicle starting system, Driver information center, Tri-zone automatic climate control, First- and second-row heated seats, Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist, Rearview camera system, DVD rear-seat entertainment system with 8-inch screen.

All Chevrolet Tahoe models are built on GM’s full-size SUV platform that incorporates features such as a fully boxed frame, coil-over-shock front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and a premium interior that bolsters the vehicle’s comfort, quality and capability. Wide front and rear tracks enhance handling and lower the center of gravity for a more confident road feel.

Tahoe features a stiff, fully boxed frame, which reduces vibrations transmitted to the passenger cabin. The strength and accuracy of the frame also enable more precise mounting and tuning of chassis and suspension components, which also help reduce vibration. Even the tires on the large, 17-inch standard and 20-inch available wheels were designed to reduce noise.

Tahoe’s quietness and smoothness are complemented by the Autoride suspension system, which is standard on LTZ. This segment-exclusive bi-state, real-time damping system provides an extremely refined ride with greatly reduced body motion. The system consists of a semi-active, two-position damping control system that responds in real time to road and driving conditions, based on body and wheel motion sensors.

The Tahoe features a 360-degree perimeter safety system of occupant protection and crash avoidance technologies. Standard features include head curtain side air bags with rollover protection for all seating rows and front-seat safety belt pretensioners that are linked to the vehicle's sensing system to provide segment-exclusive deployment in rear-end crashes.

The roof-mounted head curtain air bags include design features that provide increased rollover protection and occupant containment. These head curtain side air bags stay inflated longer than air bags developed only for side impacts, since rollover incidents can last longer. The deployment duration and other design features of the air bags combine to provide increased occupant protection and the ability to help keep occupants inside the vehicle. Sensors located at the front of the vehicle, in the side doors and within the occupant compartment provide increased and more immediate crash detection.

Additional safety and security features include: Standard StabiliTrak stability control system with Proactive Roll Avoidance Standard dual-stage driver front air bag, Standard dual-stage outboard-front passenger air bag with Passenger Sensing System, Standard front seat safety belt pretensioners with rear-impact deployment capability, Standard tire pressure monitoring system, Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist with rearview LED display and audible warning, rearview camera system designed to provide the driver with a view of people or objects in the rearward path of the vehicle, Standard pull-up/push-down power window switches.
