The Tahoe Hybrid will go on sale next year as a 2008 model, along with the GMC Yukon Two-mode Hybrid. Pricing and production volumes have not been announced.
Design Manager David Smith and his team gave Chevy Tahoe Two-mode Hybrid a distinctive look befitting its unique powertrain, while ensuring a design reflecting that it is still unmistakably a Chevy. The Tahoe Two-mode Hybrid is 10 mm lower in the front and touts additional aerodynamic features compared to the non-hybrid Tahoe.
The Vortec V8-powered hybrid combines GM's Active Fuel Management technology (aka displacement on demand) with a hybrid-electric drive system developed by a GM-BMW-DaimlerChrysler partnership, and based on the technology in GM's hybrid transit buses. The result is said to be a 25 percent improvement in composite fuel efficiency.
Said Tom Stephens, group vice president, GM Powertrain, "The Tahoe Two-mode Hybrid delivers on GM's commitment to apply advanced technologies where we will realize the most fuel savings."
