SUV, Large
2011 Chevrolet Tahoe
|
Three is this year’s lucky number for the Chevrolet Tahoe. It wins Vincentric’s Best Value in America Award for the Large SUV category for the third year running due, in part, to three key highlights: Lowest depreciation rate, the lowest fuel costs and the lowest total cost of ownership compared to the seven other vehicles in its class. It doesn’t hurt to also have low insurance costs.
