What Chevrolet Tahoe do most buyers choose?

The Chevrolet Tahoe years with the most listings are 2022, 2023, and 2024.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, trim, and price. They also sit close enough to the newest redesign to deliver modern features while still offering used-car value.

What is the Chevrolet Tahoe's resale value?

Most Tahoe model years are down year over year, which is good news if you're shopping used and want to benefit from softer pricing. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while the oldest model year in the table is nearly flat. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful savings across much of the lineup, especially if you're open to a slightly older example.

The 2014 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2014, 2023, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Chevrolet Tahoe now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −14.44% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −14.29%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 36.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 36.7%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $43,016. The Chevrolet Tahoe offers a roomy cabin, strong towing ability, and broad family-friendly practicality.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2025 Tahoe offers a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder diesel that reaches up to 27 mpg on the highway.
• Tech: The 2025 Tahoe adds a 17.7-inch touchscreen, Google Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 11-inch driver information screen, and an optional 15-inch head-up display.
• Safety: The latest Tahoe adds automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist with lane-departure warning, pedestrian and bicycle braking, automatic parking assist, a surround-view camera, and a teen driver monitoring system.
• Starting price: The Tahoe LS starts at $60,495.

If you're buying used today, the 2022 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
