The Tahoe is significantly larger, measuring 211.3 inches in length compared to the QX60's 198.1 inches, resulting in a 13.2-inch overall length advantage.

Why does the QX60 have better MPG despite requiring premium fuel?

The QX60 is classified as a Crossover and likely weighs less than the larger, truck-based Tahoe SUV, contributing to its 24 combined MPG rating. Its 268 hp engine is also tuned more conservatively for efficiency compared to the Tahoe's 355 hp engine.
