With best-in-class approach angle, a powerful V8 engine and 4-corner air suspension, tackle the highest dunes in the Chevrolet Tahoe Z71
CHEVROLET, MIDDLE EAST – To master the dunes, every off-road driver needs an SUV perfectly engineered to fly across the sand. As the Official SUV of Action, the recently launched Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 is the perfect partner for every desert adventure. Built with more Middle East input than ever before, the Tahoe Z71 is in its element with specifically designed off-roading performance features for the region’s most adventurous drivers.
For the first time ever, Chevrolet is offering the Z71 as a standalone trim on the all-new Tahoe. Based on regional input from loyal adventurers, Chevrolet engineers designed an SUV as fierce, stylish and capable as its drivers.
The very embodiment of action, the Tahoe Z71 boasts exceptional performance off-road along with best-in-class drive dynamics1. The powerful V8 engine, mated to an advanced 10-speed automatic transmission is standard, allowing the Tahoe Z71 to sail across the softest sand with ease.
Likewise, the all-new independent multi-link rear suspension transforms the driving dynamics, allowing each rear wheel to handle road conditions separately. This architecture also enables first-in-class Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension1 which provides load-levelling at all corners of the vehicle and up to four inches of ride-height adjustment; drivers will feel the smoothness of the journey, even as they throw the Tahoe Z71 across the dunes.
The Tahoe Z71 also comes equipped with the Autotrac system, a 2-speed automatic, active transfer case offering five modes: Auto 4WD, 4HI, 4LO, 2HI and Neutral. These modes can be activated across different landscape, supporting the driver no matter what’s beneath the wheels. For example, while Auto 4WD can be used in slippery conditions and mild off-road driving, the driver can switch to 4Hi to increase traction on loose and soft sand for better purchase. For a more demanding route, 4Lo provides optimal torque delivery at moderate speeds throughout the range and up to 80 kph.
The Tahoe Z71s off-road credentials are bolstered by one of the industry’s most sophisticated chassis technologies with Magnetic Ride Control. Using sensors to continually ‘read’ the road and alter the damping rate of the shocks almost instantly, reducing bounding body roll and vibrations, making for a smoother ride even across rough ground.
An exclusive offering on the Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 in the Middle East, is the combination of the Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, Magnetic Ride Control, Autotrac and an electronic limited slip differential that work together to provide Active Response 4WD. The all-new Active Response 4WD System is an intelligent 4×4 system that comes standard on the Z71 in the Middle East, allowing the driver to easily and confidently tackle off-road conditions, by sending optimal torque to each wheel to improve traction.
