2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Sport Utility

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

A full-size SUV with seating for up to nine passengers, the 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe is stylish and powerful with premium amenities available inside. The base engine is a 5.3L V8 which generates 320 hp and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The Tahoe is available with 2WD or 4WD, and is offered in three trims; the LS, LT, and LTZ.

Benefits of Driving a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Sport Utility

Chevy's 2010 Tahoe and Suburban pair sturdy, capable truck underpinnings with more modern car-like interiors and features and they stand out for their comfortable ride and decent handling. With the addition of the Hybrid model, introduced in 2009, trailer towing need not exclude fuel economy.

What's new for 2010?

For 2010, the Chevy Tahoe and its larger sibling, the Suburban, see few changes. The Suburban drops the 2LT trim level, leaving only the LS, LT and LTZ. The Tahoe is no longer offered with the 4.8 or 6.2 liter V8 engines, leaving the 5.3-liter V8 as the sole powerplant for non-hybrid versions. A 6-speed automatic is the only transmission available on both models. Other updates include several equipment changes, such as new audio systems with standard USB ports and the addition of front side air bags to the list of standard equipment.

Model Strengths

  • Towing and hauling ability
  • spacious interior
  • compliant ride and handling relative to other large SUVs
  • fuel-efficient hybrid model.

Model Review

The 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban are lines of full-size sport-utility vehicles that are very similar, but the Suburban is 20 inches longer.

Safety Ratings help

What do the Safety Ratings mean?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests:

Driver Crash Grade:

Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury.

Passenger Crash Grade:

Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger.

Rollover Resistance:

Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover.

Side Impact Crash Test - Front:

Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury.

Side Impact Crash Test - Rear:

Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.
