This luxurious version of the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon has a plush interior and a powerful 6.2-liter V8. Acceleration is strong even when towing a heavy load, but fuel economy is a poor 13 mpg overall. We found the interior to be quiet, and the ride comfortable, if not entirely settled. The small third-row seat is too low and doesn't fold into the floor. The SUV has clumsy but secure handling. Braking distances are long. An extended-length ESV model and an EXT crew-cab pickup are also available. A hybrid version improves fuel economy. Reliability has improved to average.
