2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid Overview
Introduction
The Chevrolet Tahoe is a purpose-built, full-size four-door, family-oriented SUV. A sharp, precise driving feel, and enhanced safety features make it a popular choice among full-size SUVs. The Tahoe Hybrid was introduced in 2008.
GM's advanced 2-mode hybrid system conserves energy by using an electrically variable transmission, a 300-volt storage system and a 332-hp 6.0L Vortec V8 engine with Active Fuel Management. The Tahoe Hybrid is able to accelerate using only the electric motor. The nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery includes an 8 year/100,000 mile warranty. Efficiency is also aided by a liftgate and hood made of aluminum, improved aerodynamics, lower resistance tires, and a 0.4-inch lower ride height.
For 2009, The Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is a carryover.
