How much does the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe cost?

Prices have softened 13.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,867 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe a good car?

Yes — the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe earns a 4.78/5 user rating and an 8.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its spaciousness, modern design, and advanced technology, and many also call out the comfortable ride and reliability. The Tahoe’s roomy cabin and spacious third row make it especially appealing if you want a large SUV that can carry people comfortably. On the other hand, the high price for basic models and missing expected features are recurring frustrations.

The overview points to a strong fit if you want a full-size SUV that feels thoroughly modern, with broad appeal for shoppers who value room and updated features. The main trade-offs are poor fuel economy and uncomfortable seats, and advanced safety features are not standard.

With 35.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is meaningful market opportunity if you shop carefully.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe reliable?

Owners rate it 4.78/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback repeatedly points to reliability, with owners describing the Tahoe as dependable and a vehicle they can count on over the long term. The expert review also emphasizes that the redesigned Tahoe brings a more modern package while improving the areas that mattered most to buyers. The powertrain is described as refined and effortlessly capable, which supports confidence in everyday use.

If you buy used, the biggest long-term ownership risk is still the usual one for a large SUV: higher operating costs if maintenance has been deferred or the vehicle has been used hard.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any Tahoe you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. A pre-purchase inspection matters here because this is a large, complex SUV with multiple powertrain and technology combinations. Focus on seat condition, electronics, and how the vehicle has been used, especially if it has towing or off-road equipment.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Tahoe LS and LT differ in grille treatment, with the LS using cloth seats and the LT adding leather. The RST brings a sportier blacked-out look, while the Z71 adds a redesigned front end for improved off-roading capability, red tow hooks, a skid plate, and all-terrain tires. Premier and High Country add more upscale exterior trim and leather upgrades, so the base trims are the ones most likely to feel light on luxury features.
• Powertrain: Chevrolet offers a standard 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, plus an available 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque on High Country. A turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel inline six-cylinder is also mentioned as an available option on most versions, and it promises a significant improvement in fuel efficiency.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes Teen Driver, a rear-seat reminder system, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, and low-speed automatic emergency braking. Higher trims or options can add lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, and rear pedestrian detection, while Premier and High Country can get adaptive cruise control, high-speed automatic emergency braking, a Safety Alert Seat, and an upgraded blind-spot warning system with trailer coverage.
• Infotainment: The Tahoe uses a standard 10.2-inch touchscreen with over-the-air update capability and enhanced cybersecurity protection. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with voice recognition and Chevrolet Connected Services. Navigation is an upgrade, and two Bose premium audio systems are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo-diesel promises a significant improvement in fuel efficiency, and the 5.3-liter V8 with 4WD is estimated at 18 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe trim should I buy?

The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe is offered in 6 trim levels: LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, High Country.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the entry point, and it gives you the redesigned Tahoe experience at the lowest price, but cloth seats and the more basic appearance make it the least upscale choice.
• LT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds leather and keeps the Tahoe’s core strengths intact without pushing you into the pricier luxury end.
• RST: Choose this if you want the sportier blacked-out look and 22-inch wheels, but it is more about style than added capability.
• Z71: This is the right pick if you want the most rugged setup, with off-road-oriented hardware, tow hooks, a skid plate, and all-terrain tires.
• Premier: This trim is the first one that moves firmly into luxury territory, with perforated leather and more upscale trim details.
• High Country: This is the top-end choice, with the most powerful V8, the most premium interior materials, and the most upscale presentation.

The safety package starts with a solid standard set of driver aids, but several advanced features remain tied to higher trims or options.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,867 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.19% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 77.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $39,427, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe's resale value?

The current average of $39,427 sits slightly below last year's $45,417.

That decline suggests the Tahoe has moved into a more buyer-friendly pricing zone, which can help you if you’re shopping now. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend more heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment than on broad market momentum. Well-kept examples with desirable features should hold up better than basic or heavily used ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.78/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe safe?

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes Teen Driver, a rear-seat reminder system, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, and low-speed automatic emergency braking. You can add lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, and rear pedestrian detection with higher trims or options. Premier and High Country also unlock adaptive cruise control, high-speed automatic emergency braking, a Safety Alert Seat, and an upgraded blind-spot warning system with trailer coverage.

The review also recommends the available surround-view camera with rear, forward, and top-down views because it helps a lot in tight spaces. One caveat is that the vehicle had not yet been crash tested by NHTSA or IIHS at the time of publication.

Should I buy a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.19% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.78/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesign gives you a big upgrade in driving dynamics, technology, and innovation.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned Tahoe with better space, better tech, and stronger overall appeal, the 2021 is the one to target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you may still want to compare nearby years, but the 2021’s updated package makes it the more compelling choice for most used buyers.
