The redesigned Tahoe features a sharper exterior, a more refined interior and more power under the hood. The 2007 Tahoe is more aerodynamic than its predecessor, with sleeker lines and a more steeply angled windshield that helps reduce wind drag. But while this newest Tahoe's design is completely contemporary, its body has all the brawn that Chevy drivers have come to expect. Built on GM's new full-size underpinning platform, the ´07 Tahoe boasts a tough steel frame that adds stiffness and subtracts unwanted body vibrations. Plus, with precise rack-and-pinion steering and larger tires than on models past, this new Chevy SUV handles wonderfully. Advances in engineering continue ´neath the hood, where you'll find a 5.3-liter V8 engine rated at 320 horsepower; it's designed with a fuel-stingy electronic-displacement system that cuts off four of the cylinders when they're not needed (i.e., during light-throttle cruising). And while SUVs - particularly those as large as the Tahoe - are never going to be the smartest purchase from a miles-per-gallon perspective, this ´07 model guzzles less gas than much of the competition (you'll get 20 mpg on the highway).
Climb inside the new Tahoe and you'll find a luxurious interior that's on par with many premium SUVs. Enjoy Cadillac-esque details at Chevy prices with such optional features as power-release, "fold-and-tumble" second-row seating (which lets you flip seats down for extra storage capacity). You can also take advantage of power-activated running boards, touch-screen navigation (sweet!) and a rear-view camera that'll make sure you won't take out a mailbox on a sleepy Monday morning (yeah, we've done that too). The 2007 Tahoe is sold in three trim levels and in a variety of equipment options, and is available with two- or four-wheel drive. Find out which configuration is best for you - just stop by a GM/Chevy dealer for a test drive.
