2016 Chevy Tahoe changes
The body of the brand-new Chevy Tahoe 2016 will be made out of aluminum and steel. The company decided for these materials to get a solid and strong basis, but at the same time to reduce the overall weight of the car. As you already know, this will have a rather positive impact on fuel consumption as well. We can expect the car to get a new grille, new rear spoiler and new lamps. The vehicle boasts a dynamic line which makes it different from the vehicle it replaces.

Since the company hasn’t confirmed anything about possible specifications, we offer you some details but you will have to wait for the company to confirm these details to be sure that these are the exact engine options for the new Chevy Tahoe 2016. We assume that the new engine for the upcoming model will be a 5.3-liter V8 power unit. There are no plans for diesel and hybrid models. This engine enables you to get the maximum power of 355 horsepower and 416 lb-ft of torque. The power unit is paired with 6-speed automatic gearbox.
