2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid Base 4x2

Overview

The Chevrolet Tahoe is a purpose-built, full-size four-door, family-oriented SUV. A sharp, precise driving feel, and enhanced safety features make it a popular choice among full-size SUVs. The big news for 2008 is the addition of the Hybrid model into the Tahoe lineup. GM's advanced 2-mode hybrid system conserves energy by using an electrically variable transmission, a 300 volt storage system and a 332 hp 6.0L Vortec V-8 engine with Active Fuel Management. The Hybrid is able to accelerate using only the electric motor, unlike other large hybrid vehicles. The nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery includes an 8 year/100,000 mile warranty. Efficiency is also aided by a liftgate and hood made of aluminum, improved aerodynamics, lower resistance tires, and a 0.4-inch lower ride height. For 2008, The Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is new.
