Blending the performance of a traditional muscle car with the versatility of a contemporary full-size SUV, the Tahoe SS concept vehicle utilizes production-ready components to build on Chevrolet's legacy of four-door, rear-wheel-drive performance vehicles.

"Chevrolet has a strong history with rear-wheel-drive, four-door performance vehicles - most recently, the Impala SS of 1994-96," said Chevrolet General Manager Kurt Ritter. "Tahoe SS builds on that history by delivering a four-door, rear-driven performance vehicle that meets the popular demands of today's SUV customers."

Although Tahoe SS has a look all its own, its content doesn"t vary much from a regular-production Tahoe. A lowered, performance suspension system includes 20-inch wheels and tires taken from the Silverado SS production model. An SS family appearance was created with styling cues similar to the Silverado SS, including a revised grille, Sylvania High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps and a revised front bumper with large brake ducts. Along with subtle rocker moldings, Tahoe SS also boasts TrailBlazer exterior mirrors, deletion of the roof rack, a new rear bumper and a rear spoiler.

Production simplicity is also found inside the cabin. The Dark Pewter leather upholstery is the same found in 2003 Tahoe LT models. SS seat embroidery and an SS white-faced instrument cluster add distinction, but are all that differentiates this concept vehicle from production models rolling off the assembly line.
