2023 Chevy Tahoe RST Adds Performance Pack with More Power

• The Chevy Tahoe 2023 RST trim level will offer a performance package with extra power and chassis customization.
• The upgraded exhaust adds 13 horsepower and 7 pound-feet to the 6.2-liter V-8.
• The package costs an additional $8525 and will be available later this year.

Maybe Chevrolet is a little jealous of the Ford Expedition’s Stealth Performance package, as the full-size Tahoe 2023 SUV will now add its own performance package. Available for the RST trim level, the Performance Edition adds an upgraded exhaust, suspension tweaks, and different brakes.

The exhaust adds 13 horsepower and 7 pound-feet to the RST’s 6.2-liter V-8 engine, bringing the total to 433 horsepower and 467 pound-feet of torque. Springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars borrowed from the police-spec Tahoe are also included, meaning the Performance Edition sits 0.4 inches lower than stock. Larger front brakes provide extra stopping power, and the calipers are painted red.

Chevy claims improved performance metrics, including a 5.8-second sprint to 60 mph, a top speed of 124 mph, and a shorter stopping distance. We’ll see how it performs on our test track when we can get it; it will have its work cut out for it according to its 60-mph Expedition Stealth Performance 4.9 seconds.

The Performance Edition costs $8550 on top of the base 2023 Tahoe RST 4WD price of $66,595. It also includes the Luxury package, which typically costs $3025 and includes equipment such as heated second-row seats, adaptive cruise control, and a heated steering wheel. Tahoes equipped with the package will arrive at dealerships in the last quarter of this year.
