Text

The 2021 model year ushered in next-gen overhauls for the Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban nameplates, including the fifth-generation Tahoe, and the twelfth-generation Suburban. Now, the 2022 Chevy Tahoe and 2022 Chevy Suburban expand the availability of the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine.

Previously, with the 2021 Chevy Tahoe and 2021 Chevy Suburban, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine was reserved for High Country trim levels for both models. Now, however, the 6.2L V8 is available on 2022 Chevy Tahoe and 2022 Chevy Suburban RST, Z71, and Premier trim levels as well.

With regard to 2022-model-year RST trim levels, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine is now only available in conjunction with the new Sport Performance Package (RPO code WBL), which, in addition to the V8 engine, also includes Magnetic Ride Control (Z95) and dual twin polished stainless-steel exhaust tips (N10).

On Z71 trim levels, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine is only available in conjunction with the new Off-Road Performance Package (RPO code RGN), which includes the V8 engine, as well dual twin polished stainless-steel exhaust tips (N10). The Off-Road Performance Package also requires the Off-Road Capability Package (Z6E), which bundles together Magnetic Ride Control (Z95), Air Ride Adaptive suspension (F47), and an electronic limited-slip differential (G96).

Finally, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine is offered as a standalone option for the Premier trim level on 2022 Chevy Tahoe and 2022 Chevy Suburban models.
