For 2007, the newly redesigned Chevy Tahoe has been repositioned to compete effectively with the Ford Expedition, Cadillac Escalade, Toyota Highlander and Hummer H3. The new Tahoe offers exceptional 9-seat comfort, a sleeker exterior (with a drag coefficient 0.363 less than the Porsche Cayenne’s 0.38), and improved engine technology that averages 17 mpg city. The only thing still missing from the smooth-riding 2007 Chevy Tahoe, however, is a more fuel-efficient hybrid engine. If you can afford the gas, then the new Tahoe with an MSRP of $33,290 – $41,510 is well positioned to offer more style, safety, comfort and substance to get the whole family to the lake and beyond.
Rugged and refined, the new Tahoe gives many SUV counterparts a swift kick in the butt. Although it still rides on the same ladder frame as the 2006 model, the chassis has been significantly upgraded for a much smoother ride. Consequently, the new Tahoe is smoother than many luxury cars, including the Jaguar X-type and Mercedes Benz C-class. That’s because the front torsion bars have been swapped out for flexible coil springs that deliver a more precise feel on the road. The brakes have also been upgraded with thicker calipers for shorter stopping distance. And, the bold new exterior has a full-body appearance for improved aerodynamics. The smaller 39-foot turning radius also makes maneuvering easier than before, making you feel like you’re sitting in a much smaller, more agile sports car.
For those who prefer off-road prowess, the 2007 Chevy Tahoe is available in 4×2 and 4×4 models with true off-road capabilities. The automatic locking rear differential monitors the rear wheels to detect any slippage. It quickly locks the differential in place at lower speeds, improving handling and benefiting on- and off-road expeditions and towing. To say that the transmission has been improved is an understatement: it now features the four-speed automatic transmission that harnesses information from an input speed sensor, resulting in more optimized shifts based on driver input. As a result, the new Tahoe offers smoother acceleration and better handling that greatly reduces the hissing effect for rear-seat passengers in similar large SUVs.
Step inside the 2007 Chevy Tahoe, you’ll find the ergonomic interior design captivating. The seats are well upholstered and supportive. Leather is still an option, but for longer rides it’s a worthwhile proposition that protects you from bumpy road discomforts. In addition, the buttons have a clean appearance, and the central command steering wheel is well integrated with technology that improves driving. Once behind the wheel, you’ll soon forget you’re driving a large, non-European SUV. The new Tahoe lives up to the hype for a well-designed, roomy and comfortable truck America could build.
According to the times, both engines are available for the 2007 Tahoe, including the 290-horsepower engine for the base and the 320-horsepower engine for the 4×2 and 4×4 models. They are combined with an active fuel management system to maximize fuel efficiency by shutting off cylinders during de-powered driving. as a result, the 2007 Tahoe achieves an estimated fuel efficiency of 15 mpg city; 21 highway mpg: Our highway test averaged 17 mpg. Additionally, the new Tahoe benefits from a composite intake manifold that allows for a smoother delivery of torque at low- to mid-range engine speeds, ideal for towing (up to 7,700 lbs.), yet still provides plenty of power for peak performance.
Next to cargo capacity, 360 degrees of safety is the second most important reason people consider purchasing an SUV. In this regard, the new Tahoe offers a host of smart safety features including side airbags, side air curtains, and StabiliTrak that are now standard fare. The high-strength safety cage is further improved over its predecessor with better frame rigidity. The four-wheel antilock disc brakes also get numerous upgrades, including larger rotors and an active brake boost system to improve pedal feel (but needs service every 40,000 miles). Additionally, a new rear view camera system is available as an option, allowing the driver to use the navigation screen to see obstacles that may be located behind the vehicle. Located behind the license plate, the camera is useful as a parking assistant. The safety-conscious, redesigned 2007 Chevy Tahoe takes your well-being as seriously as you do.
