2012 and 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban Specifications

2012 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Step inside, and you'll discover another good reason to buy a Cadillac XTS. The large, cushy (but not at all mushy) front seats are among the most comfortable and supportive you'll find in any car, rivaling the best from BMW, Lexus, and Volvo and easily besting the seats in the Audi and Mercedes. The rear seat of the XTS is also quite comfortable--for two people. Basing the XTS on GM's Epsilon platform, originally created for much smaller cars, has a cost. It's much cheaper and easier to lengthen a platform than to widen one. So the XTS is essentially a stretched midsize sedan rather than a large one. Rear legroom is abundant despite insufficient space for feet beneath the front seats, but the cabin is very much midsize in breadth. The compact Dodge Dart (admittedly wide and heavy for its class) provides as much space for shoulders. see full review

2016 Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Some (perhaps more than some) people are drawn to large SUVs because they like to feel like the king of the road when behind the wheel. Others need a lot of space while driving, or at least feel they do. Few vehicles have more front seat room than the new Tahoe. With an inch-and-a-half less shoulder room, the Ford's front-row dimensions aren't quite as generous, and its taller, shifter-festooned console is more intrusive. The front seats are comfortable in both. The Expedition's are a little wider and softer, and they're upholstered with especially rich hides in the King Ranch and Platinum (vs. the most recently tested and photographed Limited). Whether this is preferable is a matter of taste. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review

2016 Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Both the Tahoe and Expedition have roomy, comfortable second-row seats, with a slight edge to the higher cushions in the Chevrolet. Bonus points to the Tahoe for automatic rear climate controls (they're manual in the Expedition). Move to the third-row seat, and you'll wonder why, despite redesigns for 2007 and 2015, General Motors has stubbornly refused to follow Ford's 2003 switch from a solid rear axle to an independent rear suspension. With a solid axle, the rear floor must be high to permit the rear differential to travel up and down when a wheel hits a bump. Consequently, the Tahoe's third row seat must be very thinly constructed and mounted very close to the floor. Even pre-teen children won't be comfortable in it. In sharp contrast, the Expedition's third-row seat is higher off the floor than its second-row seat, much less the ridiculously low third row in the Tahoe, and is--surprise--considerably more comfortable as a result. The Suburban's third-row seat is roomier than the Tahoe's but still far inferior to the Expedition's. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review
