GMC Yukon/Chevy Tahoe Hybrid EPA Results...

not too bad for a REAL 8 passenger SUV...
-----

So far, according to GM, the GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid will get a 40 percent better fuel-economy than their standard versions, which would give them both 19 to 20 miles to the gallon. Now the EPA has announced the official government ratings which are close to GM’s numbers.

According to the EPA, the 2WD versions will get 21mpg and the 4WD will get 20mpg. GM is hoping to sell 10,000 units annually of both hybrid SUVs combined. While pricing has yet to be announced, analysts expect them to be in the mid-$40,000 range.

When the Yukon and Tahoe Hybrid debut this fall, they will be equipped with, what GM calls, a two-mode hybrid that uses two electric motors.

this is very old news. pricing is out...

http://www.gmc.com/yukonhybrid/index.jsp

the yukon hybrid's base price is $51k for a 2wd... yes, $51k before you add ANYTHING. and $54k for a 4wd.


I still want to know what they're going to do with the batteries when they die out. All of that nickel has to go somewhere.

The EPA results were old news? Thats interesting since they were quoted as recent...

Yeah, same question on the batteries.....still a wonderment. Surprised Al Gore hasn't said anything, since he is an Scientist and all, maybe he is also a Physicist..

GMC can't release the MPG's without EPA approval and they've been out for months... what was the date on the announcement that you were referencing?

take a look at the new Tahoe/Yukon, they're all new, great trucks.


my favorite line about Fords:

"remember the old saying that 80% of Fords are still on the road today? yeah, well, that's because the remaining 20% actually made it home"
