The Alpina XB7 is as fast as it is luxurious and as practical as it is well equipped. The trouble is the same is true of the closely related BMW X7 M50i, which is significantly cheaper.

PROS
Hugely fast
Very spacious and practical
Outstanding infotainment system

CONS
Too similar to an X7 M50i
Much more expensive than the M50i
A lot of road noise

By:

PROS
Big, refined power;
understated design;
Decent ride comfort,
even on big wheels.

CONS
Awfully big and thirsty,
unsettling stability-control interventions,
priced for exclusivity.

The 2021 Tahoe is all new and considerably improved. Along with a completely redesigned exterior and interior design, the three-row SUV has been stretched to provide more cargo and passenger space. Its cabin also benefits from the Tahoe's first independent rear suspension, which has already been adopted by direct rivals such as the Ford Expedition and the Nissan Armada. The Chevy receives a host of new technology as well as the addition of a diesel engine option.
