However, the Suburban is larger than the Tahoe, which is reflected in their pricing. ## Starting Prices and Depreciation The Tahoe starts at $62,995, while the Suburban is priced at $65,995. After five years, the Tahoe retains more value, depreciating by 48%, compared to the Suburban's 51% depreciation. ## Depreciation Estimates According to CarEdge, the Tahoe is expected to depreciate by 52%, while the Suburban will lose 56% of its value. This suggests the Tahoe may be a more economical investment. ## Factors Affecting Depreciation Beyond the model, factors like vehicle condition, mileage, and trim level also impact depreciation. Regular maintenance and thorough cleaning can help minimize value loss. ## Trim Level and Depreciation Higher trim models tend to lose more value over time.
