The Chevy Traverse and the Chevy Tahoe both offer three rows of seats but both compete in different classes. For the 2025 model year, the mid-size Traverse goes more upscale by eliminating the entry-level LS and making the LT the new base model. The trim lineup also includes the more premium High Country, the off-road-ready Z71 and the top-echelon RS. Other updates include new 22-inch wheel designs, a Sun and Wheel package, and the now-standard trailering package for the LT.
What's new in the 2025 Tahoe?
There are quite a few changes in the full-size 2025 Chevy Tahoe, like revised exterior and interior styling, a huge, class-leading 17.7-inch infotainment touch-screen display, a more powerful diesel engine, new trailering technology, plus ride and handling improvements. The full-size Tahoe is positioned above the mid-size Traverse and just below the Suburban, Chevy's largest SUV. The Tahoe is available in six trims: the LS, the LT, the sporty RST, Z71, Premier, and the top-tier High Country.
