Exterior

Rugged Good Looks

The 2012 Tahoe Hybrid has all of the impressive styling cues you'd expect from Tahoe. Impressive styling starts right up front and carries through every detail. An unmistakably powerful grille, stylish 18", 12-spoke aluminum wheels and an aggressive stance highlighted by a wide track and large tires. Sleek, yet rugged lines that reflect its go anywhere, do anything attitude. Plus, Tahoe Hybrid has been specifically engineered for aerodynamic efficiency and weight savings.

All-Around Aerodynamics

Tahoe Hybrid id engineered to make your trek as efficient as possible. The
18" 12-spoke aluminum wheels not only make for lightweight travel but also
for efficient airflow. The fascia's lower air dam and assist steps' integrated
spats further improve airflow around the sides of the vehicle.

Efficient Design

Aside from its sleek appearance, Tahoe Hybrid was designed for efficiency.
The sharp crisp lines running along the rear exterior reduces drag, allowing
the air to run freely off the vehicle, improving fuel economy. Lightweight
aluminum in the hood, liftgate and wheels helps offset the weight of the
battery.

Capability

Unrivaled economy, full-size power

The brain of the Tahoe Hybrid is a control module—the hybrid operating system—that monitors the drive system hundreds of times a second. In stop-and-go conditions, the hybrid operating system employs gas or electric power—or a mixture of both—and can turn the gas engine off when moving less than 30 mph. When you need to tow a heavy load, the transmission shifts to one of the fixed gears and uses the power of the V8.
