Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid
Gas Mileage and Environmental Information
It has already mentioned that the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid can be up to 25% more fuel efficient than the already fuel economist regular Chevrolet Tahoe. To keep on impressing car buyers, the vehicle boasts of a 40% advantage on city driving. The US Environmental Protection Agency has a fuel economy rating for Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid of 21 miles per gallon for city driving and 22 miles per gallon on highway driving. This is in comparison to regular Tahoe’s 14 mpg and 19 mpg rating for city and highway, respectively.
Another green feature of the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is its regenerative braking system. Thus, you can rest assured that in the overall function of the vehicle, no energy is wasted. The mechanical energy when decelerating and braking is automatically converted into electrical and is effectively stored in the rechargeable hybrid battery placed underneath the second-row seats.
The hybrid is one of the breed of large vehicles, which are drastically greener compared to the regular gasoline-powered cars and SUVs. That is the reason why in 2007, the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid has earned and bagged the Green Car of the Year award at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
