2021 Chevrolet Tahoe vs. 2021 GMC Yukon: Compare SUVs

Joel Feder Interactive Content Manager

The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and 2021 GMC Yukon full-size SUVs are cousins that share their underpinnings, powertrains, features and most options. The chrome-laden Yukon Denali differentiates itself with a slightly tweaked dashboard. The general difference between the two comes down to how much you want to spend and how strong you like your vehicle’s snout.

TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 Chevy Tahoe gets larger, roomier, comfier, and loaded with more features than a cineplex.

Coming to an upper-middle-class neighborhood near you: The 2021 GMC Yukon is richer and bigger, with details and a price tag to match.

TCC Likes

Available air suspension
Roomier third row
10-speed automatic

Bolder looks
Upscale Denali trim
Tougher AT4 trim

TCC Dislikes

Some in-state college educations are cheaper
Optional adaptive cruise control
Need a bigger garage

…but does it really need to be?
Lots of options
Denali goes heavy on chrome look
