The GMC Yukon Hybrid – and its counterpart the Chevy Tahoe Hybrid
–were the first vehicles to utilize the advanced two-mode hybrid
powertrain developed jointly by General Motors, BMW and the then
DaimlerChrysler. This full-size SUV launched a new breed of larger
vehicles that are significantly greener than their gas-powered
versions.
Available with either two- or four-wheel drive, there are two trim
levels available. The base Yukon Hybrid has a starting price of
$51,610 for the 2WD model; $54,420 for the 4WD. The lavishly appointed
Yukon Denali Hybrid 2WD starts at $58,925; the 4WD at $61,770. Other
than an updated touch-screen navigation radio that includes a USB port
and the ability to record broadcast audio, there are no changes to the
Yukon Hybrid for model year 2012.
!! Powertrain !!
The core of the Tahoe Hybrid's powertrain is GM's 6-liter Vortec
V8 with cylinder deactivation technology. In other words, this engine
can shut down four of its eight cylinders when the additional power
is not needed. That saves fuel. Beyond the engine, there's a
300-volt battery that hides below the second-row seats. The
vehicle's two electric motors are housed within the transmission.
