DETROIT – It may be the ultimate getaway SUV.
The 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe RST Performance Edition unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show is a very sporty utility vehicle equipped with parts from the Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle.
The enhanced version of the Tahoe RST includes a 433 hp 6.2-liter V8 that's 13 hp more powerful than the regular RST's and a standard all-wheel-drive system.
It also gets the same suspension setup found on the Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle, plus a lowered ride height and upgraded Brembo brakes with a more responsive pedal.
