The Ultimate Hybrid SUV
June 15, 2009 by jcme · Leave a Comment
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.
