The 2023 Chevy Tahoe marks the third model year of the fifth-gen full-size SUV, for which it received a variety of small changes and updates. Arguably the biggest change was the addition of Super Cruise, but a few others are also worth noting, so here’s exactly what’s new and different about the 2023 Tahoe.
Model Line
The 2023 Chevy Tahoe continues to be offered as a full-size five-door SUV across the following trim levels:
- Commercial / Fleet (fleet only)
- LS
- LT
- RST
- Z71
- Premier
- High Country
An extended-length variant of the Tahoe is sold as the Chevrolet Suburban.
Mechanical
No changes are taking place on the mechanical front, as the 2023 Tahoe carries over its two gasoline V8 engines and one straight six turbo-diesel engine from the 2021 and 2022 model years.
| Engine | Fuel | Aspiration | Transmission | Drivetrain | Horsepower @ RPM | Torque @ RPM | Axle Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.3L L84 EcoTec3 V8 | Gasoline | Atmospheric | 10-Speed Automatic (MHS) | RWD or 4WD | 355 @ 5600 | 383 @ 4100 | 3.23 |
| 6.2L L87 EcoTec3 V8 | Gasoline | Atmospheric | 10-Speed Automatic (MHS) | RWD or 4WD | 420 @ 5600 | 460 @ 4100 | 3.23 |
| 3.0L LM2 Duramax I6 | Diesel | Turbocharged | 10-Speed Automatic (MQC) | RWD or 4WD | 277 @ 3750 | 460 @ 1500 | 3.23 |
Exterior
On the outside, the 2023 Chevy Tahoe replaces three existing colors with three new ones:
Deleted colors:
- Satin Steel Metallic (G9K)
- Evergreen Gray Metallic (GED)
- Cherry Red Tintcoat (GSK)
New colors:
- Silver Sage Metallic (G6N)
- Radiant Red Tintcoat (GNT)
- Sterling Gray Metallic (GXD)

Sterling Gray Metallic
There are also two new 22-inch wheel options. The first are 22-inch polished aluminum wheels (RPO code SII) while the second set are Carbon Flash Metallic aluminum wheels with selective machining (SIY). Both wheels are available on LS, LT, RST, Premier and High Country, but not on Commercial or Z71 trims.
Interior
Inside, the only change to the 2023 Chevy Tahoe is a change in the material that wraps the steering wheel. Specifically, the LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country trim levels now have steering wheels wrapped in simulated leather (N57). By comparison, 2021 and 2022 models featured leather-wrapped steering wheel (NP5). Additionally, the commercial/fleet model continues with Urethane steering wheel (NK5).
Driver Assist Technology
On the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) front, the 2023 Chevy Tahoe gains Super Cruise (UKL). It’s available only as part of the Advanced Technology Package, which also includes Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist (UKZ) and Reverse Automatic Braking (UVZ). The package is only available on Premier and High Country models.
Packages
Speaking of packages, the 2023 Chevy Tahoe sees a small rearrangement when it comes to Adaptive Cruise Control (KSG) and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking (UGN). Both of these features have been removed from the Premium Package (PCU), Premium Package 2 (RGK) and the High Country Deluxe Package (PDM), and are now standalone options.
For the 2022 model year, these were available only in conjunction with the Premium Package (PCU), Premium Package 2 (RGK) and the High Country Deluxe Package (PDM).

Looking Ahead
After the 2023 model year, the 2024 Tahoe will see only minor changes, as the big updates will come with the refreshed 2025 Tahoe. The refresh is set to bring a slew of noteworthy updates such as revamped front and rear fascias, a revamped cockpit with larger a larger infotainment screen, and a new diesel engine. We also expect a dual-mode exhaust system for the 6.2L V8 engine, and the availability of the turbo-diesel engine in conjunction with the Z71 trim level.
It’s worth noting that the refreshed Tahoe was initially expected for 2024, but was pushed back to 2025.
The updates and changes described here are specific to the U.S. market and may be different for other markets.

I saw something yesterday which floored me because I’ve never seen it mentioned ANYWHERE and it’s very cool. A very recent Silverado was waiting to turn left across oncoming traffic and the left front turn signal light is sequential. I assume Tahoes and Suburbans do that too, and maybe other GM vehicles. I’ve seen a lot of new vehicles do that in the rear but never the front. I’d much rather have seen this instead a lot of the other minutiae in here.
The Tahoe/Suburban does not have sequential turn signals. Only the new top trim Silverado has front sequential lights (same thing with the new top trim HD trucks).
Why are you posting about what’s new with model year 23 when 2024 production run starts this month?? I swear you post some of the most useless stuff on here these days
Dennis….The Reason Is Because The 2024 Model Is Actually A 2023 Model With A 2024 GM Designation!
Dennis, did you even read the article? It clearly says that 2024s will go into production in November. That’s over two months out. And it will be another two months before the 2024s come to market. So we’re four months out from those, plenty of time for 23s still.
New orders for 2023’s were cutoff in late May. “What’s new and different” 100 days after you can’t order one any longer remains irrelevant.
PhD PE and Dennis are hilarious, but in a sad way.
The last DOSP cycle for the 2023 Tahoe is September 14th and there are around 6 THOUSAND 2023 Tahoes in stock nationwide as of this moment. Also, the 2023 models are still in production, making this article very relevant still.
I just sold a certified 2022 Tahoe to a family and they were debating between 2022 and 2023. They looked at and then sent me this article before making their decision. Looks like you guys are out of touch with reality.
Steve, don’t even bother. Dennis and PhD are known haters with nothing better to do.
A more appropriate article would have been acknowledging that your predictions for the 2024 Tahoe were totally wrong. Please, don’t start the long term speculation and guessing for the 2025’s already.
Here you are again, spreading more of your useless BS.
I told you on the other thread and I’ll tell you here again, you’re shouting GMA after gm pushed these refreshes back. Why shoot the messenger?
Don’t let reality get in the way of your anger. Seek counseling instead.
So from reading this article I figured out it’s best to just wait for the 2025 model next year. I wish it was this year for the changes.
Please read the headline before commenting. Dennis is indicating that the headline should read “2024”.
This may be a small change. Just got a 2023 Tahoe, first owner. LT Trim line. When driving +10 mph, the only camera I can view is the trailer hitch. When slower or P, I can view all 9 cameras. Blind spot cameras not accessible while driving. Not a good change, IMO
