2025 Chevrolet Tahoe
large SUV / 4-door SUV
Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
Tested vehicle: 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2023-25 models
The Chevrolet Tahoe was redesigned for the 2021 model year.
