  • Chevrolet Teases Z71 Package for 2015 Tahoe and Suburban

    2015-Chevrolet-TahoeZ71-THUMBChevrolet has just announced that its famous 2015 Tahoe and Suburban will continue to offer features and variants to meet the needs of its customers. Precisely, the company will offer a Z71 package for the models. Unfortunately, Chevrolet didn’t release more information except for that the additional features and production timing will be announced in late September. It also revealed a picture showing the Z71 badge.

    Back in 1988, the company revealed the first official special Z71 package on its full-size pickup trucks. While in 2001, Chevrolet added the Z71 package to Tahoe and Suburban. The models from the model year 2015 feature an evolutionary design with a prominent grille and distinctive headlights. There is also an angular hood and a lot of chrome trim.

    The vehicles are powered by the more-efficient, direct-injected EcoTec3 powertrain. There is also improved aerodynamics, which working in team with the engine deliver greater fuel economy.

    The interior of the models was also enhanced with premium materials. The ergonomics were improved and they demonstrate the Tahoe and Suburban’s blend of sophistication, craftsmanship and function. The new instrument panel features eight-inch color touch screen. What is more, the compartmentalized center console is large enough to store a laptop or iPad.

    Now, the vehicles will also feature OnStar 4G LTE with a standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless phone charging capability and a hands-free liftgate. Chevrolet is the first brand to bring built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi to cars, trucks and crossovers.

    2015 Chevrolet Tahoe2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban are now featuring more connectivity and convenience than ever, which further enhances the redesigned SUVs. The new features include OnStar 4G LTE with a standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless phone charging capability and a hands-free liftgate.

Some of their functionality and technology features include the Front Center Air Bag, which deploys from the inboard side of the driver’s seat and inflates between the driver and front passenger, providing added protection for both front occupants in side-impact crashes.

    The fold-flat second- and third-row seats contribute for more cargo space and convenience due to the addition of power-folding feature. Moreover, there are more than six USB ports and six power outlets featured inside the vehicles. As an option, Chevrolet is also adding a Blu-ray DVD player, conversation mirror in the overhead console and keyless entry and push-button start.

    What powers the vehicles is the standard EcoTec3 5.3L V-8 engine which features direct injection, cylinder deactivation, continuously variable valve timing and an advanced combustion system. 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban with enhanced convenience and connectivity will be in October.

  • 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe And Suburban Exceed Sales Expectations

    2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban were introduced in September last year and are currently available on the market. They are once again proving why they are the segment leaders. Precisely – the demand for the updated SUVs is outpacing expectations. Back in the 1935 Chevrolet created the SUV segment with the Suburban model. Since then, the vehicle has been the sales leader in the full-size SUV market. Now, nearly 80 years after its introduction, the average turn rate (or how quickly it takes a particular vehicle to sell after it is delivered to the dealer) is 17 days for the Tahoe and 10 days for the Suburban.

    2015 Suburban and Tahoe has been redesigned and refined, thus delivering improved quality, advanced technology and increased fuel efficiency. They still keep their impressive towing capabilities.

    The revamped SUVs have received special attention to their interior quietness. In other words, they feature new inlaid triple-sealed doors as well as safety technologies such as forward collision alert and lane departure warning. The last two provide 360 degrees of crash avoidance and occupant protection.

    To go further into details, their LTZ trim levels come standard with LED daytime running lamps, third-generation of magnetic ride control, real-time damping system that ensures more precise body motion control. Other technology features that are optional on the 2015 Silverado and Tahoe include fold-flat second- and third-row seats with power-folding feature.

    There is also available eight-inch color touch screen radio with next-generation MyLink connectivity. There is also the option of up to six USB ports and six power outlets, including a 110-volt three-prong outlet. The available rear-seat entertainment system with dual screens ensures the entertainment of the passengers, while thee keyless entry and push-button start adds more convenience.
