Chevy Tahoe vs Wagoneer

If you’re someone who craves power, feeling the thrum beneath your feet as you accelerate is going to be important. Fortunately, both models offer several powertrain options. Standardly, the Tahoe comes with a 5.3L engine, while the Wagoneer operates with a 5.7L one.

However, the real show of power comes with an upgrade. Look at how much power these two models can dig up:

The Tahoe and the Wagoneer have similar outputs, though the Tahoe has a bit more power.

While the Wagoneer maxes out with just two different powertrains, the Chevy Tahoe has a trick up its sleeve: an available 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel engine. With this powertrain, fuel-savvy drivers will find a remarkable 21 city/28 highway MPG rating. This translates to a range of about 672 miles before needing to refuel.

You won’t find a diesel engine with the Wagoneer, and the best fuel rating you’ll get is 16 city/22 highway MPG. While that can likely get you to nearby destinations easily, you may need to plan more fuel stops for long-distance drives.

The moment you sit down, you’ll be surrounded by modern-day technologies and materials meant to enhance your drive. The Chevy Tahoe and the Wagoneer each come with:

• Tri-zone climate control
• 8-way power front passenger seat
• Available heated and ventilated front seats

However, the front-row measurements of the Tahoe may put you more at ease with 42.3 inches of headroom and 44.5 inches of legroom. You’ll have slightly less space with the Wagoneer; it comes with 41.3 inches of front headroom and 40.9 inches of front legroom.

Now that you’re ready to invite passengers to share in the upgraded cabin amenities, you’ll want to provide plenty of room for their cargo, too. Fortunately, both the Chevy Tahoe and the Wagoneer offer more than 25 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row. That's about the volume of a large refrigerator!

When it comes to driving alone, whether you’re picking up a large grocery order or a new couch, the maximum 122.9 cubic feet capacity of the Tahoe will come in handy. When you fold down the rear rows of the Wagoneer, you’ll have around 116 cubic feet.

Connectivity is easier than ever with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ in the Chevy Tahoe and the Wagoneer. You can use these features, as well as Bluetooth® streaming audio, via the available 10.2-inch screen of the Tahoe or the 10.1-inch screen of the Wagoneer.

With rear-seat entertainment systems, the kids and their friends will be captivated for the whole drive, making it easier for you to stay focused on the road. While the Wagoneer incorporates the same sized screens for the rear-row passengers—once again at 10.1 inches—the Tahoe gives you an upgrade by providing two 12.6-inch rear touchscreens.

Technology easily extends into the safety features of these family SUVs. For starters, the digital clusters in each model help you see all the important information in a central location. In the Tahoe, the Driver Information Center screen can be upgraded as large as 12 inches, while the Wagoneer comes with a 10.25-inch digital cluster.

Perhaps the most glaring safety technology of the Chevy Tahoe, though, is Teen Driver. When it’s time to start teaching your kids how to drive, this system can be equipped. It will limit certain features and provide an in-vehicle report card to help you feel at ease when your teen sets off on their own. This is a Chevy-exclusive feature, so you won’t find it on the Wagoneer.
