One of the most notable aspects of the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is that it has the same basic appearance and capabilities as the non-hybrid, V-8-powered Tahoe. The Tahoe Hybrid benefits from an advanced two-mode hybrid system combining an electric motor system with a conventional V-8 engine. It involves no special skill set compared to the standard Tahoe; simply climb in, turn the key, choose a gear, and drive. You'll also go up to 50 percent farther on a gallon of gas.
