2013 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |

2007 | 4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD |
The interior is basically a Tahoe and even with 5 people, the truck is comfortable. Rear AC and headphone jacks help too. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review |
