The Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3 AT, from the third generation, is a full-size SUV whose all-wheel-drive layout shapes how power reaches the road both under acceleration and when the throttle is closed.

Automatic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
AWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
96 × 92 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
5328 cm³
Engine location
Front, longitudinal
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
6
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
324 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
239 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Lifting off the accelerator puts the engine on overrun: the wheels drive it rather than the reverse, and the closed throttle creates a mild braking effect. With all-wheel drive, that retardation is shared across both axles instead of acting through one pair of wheels.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Extra load presses the tyres down harder, but it also raises the mass the automatic transmission must accelerate and later slow. On a slippery surface the added grip is often consumed by the added momentum, so traction gains do not follow load automatically.
Body and Practicality
A five-door SUV body describes the door count and rear hatch, not how high the boot floor sits. That height follows suspension travel, wheel size and the way the rear seats and any underfloor storage are arranged beneath the load area.
