Practicality Meets SUV in Miami: The 2009 Yukon Hybrid

The 2009 GMC Yukon proves to be an amazing piece of machinery with its 21-mpg fuel economy and its ability to maintain a standard SUV’s towing capacity. Especially with the high price of gas in Miami these days, a fuel-efficient car is the option many Miami drivers are going with.

The 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid is a full-size SUV that is available in one trim level. Some standard equipment that comes with the Hybrid are 18-inch alloy wheels, rear park assist with rearview camera, tinted windows, power-folding heated side mirrors and tri-zone automatic climate control. Some of the new features added to the 2009 model are Bluetooth connectivity and real time traffic for the XM satellite radio.

The new Hybrid continues to impress its Miami drivers with its performance and power terrain. Available with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive, the Yukon Hybrid maintains its toughness. Both models utilize a 6.0 liter V8 engine located inside what GM calls an electrically variable transmission. Together, they produce 332 horsepower and 367 pound-feet of torque. The system can accelerate the Yukon up to speeds of approximately 25 mph using electricity only. Regenerative breaking replenishes the batteries by capturing energy normally lost coming to a stop.

There is no doubt about the seriousness of the Yukon Hybrid. Not only is it tough enough to get your through Miami streets, it also is fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. Talk about killing to birds with one stone.
