2022 Chevy Tahoe
Sometimes bigger is better, and this is certainly the case with the 2022 Chevy Tahoe.

The 2022 Tahoe is the second year of the fifth generation of this model and stands as the biggest and best-equipped version of this full-size, three-row SUV.

You Engine Choices
Chevrolet offers three different engine options on the 2022 Chevy Tahoe. The base engine is a 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gas engine. This aluminum engine block and cylinder uses direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, and dynamic fuel management technology to improve engine performance and efficiency. It comes standard on the LS, LT, RST, Premier, and Z71 trims and is capable of producing 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque.
The 2022 Chevy Tahoe also features a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 gas engine that comes standard on the top-of-the-line High Country trim. This engine also has an aluminum block and cylinder heads, with direct fuel injection, dynamic fuel management technology, and variable valve timing. It is capable of producing 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Chevy makes this engine an available option on the RST, Z71, and Premier trims.
Chevy also offers a diesel engine option on the 2022 Tahoe. This is a 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6. This engine is an option on the LS, LT, RST, Premier, and High Country trims. It can produce up to 277 horsepower and an impressive 460 lb-ft of torque.
Every engine on the 2022 Chevy Tahoe comes paired with an electronically controlled 10-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The addition of gear speeds improves engine efficiency, while the traction select system gives you greater control over performance.
Fuel Economy of This Large SUV
Despite its large size, the 2022 Chevy Tahoe provides surprisingly solid fuel economy, especially if you choose the available Turbo-Diesel engine. All three engine options on the Tahoe feature automatic stop/start technology, which will automatically turn the engine off at red lights, saving fuel and reducing engine emissions.
The 5.3-liter V8 with rear-wheel drive will give you 15 miles per gallon in city driving, 20 miles per gallon on the highway, and a combined 17 miles per gallon, while choosing the available 6.2-liter V8 gas engine with rear-wheel drive will provide only a slight drop off at an estimated 14 miles per gallon in the city, 20 miles per gallon on the highway, and 16 miles per gallon combined. Interestingly enough, the 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 gas engines with available four-wheel drive will give you the same fuel economy numbers of 14 miles per gallon in city driving, 19 miles per gallon on the highway, and 16 miles per gallon combined.
If fuel economy is a major factor for you, then you should probably spring for the available 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel. This engine option gives you amazing numbers for a full-size SUV, especially if you opt for standard rear-wheel drive. With the Turbo-Diesel engine and rear-wheel drive, the 2022 Tahoe can give you up to 21 miles per gallon in city driving, 28 miles per gallon on the highway, and a combined 24 miles per gallon. If you opt for available four-wheel drive, the fuel economy will drop only slightly to 20 miles per gallon in city driving, 26 miles per gallon on the highway, and 22 miles per gallon combined.
So, How Does This Full-Size SUV Handle?
Some folks worry about driving a full-size SUV like the 2022 Chevy Tahoe primarily because of its size. They are concerned that they can’t handle a vehicle like this. Well, Chevy understands this, which is why it has equipped the Tahoe with a power steering system that helps the cornering on this SUV despite its 120.9-inch wheelbase. The mechanical limited-slip rear differential on all models of the 2022 Tahoe helps maintain traction through locking both rear wheels to turn in unison and giving you more control in the process.
In general, choosing a 2022 Chevy Tahoe with four-wheel drive will give you better traction, while the rear-wheel drive models provide better acceleration and fuel economy. The Tahoe with four-wheel drive features an Autotrac 2-speed transfer case, allowing the vehicle to shift between rear-wheel and four-wheel drive depending on the driving conditions. Meanwhile, the rear-wheel drive Tahoe will give you exceptional speed and acceleration. For example, the model with the 5.3-liter V8 engine can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 7.5 seconds with a top speed of 115 miles per hour.
The ride on the Tahoe is also very smooth, something your passengers are sure to enjoy. The front suspension features a coil-over-shock design, while the rear is a multi-link suspension system. Some trims offer an available Adaptive Air-Ride Suspension, which will smooth out the ride on your Tahoe through the use of electronically controlled air springs. The Z71 trim features a Premium Smooth Ride suspension that is designed to improve the off-road capabilities of this model.
Capabilities
Many people may not know this, but the 2022 Chevy Tahoe is a champion when it comes to towing trailers and carrying plenty of cargo in its voluminous trunk. While most folks would only think of the Chevy Tahoe as a people mover, it can easily be converted into a cargo vehicle, just through the use of a trailer hitch and folding down the rear two rows of seats. This is what makes the Tahoe the most versatile and capable three-row, full-size SUV available today.
Yes, This SUV Is Great for Towing and Hauling
The 2022 Chevy Tahoe can help you with your trailering needs, whether you are planning to tow equipment for work or a boat or ATV for fun. If you choose the Tahoe with the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine, you can tow up to 8,400 pounds. This drops slightly if you opt for the other available engines. The Tahoe with a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 can tow up to 8,300 pounds while choosing the available 3.0 Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6 will give you the ability to tow up to 8,200 pounds. In general, choosing a rear-wheel drive over four-wheel drive on your 2022 Tahoe will improve your trailering capability.
Each Chevy Tahoe comes with a very large trunk volume that can be easily expanded to accommodate more cargo by simply folding down the rear seats. This allows it to double as a really good transport vehicle when you aren’t using the three rows of seats to carry passengers. The 2022 Tahoe with a 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gas engine can carry up to 1,834 pounds of cargo. If you choose the available 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8, you can still carry 1,671 pounds of cargo. The Tahoe with the 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6 can carry 1,717 pounds of cargo, which is almost as much as the 5.3-liter V8 gas engine model. Still, no matter which engine you choose, you are going to be amazed at this SUV’s capabilities.
Interior
The 2022 Chevy Tahoe is one of the industry leaders in interior space. The designers at Chevrolet have done an exceptional job of apportioning space among the three rows of seats of the Tahoe while making sure to leave space for your stuff.
The Perfect SUV for Passengers
The Tahoe can seat 7 to 8 passengers, depending on your choice of model. Most of the trim levels provide a second-row bench seat that will allow you to carry up to 8 passengers in your Tahoe, while some of the upper trims provide a second-row pair of captain's chairs that caps the seating at 7 passengers.
No matter which configuration you choose, you and your passengers are sure to enjoy the roomy 178 cubic feet of passenger space on your Tahoe. This results in everyone getting plenty of room no matter where they sit in this SUV. For example, if you sit in the first row, you will get 44.5 inches of legroom, while sitting in the second row gives you 42 inches, and the rear row gets 36.7 inches. This will allow everyone to stretch out their legs, even on the longest road trip. Similarly, there is 38.9 inches of headroom in the second row of seats and an equally spacious 38.2 inches in the third row. In this way, you will be happy to avoid folks fighting over the seats in the Tahoe. This will be a major relief for parents considering a 2022 Tahoe as the family vehicle.
The Perfect SUV for Cargo
Far too many three-row SUVs make you have to choose between good passenger space and good cargo space. While some have puny third rows that can barely fit a small child in order to give you some trunk space, others have a decent third row but a trunk that can’t even fit a toothbrush. Fortunately, the 2022 Chevy Tahoe gives you the best of both worlds. The roomy third-row doesn’t eat into the trunk, which has a very sizable 25.5 cubic feet of space for your things. So, it is easy to take your Tahoe on a road trip with 8 passengers and still have room for everyone’s luggage.
The 2022 Tahoe can be easily expanded to make more room for your things. Folding down the third row will give you 72.6 cubic feet of space, while if you fold down the second row, you will get a total of 122.9 cubic feet of cargo space. This is enough room for your largest loads.
