The 2011 hybrid Chevrolet Tahoe is a fuel efficient and competent sports utility vehicle. This car ranks first among the eight affordable big SUVs. The Tahoe has enough space for nine passengers and it offers a better fuel economy rate and towing ability. According to many reviewers this is the best SUV in the present market. The vehicle has an inviting and comfortable interior. The hybrid vehicle is powered by a V-8 engine that has a displacement of 5.3 liter and produces 320 horse powers and torque of 335 pounds. This is definitely an improvement on the fuel economy which puts this car ahead of its rivals. This highly fuel efficient car offers an impressive 23 mpg in the highways and 20 mpg in the city.
With the 320 horse power the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe has an effortless towing capacity of 8500 pounds and is perfect for a family out on a winter vacation with the snowmobiles or a fishing expedition. The car can also accommodate cargo of 108.9 cubic feet and the 271 off road suspension is really helpful for people riding the SUV on a rough terrain.

New Chevrolet Equinox Delivers 32 MPG Highway
The styling direction that Chevrolet began to take with the release of the 2008 Malibu has been expanded to include the Traverse crossover and has now found its way to the 2010 Chevy Equinox. That latter model is now on sale and offers something that no other SUV can achieve whether gas powered or hybrid: 32 miles to the gallon driving on the highway.
Class Leading Fuel Economy
Now in its second generation, the all new Equinox is important for Chevrolet as it helps to advance the attractive styling direction of the brand as well as gives compact SUV buyers a compelling reason to consider something other than the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-X or Ford Escape. Indeed, while its highway mileage is astounding, the new Equinox achieves 22 mpg around town which is also a commendable figure, matching the Toyota but beating the Honda by 2 mpg.
It is the new base engine – a 2.4L Ecotec direct injected I-4 engine delivering 182 horsepower, that is helping the Equinox reach its high end mileage goals. Of course, it helps that GM paired the sport/utility vehicle with a six-speed automatic transmission, perhaps the best combination these days to help vehicles achieve class leading fuel economy figures.
