Chevy Tahoe Hybrid Review Summary: The 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is a traditional truck-based full-size three-row SUV with a big difference. The Tahoe Hybrid's two-mode hybrid system functions as promised, delivering a substantial jump in fuel economy when compared to the conventional Tahoe.

Make no mistake about it. The 2009 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid is a great big truck that integrates some innovative technology. With room for eight and plenty of hauling power, the traditional Tahoe has been a popular choice for large active families. The new two-mode hybrid system provides considerable benefits in lower-speed operation -- whether you're cruising through town or crawling through the parking lot at the local sports complex.

Thanks, Baja! I look at it as first-generation tech. Within a couple of years, the MPG #s should rise considerably. How long until we see 40 MPG city in an 8-passenger vehicle?

First view, first comment!! Now back to adulthood. You really obtained great mileage on that thing!! People may scoff at this technology in such a large vehicles. But in reality it makes sense to start w/ the most fuel thirsty rigs, well it did when that was all they sold! Seattle (king county) was the first to purchase the Hybrid buses from GM here in town. Saves a lot I bet!!

You are absolutely right. Big vehicles going hybrid is hugely important. I was just about to scoff too.

Hybrid is not a bad idea, but at least Chevy could put the original Tahoe's body kit on it instead of this nasty one.

how much money in gas does it waste

@Sardonick007 That is for the 4WD... the rear wheel drive model gets 20/23.

[Sardonick007]

WTF, all of that tech and combined systems and you get 20/20. Fail.
