Chevrolet is known for many things, it’s a reputable American car company that makes trucks, cars, and SUVs. But it might be that last category that people really associate with Chevy and in particular large SUVs. That is why two of the most popular 3 row large SUVs on the market today are the Chevy Tahoe and the Chevy Suburban. With the release of the new and improved 2021 Tahoe and Suburban, we definitely have a lot to look forward to. What is the difference between the new 2021 Tahoe and Suburban? Aren’t they similar? What makes them different? Well, let’s take a look at more detail so we can better understand how similar (or not) are the new Tahoe and Suburban.
What is the same?
Before we dive into the differences between the 2 largest Chevy SUVs, it is shorter and easy to discuss the similarities between the two.
- First, they both are large family SUVs with three rows and a seating capacity of 8 people.
- The engine options for both models are the same, they have 3 choices:
- 5.3 liter V8 355 HP
- 6.2 Liter V8 420 Hp
- Duramax Turbo-Diesel 3.0 liter 277 HP
- Each of the 3 options gets an estimated mile per gallon that is more or less the same, about 15 mpg in the city, and about 20 mpg on the highway.
- They both come standard as Rear Wheel Drive but can be upgraded to 4-Wheel Drive.
- They both come with the top of the line Chevy driver assistance software that includes features like:
- Front Collision Alert
- Automatic E Breaking
- Also, the Suburban and Tahoe both have the same trim classifications, LS (the entry-level), LT, RST, Premier, High Country (top of the line)
This is to say that a lot of the performance-related aspects of both vehicles are similar, you won’t find huge differences in acceleration, braking distance, MPG, or other standard indicators.
So then what are the differences?
The simplest way to break down the differences between the new 2021 models of the Chevy Suburban and Tahoe, is the size.
Especially after the redesign and extension for the 2021 Suburban, the Suburban wins the prize for the largest Chevy SUV. The Suburban is slightly longer than the Tahoe, which can make a big difference in the comfort level, especially in the third row where the knee room can be limited.
2021 Chevy Suburban:
The 2021 Suburban has about:
- 38.2 inches behind the third row
- 72.7 inches behind the second row
- 105.4 inches behind the first row
With about 144.7 cubic feet of cargo space when the 2nd and 3rd rows are folded down and the width of the 2021 Suburban frame is just over 81 inches.
The max towing capability of the Suburban is about 8,100 pounds.
2021 Chevy Tahoe:
- 25.4 inches behind the third row
- 57.2 inches behind the second row
- 90.4 inches behind the first row
With about 122.9 cubic feet of cargo space when the 2nd and 3rd rows are folded down and the width of the 2021 Tahoe frame is the same at just over 81 inches.
While the max towing of the Tahoe wins with about 8,400 pounds.
No matter which family SUV you choose to lease in Westchester County, attention should be paid to the small difference so you can find the perfect vehicle for you and your family. Questions to consider asking yourself are how often will you use that third row, how much cargo space do you need, and how much do you need to tow.
