The 2018 Tahoe boasts exceptional comfort and refinement for up to nine people to travel in style. It also offers remarkable on- and off-road performance, a feat attributed mainly to its intelligent construction.
To deliver on its hallmark off-road prowess, the 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe retains its body-on-frame construction, adding more aluminium components for lightness. It mixes standard build for toughness and modern touches for refinement, comfort, and poise.
Body-on-frame construction has several benefits. The ladder frame is more resistant to twisting and is better suited to heavy towing duties and hard off-road driving. It also allows for greater wheel travel, giving the Tahoe much better off-road potential.
Thanks to a strengthened frame, the body-on-frame construction is sturdy. The track is more comprehensive to aid stability, while additional noise—and vibration-damping measures make the cabin quieter than ever.
The innovative engineering solutions continue with the available Magnetic Ride Control suspension, which assesses the road surface up to 1000 times a second.
Furthermore, the suspension can instantly alter the damping to ensure the ride is supple over undulating surfaces and poised during cornering manoeuvres.
The result is a full-size SUV that is quiet and refined on the move, without compromising its ability to negotiate corners or tricky terrain.
Chevrolet engineers used state-of-the-art construction techniques to ensure the Tahoe retains its high torsional rigidity.
The main structure, for instance, employs high-tensile steel in strategic spots for strength, paralleled with lightweight aluminium hood and liftgate panels that enhance efficiency through the reduced overall mass.
This hybrid construction enables the 2018 Tahoe to retain the hallmark strength of its frame while cutting ceremony to ensure stable handling and reduced fuel consumption of just 10.3 Km/L – the best in the V8-powered full-size SUV segment.
Equally impressive is the 2018 Tahoe’s ability to handle its owner’s venture off the beaten path. Despite its substantial proportions, Chevrolet’s full-size SUV has a genuine off-road capability, which is further enhanced by the Z71 package available. The Z71 package adds heavy-duty Rancho shocks, skid pads, underbody protection panels, and a Z71-exclusive front fascia for improved approach and departure angle.
Another advantage of the 2018 Tahoe’s sturdy construction is its incredible towing capability. Suitably equipped, it can tow an enormous 3,900 Kg, making it supremely capable for any lifestyle application.
While the Tahoe retains a conventional construction for strength and enhanced off-road performance, it also has some of the most cutting-edge technologies available in its segment.
There are as many as 11 available active safety features that monitor the vehicle’s surroundings and identify potentially dangerous situations.
The system can even intervene to avoid or lessen the severity of a collision if the driver fails to respond in time.
The 2018 Tahoe packs the best modern and conventional engineering to deliver excellent performance on and off-road.
