2027 Chevrolet Tahoe: What’s New for Waynesboro Shoppers
The 2027 Chevrolet Tahoe arrives at Buchanan Chevrolet with six trims, three engine choices, and up to 8,400 lbs§ of towing capacity when properly equipped. Shoppers across Waynesboro, Greencastle, Chambersburg and Hagerstown get three-row seating for up to nine passengers, a 17.7-inch touchscreen standard on every trim, and something no other full-size SUV in the segment offers: an available Duramax turbo-diesel rated at an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined.‡
What’s New for the 2027 Chevrolet Tahoe
The 2027 Tahoe is a packaging and equipment update rather than a redesign. Six changes matter to shoppers.
| 2027 Change | What It Means |
|---|---|
| High Country is four-wheel drive only | The two-wheel-drive configuration is discontinued. Four-wheel drive is now standard on the flagship trim. |
| RST Performance Edition package | Pairs the 6.2L V8 with Chevrolet Performance induction and exhaust for 433 horsepower and 467 lb-ft, plus Brembo heavy-duty front brakes and a high-performance suspension package. |
| RST gains standard heated and ventilated front seats | Comfort content that previously required a package is now standard equipment on the RST. |
| Super Cruise now pairs with the Duramax diesel | Chevrolet’s hands-free driver assistance technology¶ is available with the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel for the first time. |
| White Sands paint joins the lineup | A new no-charge exterior color offered on the RST and Z71. |
| Cypress Gray and LS Custom Edition discontinued | The Cypress Gray color and the LS Custom Edition appearance package are both dropped. |

2027 Chevrolet Tahoe Engines: Three Choices, Not Two
| Engine | Output | EPA-Estimated MPG (2WD)‡ | EPA-Estimated MPG (4WD)‡ | Fuel | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 | 355 hp / 383 lb-ft | 15 city / 20 hwy / 17 combined | 15 city / 19 hwy / 17 combined | Regular 87 octane | Standard on all trims except High Country |
| 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel | 305 hp / 495 lb-ft | 22 city / 26 hwy / 24 combined | 20 city / 24 hwy / 22 combined | TOP TIER diesel | Available on LT, RST, Z71, Premier, High Country |
| 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 | 420 hp / 460 lb-ft | 15 city / 20 hwy / 17 combined | 14 city / 18 hwy / 16 combined | Premium 91 octane | Standard on High Country; available on RST, Z71, Premier |
‡ EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management is standard on every trim except the High Country, and it is the engine behind the Tahoe’s headline tow rating. The 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel is the efficiency play, offering up to 624 miles of EPA-estimated maximum highway range‡ from the Tahoe’s 24.0-gallon tank. All three pair with a 10-speed Allison automatic transmission.
Four-wheel-drive Tahoes use Chevrolet’s Autotrac system with a two-speed active transfer case, not a full-time all-wheel-drive setup. Every 2027 Tahoe rides on an independent rear suspension — a platform-level feature of this generation rather than a top-trim upgrade.
