On August 20, 2024, General Motors’ luxury import vehicle and lifestyle platform, Daolangge, announced the opening of its first brand center in Shanghai. The Chevrolet Tahoe launched simultaneously. This new model is a full-size SUV with a 2.7T turbocharged engine. Two configurations are available, priced between 648,000 and 728,000 yuan (102010$).
General Motors has created a new business model for the Chinese market. Dalange selects GM’s most iconic models for China. This approach aligns with diverse consumer trends and scenarios. It aims to co-create diverse and personalized experiences with Chinese consumers. Each journey receives an extraordinary touch. The TAHOE is Dalange’s first product in China. This new vehicle carries on a legendary history. It showcases advantages in design, space, all-terrain performance, and smart driving across various scenarios. The TAHOE shares lineage with the Chevrolet SUBURBAN CARRYALL, the “ancestor of SUVs.” It has sold nearly 3.5 million units in 30 years and consistently ranks first in full-size SUV sales in the U.S. market.
The TAHOE adopts Chevrolet’s design style. Its boxy and robust design gives it a strong presence. Other SUVs look dull next to it.
The new car features an exaggerated large grille. It offers two styles based on configuration: a black grille with a black badge and a chrome grille with a traditional badge. One style leans sporty; the other feels luxurious. The car also adopts a split headlight design. C-shaped daytime running lights enhance its fashionable look. Additionally, the new car comes in seven exterior colors: Cosmic Black, Snow Peak White, Distant Mountain Gray, Sunrise Red, Misty Blue, Sky Mirror Blue, and Lake Water Green.
The car’s side profile looks robust. The straight roofline ensures headroom for rear passengers. The dimensions are 5382mm long, 2058mm wide, and 1940mm high. The wheelbase measures 3071mm.
The rear features a rugged design typical of American large SUVs. Strong lines define its appearance. The thick exhaust pipes create a powerful presence. In detail, the taillights use a smoked style. The split design enhances recognition when lit. The roof includes a spoiler, adding a youthful touch.
The new car features a Chevrolet family style. The asymmetrical center console exudes a strong rugged vibe. It includes a 15-inch full-color HUD, an 11-inch full LCD instrument panel, and a 17.7-inch multimedia screen, all keeping up with modern trends. The car retains physical buttons in the air conditioning control area. The gear shift uses a classic design. Leather and wood grain materials enhance the luxurious atmosphere of the interior.
The new car features a customized infotainment system. It uses the 8155 chip. It supports in-car apps, smart voice interaction, remote mobile control, and Apple CarPlay. These features meet current consumer demands for smart configurations.
The new car features the L2+ Super Cruise driver assistance system. It supports automatic emergency braking, lane centering, blind spot monitoring, front and side pedestrian detection, and adaptive cruise control. Additionally, it includes a rear monitoring system. This system detects rear heartbeats and breathing.
Space is TAHOE’s strength. The new car features a 2+2+3 spacious seating layout. It ensures comfort for all three rows of passengers. The large center console and ample storage space reflect American car tradition. In terms of cargo, the trunk offers over 722L when all three rows are in use. This storage capacity rivals that of many large 5-seat SUVs. When the rear seats fold down, it creates a massive 3480L space. It excels for hauling goods or camping as a bed. TAHOE also includes a panoramic sunroof, multifunctional sports seats, tri-zone climate control, and a Bose sound system.
The new car features a 2.7T variable cylinder turbocharged engine. It delivers a maximum power of 223 kW and a peak torque of 500 Nm. The engine pairs with General Motors’ Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic transmission. It includes air suspension and MRC magnetic induction dampers. The intelligent part-time four-wheel drive comes with a rear limited-slip differential.
