What are the 2026 Tahoe Changes and Pricing?
Since the 2025 model year saw major changes, we expect few, if any, for 2026.
Trim levels and prices for the Tahoe are:
- LS: $62,995
- LT: $65,995
- RST: $70,995
- Z71: $72,995
- Premier: $77,895

Powertrain Options for the 2026 Tahoe
Most Tahoes will feature one of two V8 engines: a 355-horsepower 5.3-liter or a 420-horsepower 6.2-liter. Both pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and while rear-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is available. There’s also a diesel option—a 3.0-liter inline-six delivering 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque. The diesel pairs with the same 10-speed automatic and is available across all trims.
The Z71 trim leans into off-road use with its own hardware: a two-speed transfer case, skid plates, 20-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, and extra underbody protection.
One of the Tahoe’s strengths is towing. Properly configured with rear-wheel drive and the 5.3-liter V8, it can pull up to 8,400 pounds. That number dips only slightly depending on engine choice—8,300 pounds with the 6.2-liter V8 and 8,200 pounds with the diesel. That’s plenty of capacity for boats, trailers, or campers, putting the Tahoe close to pickup-truck levels of capability.
Fuel Economy Expectations for the 2026 Tahoe
EPA numbers for the 2026 Tahoe aren’t out yet, but they’re likely to be similar to 2025’s ratings. Diesel models were the most efficient, coming in at 22 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. Gas V8 models landed closer to 15 mpg city, 20 mpg highway, and 17 mpg combined.
The Tahoe's Cabin Features, Modern Tech, and Optimal Comfort
The Tahoe feels as big as it looks. Three rows are standard, and the second row slides to make the third row genuinely usable for adults. Up front, storage is everywhere—a wide center console, cupholders, and a large bin under the armrest, big enough for a purse or small backpack.
Every Tahoe comes with a massive 17.7-inch infotainment display, angled toward the driver for easy reach. The system includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a wireless phone charger. Drivers also get an 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster for customizable information. For those who want more, a Bose audio system and dual rear-seat entertainment screens are available.
