BUY AMERICAN

..."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.
If you need a large SUV and don't want to send jobs overseas, this is the vehicle to buy."...

Full-sized capabilities with improved mileage

...Rear cargo door is diifficult to close properly. Some minor wind noise at freeway speeds. Brakes are a bit touchy and take some getting used to, especially at slow speeds. Legroom for the third-row seats is limited due to the hydrid battery placement under the second-row seating. Vehicle is a bit pricey, in general. Overall: If you need a vehicle that will seat up to eight passengers or tow up to 6,000 pounds, there are number of good choices out there. However, if you are also looking for a vehicle that will consistently deliver 17-18 mpg around town, under normal driving conditions, then...

Not a whimpy Hybrid

...Pros: Fun to drive, very good at towing and comfort. Cons: No power rear liftgate, power recliner would be nice. Overall: Great ride, and saving gas and less pollution is a big plus...

#4
A Hybrid with Power
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: The fuel efficiency of a four cylinder with the power of a V8 when you need it.
Extremely comfortable and luxurious interior. Exterior that is eye catching.
Seats eight (8) easily and comfortably. On Star Navigation system.
Bose Sterio. DVD player for the children. Cons: Back hatch is not power - can be added after market or found on Escalade Hybrid if you want to pay the difference for it being a Cadillac.
Overall: Overall this is a great SUV. It has a great appearance...

..."The vehicle is great. In 8 years (warrantee), I hope the Lithium ion battery prices will have come down in price.
Outside that concern, the Hybrid has been great. I
am a happy owner with 20 mpg in town and achieving
23 mpg (driving at 65 mph) on an 900 mile trip and an other trip 22.6 mpg driving the speed limit or 5 over (35 in town to 80 mph on highway)on an 800 trip."...

Excellent Vehicle
Source: Cars.com

..."I purchased a 2009 and love this vehicle. Like any other vehicle, actual MPG is directly correlated to the weight of your foot on the gas pedal.
Expect to achieve 20 mpg under normal driving conditions in the city if you "learn" to go soft on the gas.
The blue tooth feature is amazing. Be very careful
around curves in rainy weather as this car has a high center of gravity and anti-lock breaks will make the car shudder if you slow too quickly around such curves. Otherwise, excellent vehicle."...

2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid
Source: 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...
