Tahoe Hybrid in Summit White
| |
|
|
Chevrolet Tahoe is the industry's best-selling full-size SUV. It was comprehensively redesigned for 2007, giving
customers the capability expected of a full-size SUV with a sharper, more precise driving feel, more power with improved,
segment-leading fuel economy, increased interior refinement and improved quietness. All Tahoe models are built on GM's
full-size SUV platform, which incorporates features such as a fully boxed frame, coil-over-shock front suspension,
rack-and-pinion steering and a premium interior that bolsters the vehicle's comfort, quality and capability. Wide front
and rear tracks enhance handling and lower the center of gravity for a more confident road feel.
Tahoe is also designed with safety in mind. It delivers a 360-degree safety system of occupant protection and
crash-avoidance technology, with features such as standard StabiliTrak stability control system with rollover mitigation
technology. For 2008, Tahoe's list of standard safety features is enhanced with the inclusion of head-curtain side impact
air bags on all models. Previously, they were optional on some models.
The 2008 Tahoe is available in LS, LT, and LTZ models with 2WD and 4WD. Tahoe's standard powertrain (except base 2WD)
includes an efficient 5.3L V-8 with Active Fuel Management technology that seamlessly switches from eight-cylinder to
four-cylinder operation to save fuel. Additional changes for '08 are minor, reflecting customer preferences and enhancing
Tahoe's style. They include a change to a 40/20/40-split bench seat in LS models that provides convenient storage space
in the center section; woodgrain trim added to the forward center console and brighter instrument pointers in the gauge
cluster. There are also two new exterior colors: Blue Granite and Deep Ruby Metallic.
Returning for 2008 is the Tahoe's popular Z71 Off Road appearance package. This optional package includes the Z71 Off
Road suspension with high-pressure, gas-charged monotube shocks, 18-inch on/off-road tires, automatic-locking rear
differential, front recovery hooks, a durable skid plate and a high-capacity air cleaner. Large, color-keyed fender
flares, an aggressive front fascia, chrome tubular assist steps, chrome door handle centers, chrome mirror caps and
chrome grille inserts provide a distinctive appearance. Inside, a brushed metal-look replaces wood grain accents for a
more rugged appearance. Also included are leather-appointed bucket seats that are available in solid Ebony, Ebony with
Light Titanium inserts and Ebony with Morocco Brown inserts.
Also available on Tahoe LTZ models is the Chrome Appearance Package, which includes a stainless steel exhaust tip, chrome
recovery hooks and the choice of one of six 20-inch wheel designs. Power articulating running boards are available. They
blend smoothly with the vehicle's design, but automatically move downward and outward when the doors are opened,
providing a lower step-in height.
Other aerodynamic refinements include sharpening of the D-pillar rearward, including the taillamps, a CHMSL appliqué
detail spoiler over the rear hatch and a closeout panel under the back of the vehicle to facilitate airflow. Lightweight,
aero-efficient wheels with the lowest rolling-resistance tires available for full-size trucks further trim fuel use, and
are complemented with a tuned ride to provide the ride and handling performance and attention to detail that customers
expect from a totally integrated vehicle.
The 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid Hybrid boasts vastly improved fuel economy over its gasoline-only sibling thanks in large
part to a state-of-the-art hybrid system using GM's all-new Electrically Variable Transmission (EVT). Two-wheel-drive
Tahoe models, for example, deliver 21 mpg in the city, a 50-percent improvement over their 5.3L non-hybrid siblings and
comparable to the city fuel economy of the much-smaller 2008 2.4L-equipped Toyota Camry sedan.

- Rollover capable head curtain side impact air bags standard on all models
