Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Tahoe than in the Lexus RX 500h. The Chevrolet Tahoe will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus RX 500h.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Tahoe as you will with the Lexus RX 500h, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Chevrolet Tahoe is somewhat more expensive than the Lexus RX 500h.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Tahoe is much wider than the Lexus RX 500h, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Chevrolet Tahoe, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Lexus RX 500h.

Handling
The Chevrolet Tahoe has a larger turning radius than the Lexus RX 500h, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Chevrolet Tahoe is clearly the choice over the Lexus RX 500h for pulling heavy loads. The Chevrolet Tahoe has a little less horsepower than the Lexus RX 500h.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Chevrolet Tahoe doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Lexus RX 500h.

Utility
The Chevrolet Tahoe offers greater seating capacity than the Lexus RX 500h, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. With the Chevrolet Tahoe, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Lexus RX 500h.
