2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl gas/electric hybrid 4A)

Review

The incorporation of a CVT on a full size SUV really makes the difference here. Not only does this feature always keep the vehicle in the perfect RPM range, it is super smooth. I just wish the interior was a bit more modern. My reliability rating is a wash as I have only had the vehicle for a few weeks.

Favorite Features

Mileage in a vehicle that can still tow my 15' trailer when needed.

Suggested Improvements

Remove the large hybrid stickers and replace the fake, plastic wood trim with polished aluminum.

Review

I was in the market for a large SUV. So why not decrease my carbon exposure and increase some fuel saving. I avg. 21.3 city driving and almost 24 highway. The hybrid technology has changed the way I drive in that I am not as aggressive a driver as I once was; saving much more on fuel economy. I totally recommend hybrids. Great purchase even though people think a large SUV Hybrid is an oxymoron.

Favorite Features

Hybrid technogy. I can virtually drive from the main road into my development and to my house on battery power alone.

Suggested Improvements

Hybrid decals are unnecessary. Hybrid emblems are enough. I want to have them removed.

Review

For a vehicle this size it is relatively quick and a fun ride. Handling is good, and most importantly, the mileage thus-far is performing up to stated claims. You can tell it is a hybrid as you drive it at lower speeds since it feels like you're driving an electric golf cart. Sometimes, there is hesitation from a dead stop as it decides whether to use electric, gas, or a combo of the two to get the truck moving. A minor quibble. Interior controls are intuitive and easy to figure out. It lacks some bells and whistles that vehicles of this price tend to have, however, such a programmed seating, heated outside mirrors, and 6-disc CD player. All in all, I love it!

Favorite Features

Mileage that meets/exceeds stated claims. Smooth ride, even over rougher surfaces. Good acceleration and torque at passing speeds. Comfortable interior seats. Attractive exterior design.

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of all the decals - we know it's a hybrid! I had all the 'hybrid' decals on the side and front/back windows removed. Third-row seats not built for anyone but kids and I wish they would figure out a better way to lay-flat or removed the back seats. Better door latches; have to slam doors.
