About this generation

On December 10, 2019, Chevrolet introduced a fifth-generation Tahoe at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. This time around, GM chose to introduce the Chevrolet full size SUVs first, followed by the GMC Yukon in January 2020 and the Cadillac Escalade in February 2020. Following the industry shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, the SUVs started production at the Arlington plant on May 18, 2020, and arrived in dealerships in June 2020.

Based on the same GMT T1XX platform as the Silverado 1500, the Tahoe distinguishes itself by swapping that truck's live axle and leaf springs for an independent rear multilink suspension setup with coil springs, thus lowering the floor of the vehicle and creating more room in both the cargo area and the second-and third-row seats. The Tahoe expanded its length, and the wheelbase, making it the largest SUV in the full-size length segment.

It gains of cargo space behind the third row and of third-row legroom. Carryover trims include the basic LS, LT, and Premier, with Z71 and RST moving from package to trim level, along with the newly-added top-of-the-line High Country trim, giving the Tahoe the highest number of trims of any vehicle in its segment. Quad exhaust tailpipes are available on LT and standard on Premier and High Country. Although the Tahoe retains a boxy look, it adds a more rounded design and adopts the same Chevrolet design language as the Silverado, featuring a sharply curved front grille and LED lighting.

The Tahoe nameplate is given greater prominence, being placed front and center on the higher liftgate. The dashboard and entertainment system have been fleshed out, moving away from the traditional design. Newly updated features include a 10.25-inch touch screen that is now standard on all trims and a pair of 12.6-inch LCD rear screens that can play movies and offer content from passengers’ smartphones and can play different programs on the two screens.

A new push-button shifter column (P, R, N, D) is placed on the dashboard, nine camera displays for enhanced towing capabilities, and a total of 30 additional safety features have been implemented throughout the Tahoe. An Air Ride Adaptive Suspension is standard on the higher trims, likewise with an 8-inch driver screen. It also features a Duramax diesel engine as an option (available on all trims and packages except for the Z71) for the first time; a 3.0-liter I6 which produces and of torque, a segment-exclusive.

The fifth generation Tahoe went on sale in the second half of 2020 as a 2021 model. Although GM had been making plans to bring the Tahoe to right-hand-drive countries for the first time, those plans were temporarily put on hold for the Australasian region because of low demand for large SUVs and a local company (expected to be Holden Special Vehicles) that was prepared to do the conversions focusing on other productions.

In November 2020, GM announced that its large SUV lineup would be imported to China, marking the Tahoe and Yukon Denali's maiden entry into the country, starting with the 5th generation models. In November 2021, GM announced that it would begin selling the Chevrolet Tahoe in South Korea starting for the 2022 model year, surpassing the Chevrolet Traverse as the largest Chevrolet vehicle in that East Asian country's Chevrolet lineup.

The Korean-spec Tahoe is exclusively available in the High Country and Dark Night Edition trim levels only and is powered by the 6.2L L87 V8 petrol engine as its only engine option for that country. Just like with the Mexican-spec Chevrolet Tahoe, the Korean-spec Tahoe is not available with the Duramax I6 diesel engine. All Korean-spec Tahoe SUVs are manufactured at the Arlington Assembly plant. Sales of the Tahoe in that country began on April 18, 2022.
