In this review of the 2023 Chevy Tahoe RST Performance by Doug DeMuro, we're diving into a world where big SUVs are not just about size but also speed. Priced at over $80,000, this beast packs a punch with a 6.2L V8 engine churning out 433 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque. But it's not just about power; the RST Performance model comes with a quad exhaust system adorned with Chevy logos, delivering both performance and a thrilling soundtrack.

When it comes to enhancements, the RST Performance doesn't hold back. From larger Brembo brakes to a sportier suspension borrowed from the Tahoe police vehicle, this SUV means business. The Firestone Firehawk tires, black badging, and red-painted brake calipers add a touch of aggression to its appearance. And let's not forget the unique feature of a Chevy logo projecting onto the ground to open the tailgate hands-free, a small but nifty detail that sets it apart.

Inside the RST Performance, you're greeted with jet black leather seats featuring striking red stitching, sport pedals, and a luxury package that includes heated steering wheel and rear seats. The interior is not just about comfort; it's also about convenience and technology. With hidden storage compartments, wireless phone charger, and a configurable gauge cluster, this Chevy Tahoe offers a blend of practicality and modernity. The infotainment system is responsive, featuring Google Assistant, physical climate controls, and a 360 camera button for easy maneuvering.
