The 2022 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban had several key changes for which Chevrolet plans to increase prices. All but the base LS trim will get a new 12-inch display that replaces the previous 8-inch. Navigation on the infotainment system's 10.2-inch touchscreen will be standard. Lane Keeping Assist and parking sensors are also now standard, and automatic reversing braking has been added to the upgrade package. The 6.2-liter V8 variant has been expanded to the Z71, RST and Premier trim levels. Several add-on packages need to be selected to get the Premier trim.
Based on prices in the 2022 Tahoe configurator, the truck price will increase by $1,695 over 2021.
LS $51,295 ($600)
LT $55,995 ($1,300)
RST $59,095 ($1,400)
Z71 $61,195 ($1,300)
Premier $64,495 ($800)
High Country $71,395 ($800)
Please note that this is the manufacturer's suggested retail price, excluding the discounts General Motors has in mind to account for missing features due to chip shortages. Potential discounts can range from $50 on the base LS trim to $1,600 dropped from the High Country.
Suburban is receiving a similar price hike as well. New MSRPs for Suburban 2022:
LS $54,595 ($600)
LT $59,995 ($1,300)
RST $63,195 ($1,400)
Z71 $65,195 ($1,300)
Premier $67,995 ($800)
High Country $74,895 ($800)
It looks like the reason for the price increase is the inclusion of navigation in standard. On 2021 models, getting navigation also means getting a rear-seat infotainment system, the duo being sold as a $2,490 package. By separating the two, Chevy is making the most of both. The 2022 Tahoe and Suburban configurators show a $1995 price tag for the rear seat infotainment system, just $495 less than when it came bundled with navigation.
If you can find a 2021 Tahoe or Suburban in stock and you know you want navigation, an infotainment system in the back, you don't care about the larger display or you just want the base LS trim - it might make sense to purchase the 2021 version to save up.
