As promised last month, Chevrolet has added the Z71 off-road package to the 2015 Tahoe and Suburban SUVs, with the new models going on sale this fall in the United States.
Unveiled at the Texas State Fair, the Tahoe Z71 and Suburban Z71 feature off-road tyres mounted on 18-inch wheels, front skid plate, a unique grille, running boards and “Z71” badges inside and out. The models also get fog lamps, front tow hooks and front parking assist.
The Tahoe Z71 and Suburban Z71 also benefit from additional content added midway through the launch year, including OnStar 4G LTE with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot (standard on LT and LTZ models), wireless phone charging capability and hands-free liftgate operation.
Included with the available Luxury Package on LT models and standard on LTZ, the hands-free liftgate feature allows a customer with a keyless entry fob to open and close the liftgate by waving his or her foot under a sensor beneath the rear fascia. The wireless phone charging feature allows users to place their phone on a small mat in the vehicle, where it charges without the need to plug it in.
Production of Z71 models begins in October, with the package being available for 2015 Tahoe and Suburban LT models with 4WD.
