The Ultimate Hybrid SUV
June 15, 2009 by jcme
The GMC Yukon is, for many families, the ultimate in transportation. It features enough space for just about any family out there, and it can tow a camper or look great parked for a night out on the town.
Of course, all of that luxury, size and power comes at a price. The GMC Yukon is far from the most fuel efficient vehicle on the road. However, beginning with the 2008 model year and continuing in 2009, GMC has offered Yukon fans a way to save at the gas pump: with the GMC Yukon Hybrid.
There was a time, of course, when hybrid cars were small and aerodynamic. Eventually, you would find a mid sized sedan or maybe a compact SUV that featured a hybrid engine. Today, however, you can go green with one of the biggest vehicles on the road.
the GMC Yukon hybrid relies on a 6.0 liter gas V8 engine that is supported by two electric motors. The yukon can actually go up to 30 miles per hour on electric power only, giving a 21 mile per gallon fuel rating in city driving.
The GMC Yukon Hybrid is similar to a regular Yukon in all of the way sthat matter. It can seat 8 people and offers around 109 cubic feet of space for cargo. As always, this Yukon comes loaded. It can even tow up to 6,200 pounds.
