The Chevy Tahoe 2008 hybrid suv is the 2008 green car of the year.This cool hybrid SUV is available in two or four wheel drive.It, along with the GMC Yukon Hybrid is the first dual mode hybrid power train developed by a combined effort of GMC, BMW and Daimler Chrysler. It can deliver around one fourth more power and efficiency than other conventional ones.This one also combines GM's displacement on demand technology with a combined electric drive system of the trio. Both Yukon and Tahoe hybrids are scheduled to be launched this year.
The same vortec V8 engine is used here also like the Yukon hybrid suv 2008.The suvs of this genre might help in a drastic increase in the sales of Suvs in general.One of the major problems ever regarding Suvs was its fuel efficiency, which is almost solved in these models.The Chevy Tahoe 208 hybrid will provide a fuel efficiency of 25 and 21 mpg in cities and highway respectively.The company might be focusing on its Hybrid badge in advertising campaigns rather than its masculine look.This is almost clear by its very prominent suv badge.The basic principle of the dual mode system is as follows.It is optimized for two modes of driving, ie, one kind for city and another for Highways.It will be automatically powered electric in cities to avoid wastage of fuel and gasoline in highways to provide mileage.
From a user experience, a data we retrieved tells that the original Chevrolet Tahoe non hybrid was getting a mileage of around 15 to average.Now we have to add 20 percent to that which implies a 19 to 24 which is almost at par with the data given by Chevrolet.
