NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS
Overall Safety Rating

Frontal crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  * 

Side crash ratings:
Driver: No Test Rear Passenger: No Test

Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Review
"Front side airbags are optional instead of standard for 2003, but these full-size SUVs gain new entertainment options along with an available antiskid system, 4-wheel steering, and adjustable pedals.

Tahoes are similar to GMC's Yukon/Yukon Denali. The longer Suburbans are kin to Yukon XL/Yukon Denali XL. Tahoes come in half-ton 1500 form, Suburbans in 1500 and heavy-duty 2500 models. All offer LS and upscale LT trim and swing-out rear cargo doors or a liftgate with opening glass. A 3rd-row bench seat is standard on Suburbans, optional on Tahoes for up to 9-passenger capacity. With leather upholstery, 2nd-row buckets are a new option. Front side airbags are now a $350 option.

Standard on all are antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, automatic transmission with Tow/Haul mode, and a V8 engine. Tahoes come with a 4.8 liter and offer a 5.3 that's standard on Suburban 1500s. Suburban 2500s use a 6.0- or optional 8.1-liter V8. Available is rear-wheel drive or GM's Autotrac 4WD, which can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing.

GM's Stabilitrak antiskid system is a new option for all 5.3-liter models. GM Quadrasteer 4-wheel steering is newly available for 6.0-liter Suburban 2500s. Quadrasteer reduces the turning circle at low speeds and is designed to enhance stability at higher speeds and when towing. Newly available for all models as part of the LT option package are power-adjustable pedals. A DVD rear-seat entertainment system and XM satellite radio also are new options, and LT trim includes turn-signal lights for the power door mirrors. Rear load-leveling suspension and OnStar service are also offered. The Z71 package for 4WD models delivers special wheel flares, body trim, and shock absorbers, plus 17-inch wheels in place of 16s."

NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS
NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS

Frontal crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  * 

Side crash ratings:
Driver: No Test Rear Passenger: No Test

Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).
