General Motors revealed today redesigned large sport-utility vehicles — Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL — which are among the company’s most profitable vehicles.
The 2015 model-year SUVs, which will hit showrooms between January and April 2014, share the same vehicle architecture with GM’s recently redesigned full-size pickup trucks.
Separately, GM is expected to reveal the redesigned CadillacEscalade on Oct. 7 in New York.
All three Detroit automakers are capitalizing on American’s rekindled affection for big trucks, both pickups and SUVs. Through the first eight months of 2013, light trucks, which include vans, crossovers and smaller SUVs, accounted for two-thirds of Chrysler’s U.S. sales, 65% of Ford’s and 61% of GM’s.
