Chevrolet Tahoe vs Ford Expedition: Superb 7-Seaters

American full-size SUVs are considered to be some of the most practical cars out there. But have you ever wondered what would happen when we put two extremely comfortable, capable, and practical 3-row American SUVs against each other?  That’s precisely what you’ll find today in this Chevrolet Tahoe vs Ford Expedition brawl. Ford vs Ferrari is for Le Mans. For the average UAE family man, it’s now Ford vs General Motors.

Read till the end as we compare these cars’ prices, performance, cabin comfort, safety, and driver assistance technology, and what our editors think about these cars. But before we get our hands dirty, let’s shed some light on the question “WHY Chevrolet Tahoe vs Ford Expedition?”

Chevrolet Tahoe

The Chevrolet Tahoe, first introduced in 1995, quickly became one of the most beloved full-size SUVs in the market. Known for its reliability, spaciousness, and impressive towing capabilities, the Tahoe has earned a dedicated following.

Over the years, it has won numerous awards for safety and performance, solidifying its reputation as a top choice for families and adventure enthusiasts alike. Its popularity stems from its versatility, offering both luxury and practicality.

Consistently ranking among the best-sellers in its class, the Tahoe has seen impressive sales, reflecting its strong presence in the competitive SUV market. Its enduring appeal continues to grow.

Ford Expedition

The Ford Expedition made its debut in 1997, offering a bold, full-size SUV option for those seeking power and space. From the start, it struck a balance between luxury and practicality, with a focus on family-friendly features.

Over the years, the Expedition has earned a reputation for its performance and safety, earning several awards along the way. What keeps the Expedition so popular is its ability to adapt, providing a reliable and versatile ride for all kinds of drivers.

Its consistent sales and strong market presence demonstrate that it has firmly established itself as a go-to choice for many.

Chevrolet Tahoe vs Ford Expedition: Editor’s Opinion

Something is going on between Ford and Chevy right now. Ford introduces a glorified model, and in response, Chevrolet decimates their favourite child with an even better and more affordable car. Such was the case with the Mustang GTD and the Corvette ZR1X. That may be the case here as well.

Car and Driver has not only given the Tahoe an 8.5/10 rating but has also placed it at the top of their Editors’ Choice list for 2025.

The Ford Expedition isn’t half bad either. It’s fast, powerful, practical, and has acres of room in the cabin. The only problem is that there is a major price difference between the Tahoe and the Expedition. How much? Enough to buy a new Suzuki Swift.

The Chevrolet Tahoe starting price in the UAE is AED 226,600. On the contrary, the Ford Expedition starting price in the UAE is AED 283,395. Now, let that sink in!

Performance

Let’s take a look at the performance figures of these mammoths:

 

The Tahoe is struggling to keep up with the Ford Expedition’s performance, but it’s a 6.2L V8, which is naturally aspirated. The tranny and drivetrains are the same. There isn’t much difference in the weight, fuel economy, and power figures either. It’s about preference now, whether you fancy a gas guzzling, emissions-torturing (not really) V8 or an environment-friendly, 3.5L, cute Ecoboost V6. The choice is yours. This Chevrolet Tahoe vs Ford Expedition is getting pretty intense, right?

Cabin Comfort

Now, we will compare the cabin comfort for these 7-seater SUVs:

 

Well, that is close. Tahoe has a bigger boot, but the Ford Expedition seems to be justifying its massive price margin in the cockpit. It has more speakers, massaging seats, and more screen real estate than you get in the Chevrolet Tahoe.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Let’s talk about the safety and driver assistance technology of both these family haulers:

 

We’re honestly surprised to see that both the Tahoe and the Expedition tick all the boxes in terms of safety and driver assistance. The Ford Expedition has a slight edge because it has one more airbag than the Chevrolet Tahoe, but apart from that, it’s pretty much the same thing.
