The demand and interest in the redesigned Tahoe has also translated into a 108 percent sales spike since it went on sale in February 2014, with most dealers reporting the units being sold within 17 days after they arrive on the dealership lots, with most customers opting for the fully optioned LTZ model, making it one of Chevrolet's fastest-selling vehicles in 2014 along with Suburban, who posted higher sales and quicker inventory turnovers.<ref>[http://gmauthority.com/blog/2014/05/chevrolet-says-demand-for-2015-suburban-and-tahoe-higher-than-expected/ "Chevrolet Says Demand For 2015 Suburban And Tahoe Higher Than Expected"] from GM Authority (May 7, 2014)</ref>

For the 2016 model year, the Chevrolet Tahoe received more upgraded changes and new features, similar to the ones added to the Suburban. The changes included power-adjustable pedals, forward collision alert, IntelliBeam headlamps, lane keep assist and a safety alert seat as part of the newly introduced enhanced driver alert package as an available option on the LS trim. The inside floor console with storage area-SD card reader was removed and a new infotainment system was introduced, officially ending the CD player era for the Tahoe; the 8-inch MyLink feature was expanded to the LS trim and became standard (replacing the 4-inch display), although the navigation feature remains as an option on LT and standard on LTZ. A new liftgate shield was added to the Theft Protection Package, along with the new lane keep assist which replaced the lane departure warning. The capless fuel fill tanks became standard on all trims. ''Siren Red Tintcoat'' and ''Iridescent Pearl Tricoat'' became the new color trims, replacing ''Crystal Red Tintcoat'' and ''White Diamond Tricoat''. The instrument cluster was re-configured with a new multi-color enhancement and a heads-up display was introduced as a standard only on the LTZ trim.<ref>[http://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/vehicles/tahoe/2016.html "2016 Chevrolet Tahoe"] from GM Media (June 2015)</ref><ref>[http://gmauthority.com/blog/2015/04/2016-chevrolet-tahoe-receives-new-colors-technology-and-other-conveniences/ "2016 Chevy Tahoe Receives New Colors, Technology And Other Features"] from GM Authority (April 26, 2016)</ref>
