Chevrolet Tahoe sales decreased 17.33 percent to 24,679 units in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease is rather unexpected considering current market trends that strongly favor utility vehicles like SUVs and crossovers over sedans. We believe that the sales decrease is the result of strong competitive forces from rivals such as Ford and Nissan, so in what could be a way to boost sales volume in the full-size SUV segment, a new Chevrolet discount reduces the price of select Tahoe models by almost $7,000.
Incentives
Nationwide Chevrolet discounts on the Tahoe for January 2019 are as follows:
- 2019 Tahoe: $1,500 Cash Allowance when Financed with GM Financial + $750 customer cash + $4,500 package cash allowance = total discount of $6,750 on select in-stock models
- 2019 Tahoe: $3,750 total cash allowance on select in-stock models when financing with GM Financial
- 2018 Tahoe: $5,000Â total cash allowance on select in-stock models when financing with GM Financial
- 2018 Tahoe: $1,500 consumer cash + $1,500 down payment assistance =Â total discount of $3,000
It’s worthy to note that the January 2019 incentives for the Tahoe are identical to those of the 2019 Suburban.
For reference, here are the applicable 2018 and 2019 Tahoe trim levels and their corresponding starting MSRPs:
2018 Tahoe
- LSÂ (1LS) – $48,795
- LTÂ (1LT) – $53,895
- Premier (1LZ) – $63,495
2019 Tahoe
- LSÂ (1LS) – $49,195
- LTÂ (1LT) – $54,195
- Premier (1LZ) – $63,895
The $5,000 Chevrolet discount as it applies to an in-stock 2018 Tahoe LS model with an MSRP of $48,795 brings the starting price of said model to just $43,795. Meanwhile, the $3,750 Chevrolet discount brings the starting price of a 2019 Tahoe LT to $50,445, making it almost as affordable as the 2019 LS model.

or sales could be down because grounded inventoryt was low becasue many built vehicles were damaged in a fall hailstorm AND ongoing transporation issues and lack of rail cars had thousands of fs Gm Suvs sitting in Texas for 2 months or more after they were built instead of being shipped to dealers. Just sayin’
Possibly sales down because people are waiting to see what the new redesigned 2020 will look like. I know I am waiting for that.
Contrary to popular belief, that’s not how most people buy cars. Perhaps that’s how enthusiasts would like to view it, but when someone’s lease is up before the launch of an all-new model or when a car gets totaled and it’s time for a new one, they don’t have the luxury to sit around and hold out for the new model.
GM has done a very good job keeping quiet about the looks and details of their all new full sized SUVs. So far we have seen only some disguised test vehicles with independent rear suspension. No reveal at the Detroit auto show. But we should see something soon, since Management did say the changeover would happen this year.
Auto sales are down for a variety of reasons. But first and foremost it comes down to the simple fact prices are simply outrageous for new vehicles across the board, regardless of brand, make and model. Back in 1970 you could buy a brand new, top of the line Corvette with all the bells and whistles for around $4500. Average household annual incomes in 1970 was around $10,000. Compare that with today – a new ZR1 Corvette is $120,000 with annual average incomes in the U.S. at $60,000. Until auto manufacturers get back to production numbers based on “economies of scale” rather then trying to maximize profits per unit, sales will continue to slide. People just don’t have the ability to pay such prices
A Suburban hatch and a Suburban XL. After all this time, Tahoe (and Durango) are still S10 trims to me,
slightly off topic:
I’m settling on the opinion the best use of the name Blazer is not on a full-size, but on a Colorado-based 2-row Chevy off roader (ZR2/Bison parts already exist). Offer the 5.3 in it. And add a Canyon based 3-row GMC for people that like to tow a couple ATVs or snowmobiles (full-size width can be annoying). Send the Acadia to Buick.
“Send the Acadia to Buick”
The Enclave is already there.
