OnStar with 4G LTE and standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot provides a mobile hub for
drivers and passengers to stay connected. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle
is on and comes with a three-month/three gigabyte data trial, after which the
customer can purchase additional data.
4G LTE is the most current and fastest mobile data network – 10 times faster than
3G and 100 times faster than the previous generation of OnStar hardware. And
with OnStar, it also offers stronger, broader coverage than smartphones on the
same network and it’s easy to use: If the vehicle is on, the connection is on.
At the time of purchase, six months OnStar Directions and Connections includes all
of OnStar’s advisor-based safety and security features, including Automatic Crash
Response and Stolen Vehicle Assistance, as well as Turn-by-Turn navigation.
Five years of OnStar Basic Plan includes RemoteLink Key Fob Services, allowing
owners to remotely start and lock/unlock a car (if properly equipped), and activate
the horn and lights from anywhere with a data connection. It also includes OnStar
Vehicle Diagnostics, which runs monthly checks of a vehicle’s engine, transmission,
anti-lock brakes and more, and Dealer Maintenance Notification, which sends a
diagnostic report directly to a preferred dealer to simplify service scheduling.
The OnStar with 4G LTE connection will arrive later in the 2015 model year and will
include a 3GB/three-month data trial.
First-class comfort, capability and driving experience
The 2015 Tahoe is engineered to deliver a quieter, more-controlled ride and
improved steering and braking feel. It all starts on a stronger, fully boxed,
perimeter frame, which supports payload and trailering capability that body-frame-
integral crossovers and SUVs can’t match.
All models – 2WD and 4WD – feature an updated coil-over-shock independent front
suspension design, with forged aluminum upper control arms and cast-aluminum
lower control arms on select models. They are 12 pounds lighter per side and 10
percent stiffer than comparable steel components.
