Seating

The 2022 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban seat up to eight passengers comfortably with three rows of seats. The Suburban is a slightly longer vehicle, measuring 225.7 inches compared with the Tahoe’s 210.7 inches.

No matter how much cargo you’re carrying, it’s easy to stay organized with plenty of convenient storage features in these SUVs. Both the Tahoe and Suburban come standard with a cargo management system, which includes adjustable dividers to keep items from shifting while you’re driving. In the cabin, you can organize smaller items in the front center console with a hidden storage drawer. Certain trims of both SUVs offer a power-sliding center console so you can place larger items between the front seats.

In most trims of both vehicles, a 12-inch color driver information center displays important vehicle information with customizable features. A six-speaker audio system comes standard on lower trims, while other models come standard with premium Bose speakers.
