Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid 4x4

Post by moonjee06 » Nov 10, 2008 Views: 2378

This is GM's self-proclaimed "no-excuses hybrid." You can have it all: a gargantuan SUV with seating for eight, a big 6.0-liter V-8, towing, hauling, four-wheel drive, and fuel economy. That's right, GM's first "full" hybrid boosts the four-wheel-drive Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon's fuel economy by a whopping 43 percent on the EPA city cycle and five percent on the highway cycle to a V-6 Toyota Camry-shaming 20-mpg city rating, as well as a 20-mpg highway rating (21 city and 22 highway on two-wheel-drive models).



As part of this "no excuses" business, GM is proud that, unlike some single-purpose hybrids (think two-seater Honda Insight), the Tahoe maintains all existing functionality and features. Mark this one down: The Tahoe is the first hybrid to come with keyless starting; heck, it's even standard. That's right, Mr. and Mrs. Overindulgent American Greenie, the press of a button fires up six liters of gas-guzzling V-8 goodness in the driveway. You may be worried about your carbon footprint, but a cold leather seat is no way to start the morning.
