“The visibility and mirrors are a definite problem on this new Tahoe. The old one was great. The new one has blind spots and smaller windows. Very disappointed. Already added aftermarket towing mirrors.”
2019 Chevrolet Tahoe: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe is largely a carryover, with no redesign or broad mechanical, styling, safety, or infotainment updates. The main change is that navigation on the LT moved from standard equipment to an option.
About the 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe
4th generation (2015-2020), second-to-last model year; no mid-cycle refresh for 2019
Chevrolet positions the Tahoe as a full-size, three-row SUV for families and drivers who need substantial passenger space, V8 towing strength, and everyday comfort in one vehicle. Its defining traits are seating for up to nine in certain configurations, folding rear seats, a strong truck-based trailering setup, and an interior designed for long trips. It competes through capability, space, and familiar Chevrolet controls rather than car-like compactness or fuel economy.
The 2019 Tahoe ranges from the work-oriented Commercial model and practical LS to the family-focused LT and more luxurious Premier. The LS has a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the LT adds heated leather-appointed front seats and driver-assistance features. The Premier stands out with an adaptive suspension, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, navigation, and a hands-free liftgate.

2019 Chevrolet Tahoe
(107 reviews)
“Quality for price is not what it should be. Road noise is worse on my 2019 than it was on my 2016. Feels like a cheaper version.”
“I absolutely love my Chevy Tahoe! It's everything I've ever wanted in a vehicle. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner.”
