The Consumer Guide Best Buy Awards honed in this holiday season on informing customers about first-rate vehicles that provide the best driving experience out there while still ranking at the top in value factor. During the time of year when monthly expenses are closely scrutinized as we want our loved ones to have the best holidays possible, being a leading-class bargain is the first objective for a Best Buy Award winner. The 2021 Chevy Tahoe and 2021 Chevy Suburban both received awards this year in the “Large SUV” category.
Making excellent strides in ride quality, all-around refinement, and passenger comfort were the qualities that stood out for both of these heavy-duty holiday haulers, and these T1-based SUVS were praised for how easy they were to drive. Test-driving either one of the two here at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis allows you to fully check out their new redesign, with additions such as independent rear suspension and an available Duramax 3.0-Liter Inline-SIx diesel engine. A ten-inch infotainment screen, available 15-inch head-up display, and available rear-seat entertainment system are other technology features that now enjoy their first appearance.
When equipped with the new Duramax turbo-diesel 3.0-Liter LM2 inline-six engine and Max Trailering Package, the rear-wheel-drive Tahoe now lays the claim to an 8,200-pound towing capacity and a maximum payload of 1,717 pounds. Once inside you'll notice much more interior room, spacious second and third rows, and the high-mounted push-button shifter. The new rear suspension opens up the cargo area and third-row seating, and the Tahoe remains your best choice for a trademark-smooth ride and a familiar platform that instantly makes you feel at home. One of the most practical features Chevy has ever devised fits perfectly on the Tahoe: check out the power-retractable running boards that pop out right when you open the door.
The 2021 Suburban also rings in this season of gift-giving and merriment by being billed as the “most fuel-efficient four-wheel-drive full-size SUV in the market” courtesy of Motor Trend. It handles on the freeway and through corners amazingly well even with the large-sized 22-inch wheels and boasts a towing ability of up to 8,000 pounds with the rear-wheel drive. Getting from 0 to 60 in 8,5 seconds and bursting through the quarter-mile mark in just 16.6 seconds, agility and speed are still strong points while carrying so much mass. With a well-documented and colorful history spanning 85 years, the Suburban lays claim to the longest-running nameplate in existence.
When our valued customers inquire as to what choice is best for them, the value proposition is nearly always at the top of their list. We know that spending an exorbitant amount of money gives you a lavish set of features, but still strive to provide as much minus the hefty cost! We hope that this holiday season is a special and celebrated one for you and yours and that driving away happily covered under Chevy's stellar warranty is how you ring in the New Year.
