They're Coming December 10! What Does The All-new Chevrolet Tahoe And Suburban NEED To SUCCEED?

We're only days away from the launch of an important, all-new vehicle. And, I am honestly looking forward to it.

That's because General Motors is about to drop the all-new Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban on December 10. These full-size sport-utility vehicles are volume products for GM. So, it can't mess these up.

And if you haven't noticed, there's a lot more full-size SUVs offered on the market. It's time to see GM bring the goods. Clearly, it worked with the all-new C8 Chevrolet Corvette. Can lightning strike twice?

The latest spy shots do not reveal much. That's because its engineers have been keeping the vehicles hidden under heavy camouflage. From what we can tell it appears not much will change on the exterior. They will be squared-off and blocky, in terms of design.

Where the changes will be is inside. I caught a big daddy GM SUV testing in Washington D.C. over Labor Day and its clear the instrument panel and center console will make use of at least two widescreens a la the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

I suspect the GM team will be upgrading its cabin to make it more palatable for luxury tastes and less downbeat as these vehicles have been in previous generations. Cadillac, of course, will lead the pack with the most cutting-edge tech and accoutrements inside.

All that said, I've got to ask: What do YOU think the all-new Tahoe and Suburban NEED to SUCCEED in the face of much more stiff competition than ever before?

Weigh in, Spies!

If the Tahoburban has "Silverado face" they will be highly discounted sales turds like the Silverado.

They need NO QUALITY GLITCHES.

Build must be excellent.

Chevy interiors are dreadfully low quality and boring to be in. Chevy must up their game in the interior design of the new SUV's.

Fortunately, these are NOT "all new" designs. They are a restyle/update of the current ones just as the Silverado was not literally all new. With that strategy, GM should be able to not fakk this up too bad.

Fortunately? Don't you mean unfortunately these are not all new designs which they dearly need to be competitive.

Um NO...you're quite wrong.

The one thing the current ones lack is IRS. That's about the ONLY thing they need to change chassis wise.

Engines are easy to drop in.

The LACK of a clean sheet means that they will be reliable and durable.

The competition is the Expedition. NOTHING else can touch the Americans for price, size, accommodations, reliability, and durability.

They need to hold the line on price. At 70-80K they are not price or quality competitive with the German and Japanese products.

Also please don't give it the fugly face of the Silverado. That will kill sales faster than anything else they could screw up.

They need a lower hood line and not the wall of a face up front. If recent GM products are any indication they will be more of the same with mediocre interiors and same ol' same ol' styling. But, they will take in orofits.

The amount of money to dealers to make the Silverado sell is massive.

That is one thing Bob Lutz addressed in his book. When reviewing a model in development the commented to the team lead that the interior was dreadful. The response was they needed to cut costs to be able to fund incentives. Why not produce an interior consumers want versus having to discount it.

Profits.

If they want to dial back the incentives, the interiors need to be good...a dolled up Silverado interior won't cut it. Always hard to say what GM will show up with as the old design by committee and cost engineering mentalities die hard within GM.

For me it all about the interior! Go to have”much better” styling and quality of the cabin got to look luxurious if Chevrolet is keeping with it current pricing of nearly $80+K for the top of the line Premier trim with all the options.

From an other site, "..Sources have described it as being a cross-breed between the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer and the new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado." That would be Horrible!
