The Yukon Hybrid is GM's green alternative for those who need a full-size SUV but wish to be at least moderately environmentally responding while doing so.

GM proudly and loudly proclaims it as the world's first full-size two-mode hybrid SUV. It can be had in two- or four-wheel drive.

As if having a full-size hybrid SUV was not counter-intuitive enough, one must also consider that there is still a V8 engine underhood as well.

The 6.0 liter is good for 332 horsepower at 5,100 rpm and 367 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm. Fuel economy numbers for the two-wheel drive SUV are 21 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, while the 4WD version manages 20 in either cycle, as estimated by the EPA. This compares favorably to an equivalent 2WD Tahoe with a gas engine only, which is rated at 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. Towing capability is rated at a maximum of 6,200 lbs for the 2WD and 6,000 lbs for the 4WD model.

The gasoline engine utilizes GM's Active Fuel Management technology to shut down four cylinders when less power is needed as well. Then there is a 300 volt battery pack that fits in the rear cargo area without intruding on passenger space. That battery pack also runs the air-conditioning and power steering, as the truck is capable of moving without the big V8 being lit thanks to two 60KW (or 80 hp) motors that power the wheels.

The motors are integrated into what looks like a four-speed automatic transmission, but is actually a continuously variable set-up, although it does have four fixed ratios when the gas engine is needed to charge the batteries.

In addition to all the high-tech gadgets, GM engineers saved gas the old-fashioned way: by putting the Yukon Hybrid on a diet. They managed to shave about 350 lbs by using lighter wheels and seats, a smaller starting battery, an aluminum hood, liftgate, front bumper beam, shaft and engine and eliminating the starter motor.

The aerodynamics were also improved via the use of some unique body components, and when coupled with the gas-electric hybrid tech, the vehicle was nearly able to make a 50 percent improvement in city mileage.

Standard content includes 8-passenger seating, leather 6-way power and heated front seats, a navigation system integrated into the sound system with a rearview camera, tri-zone air conditioning, one year of OnStar, stability control and traction control and 18-inch wheels, among others.

      6.0L Vortec V8 LIVC SFI w/ Variable Valve Timing

      • At low speeds and light loads, Yukon Hybrid can reduce fuel consumption by shutting off the engine and operating on electric power alone.
      • During normal stops, regenerative braking uses the motors in the hybrid transmission as generators to decelerate the vehicle by applying resistance in the motors rather than brake friction. At the same time, the motors are capturing that energy as electricity in the 300-volt battery pack, electricity that is available for the next acceleration cycle.
      • When extra power isn't needed, such as cruising at highway speeds, Active Fuel Management® deactivates four of the eight cylinders to become a V4. For passing, trailering or hilly terrain, pressing the accelerator can reactivate all eight cylinders in milliseconds. For even greater power when necessary, the electric drive system can engage automatically for extra torque.
      • Yukon Hybrid packs a lot of power in a small space, thanks to its 300-volt Nickel-Metal Hydride battery pack. Its technology stores power so efficiently that the complete battery pack fits under the second row seat between the strong steel frame rails, leaving passenger and cargo volume unaffected.
