Overview
The 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid SUV fares well in the fullsize SUV segment. Adding $13,215 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the Tahoe Hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $51,970 and is offered in a single trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 6.0L V8 engine supported by a pair of 60-kW electric motors. Mated to a 4-speed shiftable automatic transmission, it makes 332 horsepower and 367 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 17 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 21 MPG, making the increase in sticker price worth it. The performance of the Tahoe Hybrid also improves here, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 MPH in 8.2 seconds. Chevrolet offers the same 7 colors for the Tahoe Hybrid. The Tahoe Hybrid mainly competes against the GMC Yukon Hybrid and the more expensive Cadillac Escalade Hybrid.
