Review: 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid has some strong capabilities, but is it worth the premium? | NEWS | from All of the WORLD | Oxerjen NEWS
Just as we jumped out of the 2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum, we were ready to get right behind the wheel of another GM full-size SUV, the 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe. However, instead of burning gas and averaging something like 2 mpg, we were given the chance to be a bit greener, albeit a very light shade of green with the 2010 Tahoe Hybrid. This car is primarily for those who need plenty of passenger space and tow heavy loads, while at the same time achieving better fuel-economy than they otherwise would with other full-size SUV"s currently on the market.
Despite the greener mechanics, the Tahoe Hybrid remains mostly unchanged from its gasoline-only counterpart in key areas of functionality. The seating capacity is exactly the same, and the towing and payload capacities are highly competitive even when compared to non-hybrid SUV"s in the segment. There are some subtle key enhancements however, specifically in those areas that contribute to fuel-economy. Read on to find out just what they are.

Base Price: $50,720 (AWD Tahoe Hybrid starts at $53,525)
Price as Tested: $54,977.

Curb Weight: 6,200Â lbs (6,000 lbs for AWD).
0 to 60 mph: 7.5 seconds.
