I have had my Yukon Hybrid for a year and a half and in that time I have discovered a whole new level of sophistication. Previously I have had Range Rovers which are very nice but just don't offer the same level of performance. I have had one recall for a minor issue but other than that in 19,000 miles it has never missed a beat. Fuel mileage seems to average around 20 mpg mostly city driving, but the carbon foot print of this vehicle is far lower than my last few which is the reason I bought it. At stop lights with the engine off the other hybrids are usually running...enough said. You do have to learn to change your driving style to get the most out of this vehicle.

220,000 miles

the car has been a great ride and my wife has kept it in great shape so i am now considering putting in a new motor at 220,000 miles and letting my daughter drive it for college vs buying a new used car with unknown problems. the top of the dash area has some cracking under the windshield yeas of sun and the guys at the car wash have added that problem and the hood is getting some discoloration. We don,t use the 4x4 very often but it has never let us down. if you can find a used one in good shape and meets your budget and lower miles I don't think you will be disappointed. we found it gets better gas millage at higher speeds. in Utah & Arizona where we you have a 75 posted speed limit we average 28 mpg. Our daily mixed city and highway with going up and down a large hill at least twice a day we average 18 mpg

Good Choice

We did our research on a large SUV which could accomplish the flexibility in travel and towing. Along with the gas mileage for our family. After extensive research we felt the premium paid for the Yukon Hybrid was the choice for us. It is a superior family vehicle for city pick up and delivery of children and a great vacation transport.

Do your research before buying a Yukon Hybrid

This vehicle will come to abrupt stop during acceleration, without warning. If the person behind you is not paying attention you WILL be rear ended. During my research I have found many others with the exact same complaint, Yet GMC does nothing about it. Most dealerships do not even know where to start when trying to diagnose Hybrid issues. So, expect to hear BS about your batteries , and they will try and sell you on a $5,000 repair. I am on my 3rd engine, the first 2 were covered under warranty ( by luck ). Do your own research about the stalling problem before considering any GMC full size SUV hybrid

VERY dissatisfied

I bought this truck with a promise of 21 mpg (city and hway). In real life, the best case scenario was 13.8 mpg in town and 16.8 mpg hwy. I drove with a feather touch, and watched the economy meter regularly. On the hwy, I only used Cruise control for maximum gas mileage. With all my attempts, these are the best numbers I could do. I was so upset (and embarrassed when asked by friends what my mileage was on my new Yukon hybrid), that I sold it at a huge loss. Better to get it off my back now than later. It'll be worthless in a year, if they even still make it by then. Interior is all molded plastic... Terrible.
