TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe carries the torch as one of the most capable SUVs out there.

The 2019 Volvo XC90 is a standout effort from the Swedish brand, offering style, luxury, and practicality in a way many other luxury SUVs don’t.

TCC Likes

Excellent V-8s
Good infotainment setup
Lots of customizability

Svelte Swedish looks
Less-is-more interior
Tablet-like infotainment

TCC Dislikes

Traditional SUV downsides
Diesel or hybrid would be nice
Very, very large

Not worth six figures at top end
Base powertrain lacks oomph
Rear seats could use more support
