What's new for the 2027 Chevy Tahoe?

For 2027, the Tahoe rolls out new appearance options and an updated list of features. There's a new paint color, White Sands, available for the sporty RST and Z71 trims. And a new Dark Essentials appearance pack adds blacked-out exterior details to the luxurious Premier and High Country trims.

Car and Driver also reports that the RST trim gets newly standard heated and ventilated front seats. Plus, Edmunds says that Chevy's hands-free Super Cruise driving system is now available for the diesel-equipped Tahoe High Country.

What's included in the new Dark Essentials appearance package?

Fitted with the new Dark Essentials appearance package, the upscale Premier and High Country trims look extra svelte with 24-inch Black wheels, Black mirror caps, and Black nameplates.

Which features have been shuffled around the lineup?

Some 2027 Tahoe packages have gained features and some have lost features. Some packages have been bundled or un-bundled with other packages. And some packages are no longer available for select trim models.

For example, the Rear Seat Media package drops two Bluetooth headphones and is no longer bundled with the Z71 Off-Road package. Meanwhile, the Sun and Tow package gains a trailering camera and is now bundled with the Max Trailering package on both the Premier and High Country. The Technology and Entertainment package, previously available for the second-most-luxurious Premier trim, is now only available for the top-tier High Country.

Which Tahoe features have been discontinued for 2027?

The 2027 Tahoe nixes a few appearance options. The paint color Cypress Gray has been discontinued. Bright-aluminum-and-chrome center wheel caps are no longer available. And the Tahoe's black side assist steps lose a chrome accent strip.

Will the 2027 Chevy Tahoe have a new engine?

No, the Tahoe's three engine options haven't changed for 2027: choose from a 5.3-liter V8 (355 horsepower, 383 lb-ft of torque), 6.2-liter V8 (420 hp, 460 lb-ft), and 3.0-liter diesel inline-six (305 hp, 495 lb-ft). Expect a comfortable ride from any of these options! As Edmunds notes, "Whichever engine you choose, the 10-speed automatic is well tuned and shifts quickly and smoothly."

The base 5.3-liter V8 is standard for the LS, LT, RST, Z71, and Premier trims. The top-of-the-line High Country comes standard with the powerful 6.2-liter V8, which is also optional for the RST, Z71, and Premier trims. And finally, the diesel engine is available for all but the base Tahoe LS.

Reviewers over at Car and Driver also point out the upcoming Tahoe's "credible off-road chops." Rugged four-wheel drive is standard on both the trail-ready Z71 and ultra-luxurious High Country, and it's optional for every other Tahoe trim. The upcoming SUV also stands to be a favorite among boat-toting families. Properly equipped, this SUV can tow up to 8,400 pounds.
