GM Two-Mode Hybrid SUVs to start at about $40,000

The GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid SUVs will be starting full production next week and rolling into showrooms across the countries in the following weeks. We know the EPA mileage ratings (21/22 mpg city/hwy) and the towing capacity (6,000 lbs). The last really big question that has gone unanswered so far is the price tag. Although GM hasn't made any announcements yet, a GM spokesman said the price would be coming in at about the same price as the conventional 5.3L model with similar equipment. For a rear wheel drive model that should put the price at about $40-45,000 depending on exactly what equipment is included. That means there will be virtually no price premium for the hybrid.
