..."This vehicle is amazing. I agree with other reviewers that you can achieve better than double ordinary gas mileage for similar non-hybrid SUV's by taking it easy on the pedal. |

Full-sized capabilities with improved mileageSource: MSN Autos...Rear cargo door is diifficult to close properly. Some minor wind noise at freeway speeds.

2008 GMC Yukon HybridSource: Cars.com...This is not what I had expected when they advertise the EPA Estimate as 20 City and 20 Hwy. Would suspect that a regular Yukon would get at least 16 mpg on average, so I'm less than pleased with the outcome. Other than that, I really like the vehicle, as it rides well, no rattles, nice interior, etc. Would recommend a Yukon, but based on the gas results of my Hybrid, the additional cost is not justified. Although it has GM's Hybrid technology, they stripped off a load of weight with aluminum in lieu of steel, lighter seats, wheels, no luggage rack, etc., added a heavy battery and the end... |
