Default Yukon Hybrid

This car has two 60KW motors, a 300 volt battery pack, and a two mode system. This SUV will allow you to switch between first mode, which is ideal for when your traveling at low speeds, and mode 2 which is for when you need higher speed (such as on the highway).

It has 18 inch aluminum wheels, a sunroof, remote start, and much more!

If your a SUV fan you should consider this vehicle. It will be released in 2008.

Default green car

Buying green is just the first step in reducing the environmental impacts of automobile use. Your choice of vehicle is most important, but how you drive and how well you maintain your car, van, or light truck will also make a difference.

The 2010 GMC Yukon Hybrid ranks 5 out of 10 Affordable Large SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 25 published reviews and test drives of the GMC Yukon Hybrid, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Try doing all this in a Prius: The GMC Yukon Hybrid seats eight, can tow more than 6,000 pounds and gets up to 21 mpg in city driving.
It seems many auto reviewers don't know what to do with the GMC Yukon Hybrid. While some say the Yukon Hybrid is just what the American market needs (after all, if Americans are going to buy large SUVs, they may as well be efficient as possible), others wonder why the cutting-edge hybrid technology in the Yukon Hybrid wasn't put in a smaller car, where it could save even more fuel.
Maybe the press is just starting to catch up with technology. As Edmunds notes, "A few years ago, the idea of a full-size traditional truck-based SUV averaging 21 mpg seemed about as likely as a Chevy Aveo blowing away a Corvette in the quarter-mile." Still, they add, "Getting an amazing 50 percent better fuel economy without giving up a powerful V8, eight-passenger capacity and the ability to tow 6,000 pounds might qualify that rig as the eighth wonder of the world." If that's the criteria, the GMC Yukon Hybrid is ready to take its place next to the Sphinx.
While reviewers are almost unanimous in saying the Yukon Hybrid's gas/electric hybrid system works well, they disagree on if it's worth the nearly $13,000 price premium over the base gasoline-only Yukon. They also point out that though the Yukon Hybrid's fuel economy numbers are good for a large SUV, but not great when compared to smaller crossovers, like the Chevrolet Traverse, which costs thousands less than the Yukon Hybrid.
Other SUVs to Consider

If you need a large SUV that can seat up to eight, tow heavy loads and get good gas mileage, the GMC Yukon Hybrid may be what you're looking for. However, the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid offers similar capabilities for slightly less money, while the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid offers more luxury for those who want it.
If you only need the Yukon Hybrid's people-hauling capabilities, check out a large crossover like the GMC Acadia or Ford Flex. They cost less, get decent gas mileage and seat a crowd. If you just need the towing and seating abilities of the Yukon Hybrid, and don't care about saving fuel, the gas-only Yukon is a great option that will cost you less upfront.
Details: GMC Yukon Hybrid

The GMC Yukon Hybrid was introduced in 2009. For the 2010 model year, changes are minimal and include a few new exterior colors and a standard USB port. The USB port allows music files stored on portable devices to be played through the Yukon Hybrid's stereo. Some handheld devices can also be charged through the port. Unlike the gas-only Yukon, the Yukon Hybrid is not available in a long wheelbase.
