Gmc Yukon Hybrid Review – The Pros And Cons
The 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid has been described as impressive stunning and magnificent by both reviewers and owners. Theyre not talking about the Yukon Hybrids performance amenities or looks although all are average or above. Theyre talking instead about the fuel economy figures they see with this hefty hybrid. Both of GMs 2009 fullsize SUV hybrid models Yukon and Tahoe feature the innovative 2mode hybrid system introduced in 2008. Combined with GMs active fuel management technology and a unique lateintake valve opening system the computermodulated 2mode electronic variable transmission EVT technology translates into real savings at the pump. Since its 08 debut the GMC Yukon Hybrid has boosted gas mileage nearly 30 compared with nonhybrid Yukon models. EPA estimates of 21 mpg/city and 22 mpg/hwy for the 2WD Yukon Hybrid and 20/20 for the 4WD model are indeed impressive.
A comprehensive list of standard amenities comes with the 09 GMC Yukon Hybrid including 8 passenger seating leather 6way adjustable front power seats and a soundsystemintegrated GPS with backup camera. In addition the Yukon Hybrid features 6000 to 6200pounds of towing capacity antilock brakes and stability control.
With its 2mode EVT system a bit of aerodynamic tweaking and a 350lbplus weight reduction in the wheels body and cabin yet still weighing in at nearly 5300pounds the 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid is both big and green.
Starting at 50945 for the 2WD ’09 Yukon Hybrid and some 2810 more for the 4WD big and green is also pricy.
