Exterior & Interior Design Differences

---

The Suburban is larger than the Tahoe, but how much larger is it? We’ll compare the dimensions of each SUV’s base trim level below.

Chevy Tahoe vs. Suburban Size Difference

Both of the base trim levels offer the same headroom and nearly the same legroom — third-row passengers in the Suburban will get almost two more inches of legroom than they will in the Tahoe. And when it comes to cargo space, the Suburban scores a major win. Width is the same for both models, and height is nearly the same, but there’s a 15-inch difference when it comes to length — something to keep in mind when it comes to future parking.

Whether you choose the Tahoe or Suburban, you can seat up to eight passengers in all of the trim levels, except for the top two trim levels, which seat up to seven passengers. But if you want even more seats, you can get a total of nine in the LS trim level when you add the available front bench seat.

Either way, both SUVs provide exceptional comfort in the form of available features like leather-appointed seating surfaces, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated driver and front passenger seats, and heated second-row outboard seats. Add an available panoramic power sunroof to enhance your travels even more.

You’ll also get standard tri-zone automatic climate control in either SUV, which makes it easier to keep everyone comfortable. Conveniences like an available power-sliding center console, which can slide back up to 10 inches, lets you fit bulky items between the front seats, making the cabin even more versatile.

Performance, Engine Options & Towing Capability

In terms of performance, these two SUVs have a lot in common. No matter if you choose the Tahoe or the Suburban, you can take your pick from the following three powerful engines:

• Duramax® 3.0L Turbo Diesel: 305 horsepower and 495 lb.-ft. of torque
• 5.3L EcoTec3 V8: 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque
• 6.2L EcoTec3 V8: 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque

A 10-speed automatic transmission comes standard, and both SUVs can tow when properly equipped. Trailering features for both SUVs include an available integrated trailer brake controller, standard trailer sway control, a standard trailering hitch platform, a 2-inch trailering receiver, and a 7-wire electrical harness and 7-pin connector, which allows you to connect the trailer's lights and brakes to the SUV.

Other shared 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe features and 2026 Chevrolet Suburban features include a standard Premium Smooth Ride suspension, available Magnetic Ride Control, and available Adaptive Air Ride suspension — all of which serve to enhance your experience on the road.

Technology & Safety Features

Continuing our Chevy full-size SUV comparison, we want to highlight some of the standout tech and safety features you’ll find in both models.

An 11-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center comes standard, providing important information as you drive. A sleek 17.7-inch diagonal advanced color LCD display with Google built-in compatibility also comes standard and includes navigation capability as well as wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capability, adding more convenience to your driving experience.

If you want to take your listening experience to the next level, you can upgrade from the standard six-speaker audio system to the available Bose CenterPoint® Surround 10-speaker audio system. In addition, an available Rear Seat Media System with dual 12.6-inch diagonal color-touch LCD HD rear screens helps rescue backseat passengers from boredom on long car rides.

Need to charge your phone? Available wireless phone charging makes it simple.

For safety, you can stress less knowing that you’re accompanied by a variety of advanced safety and driver-assistance features. Features that both models have in common include standard Blind Zone Steering Assist and available Blind Zone Steering Assist with Trailering, which are designed to keep you from colliding with a vehicle in a blind spot when you’re switching lanes.

Other standard features both SUVs offer include:

• Forward Collision Alert
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking
• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
• HD Surround Vision
• Rear Pedestrian Alert
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, enhanced
• Side Bicyclist Alert

When it comes to parking, you’ll appreciate Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, which comes standard. This helpful feature can take over and park the SUV for you in parallel or perpendicular spaces, making life a whole lot easier.

Another advanced feature you can get in both models is available Super Cruise®, which lets you enjoy the convenience of hands-free driving on select roads. No matter which SUV you prefer, there’s a lot to look forward to!
