Is the NEW 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier WORTH the PRICE?

[Music] hey guys what's up it's joe rady from ladies rides i'm back here at dimmitt chevrolet in clearwater florida and guess what very special day for a very special vehicle this is a 2021 total redesign chevrolet tahoe but before we dive into this premiere let's talk a little bit about what the tahoe represents for chevy this is their full-size three-row suv for a long time many people have been hoping for a redesign and guess what chevy made it happen for 2021. one of the biggest changes besides the reshaped outside wrapper is underneath the rear end of the vehicle you have for the first time on it on a chevy tahoe you're looking at a full independent rear suspension that's going to allow a better driving tahoe but also more room for those third seat passengers now overall the tahoe has grown in size a little bit but that means also on the interior there's much more room so let's go ahead dive into this 2021 chevrolet tahoe premier trim and see really is it the ultimate when it comes to full-size three-row suvs right off the bat i love the new styling they really brought it up to par with 21st century but also kind of match the styling of the silverado which is obviously chevy's pickup truck up front i'm liking the aggressive style it's not too transformer it's got a little bit of that silverado look but not as aggressive you have your beautiful led headlights there led daytime running lamp large massive functional air curtains they flow the air but they also look really great from the front end as we come across the grill lots of beautiful chrome finish all horizontal i like the way they segmented the top portion and this lower portion and you have that iconic bow tie the chevrolet bow tie forward facing camera as we drop down you do have some fake vent down here so i am going to zonk that but the chrome trim balances out nicely now if you're wondering this is a premiere there is a trim higher known as the high country which i'm sure there'd be a little bit of extra changes to the front but we'll be bringing you that so don't you worry but nice new aggressive look when we get up onto the hood i love the way the hook kind of just folds down to meet the top of the grill you have this beautiful c-shaped indentation with a raised center area really shows a lot of personality to the front and i think that they hit the nail on the head especially with those led daytime running lamps that give it a great look that's going to catch people's attention now as we come around the bend here's what we're working with wheel and tire setup on this premiere so it's a 20-inch wheel hand polished aluminum wheel love the design super clean with this metallic gray you're looking at a 275 on a width and a very very meaty 50 series sidewall plenty of room between the top of the tire inside the fender i even like the way they blended the side marker light very clean into that overall design going down the side you have chrome on the tops of the mirror caps here some led lighting some gloss black tahoe badge thank god they did not put the badge up here like on the silverado i'm glad they just let it be looks great a little bit of chrome with some painted matching door handles i like the nice stationary running boards with a little bit of chrome trim up top you're going to have these brushed aluminum roof rails shark fin antenna kind of weird where they put it but at least it's not one of those big long rubber ones as we keep working our way back i like the way they have the gloss flare it out the rear of the trim because you have chrome trim it's sort of like a hockey stick looks great though especially that flared out part as we work towards the rear you got your independent rear suspension underneath all that sheet metal good size to the corner window and what i like is they took the black trim all the way back to almost give it a floating roof design at the back very clean coming into that nice gloss black aerodynamic piece and then coming out back look at this i'm loving it no rear wiper it's all integrated she's tucked up in there when you're ready to have things be a little bit more clear swing on down nice low roof spoiler we got the chevy badge and i like the way they integrate it nicely into the trim tahoe another great name placement premiere badge and then as we work our way down probably my favorite thing at the tail end of the business is that exhaust quad tip two tips on both sides staggered to really let that v8 engine make a nice purr and then of course you're gonna have the cover here for all your towing hookup capability with this tahoe but when we pop the hood and see what's powering this premiere all right guys we got the hood popped underneath the hood you're going to have the hydraulic hood struts three different engine choices now on our tahoe premiere you're looking at that 5.3 liter v8 engine 355 horsepower 383 pound-feet of torque you can go with the 6.2 and remember there's also that three liter inline-six turbocharged diesel option which is the first time it's available on the tahoe all of them including this one is mated to that slick shifting 10-speed automatic transmission the tahoe weighs around 5827 pounds zero to 60 in about 7.9 seconds mpgs you're looking at around 17 in the city 20 on the highway it's nice to have the engine choices especially if you're looking for torque if you go with that three liter inline six turbocharged engine it actually puts out the same amount of torque as the 6.2 liter but why don't we go ahead let's fire up this 5.3 and hear what it sounds like [Music] all right guys we're inside the 2021 chevrolet tahoe this one that premiere trim this is where things get really good you thought the outside was good this is where things are really going to blow your mind now if you're saying yourself joe i've been waiting for this tahoe ever since i visited lake tahoe many years ago how much is this particular one you're looking around 63 895 at the msrp let's see what you get for the money to the door panels look at the stitching up top look at the wood trim they really took the the interior level to a new finish and i love it the contrast stitching that wood trim very very tasteful nice soft material on the armrest more that stitching this one has the bose optional sound system and i love that nice brushed aluminum trim on the speaker cover two door pockets so you could have your heath bar you could have your crunch bar up top and that lower one you could put a couple cold cut trios and a nice big old bottle of coca-cola to wash it down as we come to the dash i'm loving the style look at this the perforated material the wood is really classy stitch work is great here is all new so every single tahoe gets a 10 inch screen so it's like when oprah winfrey gave away cars to everybody chevrolet says everybody who gets a tahoe gets a 10 inch infotainment system screen apple carplay android auto you can see the nice navigation setup that you have very fast reacting this is 21st century it's nice to see it is an ipad style but you know what it's super clear very fast reacting let me go ahead and throw this into reverse to show off the backup camera very very clear fills up a large area of that ipad style screen with the trajectory which is great i'll put it back in the park and then that's eventually going to bring us back to our home screen easy to use very simple you got the wi-fi hotspot this does have that push-pull automatic transmission control for the 10 speed so what that means is pull to go into drive push to go into neutral pull to go into reverse push to go into park that way there's no accidents that happen love the way the material comes all the way over you got your start stop button all the way behind the wheel here's something interesting because the controls are here they give you the nice wood trim like this you get a little fun door so you get a little little trap door that i could open and well and it closes you could put think about what you could put in there i don't know but you could put something really fancy it's felt lined you're not going to scratch it so if you have some pure silver butter knives drop them in there they're not going to get scratched i promise and then look nice super clean we dropped down you got your radio controls only one fake button ac controls dual climate and then look at this ventilated seats and heated seats you have deep down inside here a 12 volt usb and a usbc wireless charging my only zonk is what am i missing a lid but if you look on the sides here i like the brushed aluminum i love this trim and then you got these nice little twinkie pockets on the side so they know that you guys love twinkies they're trying to take care of you two cup key fob just like the new corvette the c8 corvette it's got the chevy badge a little bit of chrome and then of course you're going to get remote start all that good stuff good size nice weight to it put it back in the cup holder soft material on the armrest open this up party tray time you get your little thin stick pretzels maybe some almonds over here maybe some macadamia nuts put some macadamia nuts in your mouth and then you have a large area where no kidding you could drop three boxes of twinkies in there and you have a usb and a usbc and it puts all it goes all back nice together seats the piping makes it look classy the perforated center the stitch work is great they're actually really comfortable and i like the controls for both the passenger and the driver tons of headroom this one does not have a sunroof though but why don't you come over the business end i want to show you behind the wheel of this all new tahoe all right guys business time you got the chevrolet badge there to remind you that you took your chevy down to the levee and the levee was dry but guess what these seats are great lots of electric control tons of headroom like i said steering wheel same chevy steering wheel i wish they would have done something a little bit different on the horn button but i do like that nice dark metallic gray finish real simple on the thumbwheel drive controls and then the dash is exactly the same setup the good news is is that it's super clean i like the tft display you got all your gauges across the top we're rocking out to some pat benatar yes love is a battlefield you better believe it you have an analog tag analog speedometer overall very nice and you can see as victor pulls away from pat benatar that you have the stitch work very nicely even on top there but while we go ahead we talked about the front let's get to the mid-row and see how your passengers are going to like this tahoe all right guys mid-road time in the tahoe guess what the people you drive around are going to treat you like a king because you got plenty of headroom back here for them ac vents are conveniently placed in the ceiling backs of the seats leather all the way around you do have a nice large pocket put a bunch of slim jims put a banana put whatever you want back there well almost whatever you want but it's a great size two cup holders you have your ac controls heated seats but no ventilated seats that's going to be a zonk but you do have two usbs and voila a home power source me sitting back here i mean i feel good i really really do the captain's chairs have a pretty good sized armrest and then of course it's very easy to slide this is fun and then oh i almost forgot i know victor likes it when i close the door so that we're more private of course when you're when you're about to do what i'm about to do you want some privacy so you just get your mind out of the gutter but anyways seats work really really well you get a nice passage here overall great i just wish there were some ventilated seats for the mid-row but why don't we try out that back row and see how the independent suspension makes it more of a joyful task all right guys the awesome part is now getting into the back it's actually something that at six feet tall i don't mind doing and it's real simple there's actually a toggle switch in here i'm gonna push it we're going to push it again and then that's what's going to allow the seat to kind of just totally move out of the way the only challenge is people are going to have to watch out for the track system but that's not a big deal and you do have a running bar board to get a nice running start into the back seat so here we go put up the headrest here for you look at this look at this living large and in charge like i was saying six feet tall here i'll put my legs here you can see how much room you have and you got the pass-through so i could just be like when are we gonna get there when are we gonna get there when are we gonna are we almost there are we almost there but i could be comfortable doing that which is great ac vents back here for me and then finally usbc's two usbcs and you have a cup holder and a skittles holder so nice to have all that flexibility but while we go ahead let's check out the cargo area and see how much room we have in this new tahoe all right guys tail end of the business now what's great about the tahoe is that you could actually push this button and just open up the rear glass i like that throw the grocery groceries in and get the heck out of that busy shopping parking lot close it back down to open it up real simple we're gonna hit here you have that nice electric assist not too slow not too fast and then there we have the room with the seats up now if you want some numbers you're basically looking at seats up 25.5 cubic feet of space fold those seats down 72 cubic feet of space fold the mid-road down you're looking at almost 123 cubic feet of space if we look under here you have some simple storage you can line up all your snacks snickers three musketeers twinkies and then to put the seats down it's actually very very simple so we're gonna go ahead and push look at that nice excellent and then now we're gonna go for the crescendo boom almost uh almost that front seat was a little too far back but guess what look at that but if you're ready i'm ready you can see how much room we have here let's go to costco and see if we can get a 90 inch tv and 12 big huge bottles or buckets of mayonnaise let's go do it all right guys we're in the 2021 chevrolet tahoe premier trim right away pulling out of dimmit chevrolet really feels good in here the seats are great i like the placement of the infotainment system and it's nice to know that everybody finally gets 10 inches that's gonna make a lot of people both guys and girls very very happy behind the wheel this tahoe the controls are simple to understand everything is laid out very very well and immediately i feel the difference with the independent rear suspension it drives really smooth and definitely over ripped up payment that's where it's really going to show its strengths over the over the solid rear axle the gauges even though they're the same as last year are very very well laid out and i think that you're gonna eventually get used to the push pull transmission not my favorite style but i definitely like it better than the column shift or a center console shift because it just cleans up this whole area so well and if you're worried about the ipad style screen sticking up too high don't it's less than half of the actual height of the screen that is exposed so don't worry about that visibility out the back is great of course you're gonna have your lane keep assist your blind spot monitoring all that and adaptive cruise control is an option on the new tahoe side mirrors are a great size and i'm telling you right now i don't feel like i'm in a tahoe i really feel like i'm in a higher level vehicle especially with all the fine touches that they did it's crazy how some nice leather some contrast stitching and some piping really changes the whole feeling inside this new tahoe your passengers are going to be so happy that you bought this vehicle especially the mid row and that third row the only zonk really is is that mid row is not ventilated and that to me is a huge disappointment getting out of the highway on throttle easy to merge that 5.3 liter v8 pumping out 355 horsepower is plenty the great news if you want more horsepower chevrolet will satisfy that appetite for horsepower by offering you a 6.2 liter v8 engine 420 horsepower and if you really are focused on the towing you could always go with that three liter inline six turbo diesel engine but driving down the road look how smooth this is very comfortable seats are great going over the overpass with the transitions in the road and whatnot super smooth and very quiet they did increase the amount of sound ending and the thickness of glass in the 2021 tahoe and the great news is it does not feel as large of a vehicle as you think that makes it easy to drive easy to navigate all right guys we're gonna make a u-turn underneath this overpass this will give us a little bit better feel of what the steering is all about and that rear suspension look at this piece of cake nice weight to the steering and like i said when it's time to get on the highway that 5.3 liter v8 got has that perfect naturally aspirated sound good linear power delivery and that 10 speed shifts like a hot knife through butter really really clean overall setup very nice sensation behind the wheel good feedback coming to the steering wheel it's just a little a few little nitpick things like i i want a lid over where the wireless charging is i want ventilated seats for the mid-road passengers there just a couple things here and there but overall they have knocked it out of the park with this new tahoe so hopefully this gives you a good overview we're going to get back to dimmit chevrolet and wrap this up so i'll see you in a split second all right guys it's been another wonderful day here at dimmitt chevrolet i definitely gotta thank rajeel and the rest of the crew getting us access to
