2008 GMC Yukon
January 13th, 2007
General Motors stated that its new 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid will have the world’s first two-mode hybrid propulsion system in an SUV. The new Yukon Hybrid made its first appearance at the 2006 Los Angeles auto show.
GM says the new Yukon Hybrid will boost fuel economy by 25 percent over the standard V-8 Yukon, though it shares the same V-8 engine. With the hybrid adaptation and GM’s version of cylinder-deactivation technology, the Yukon Hybrid keeps the performance of the standard SUV while boosting fuel economy, GM promises.
