Yukon Hybrid*
*All That Typical Hybrid Stuff
Like other hybrids, the Yukon is equipped with regenerative brakes that capture energy normally wasted during braking and use it to recharge the battery. A new air-conditioning unit requires less power and thus uses less fuel. And Yukon Hybrid rides on lightweight aluminum wheels with tires that have low rolling resistance.
The worlds first 2 mode hybrid propulsion system in a full sized SUV. This patented hybrid technology optimizes fuel economy for various driving conditions. A sophisticated control module help determine the amount of power or torque that's required at a given moment and seamlessly selects the apporopriate opperating mode.
A hybrid powertrain requires more airflow for cooling, so the front grille and front airdam have been suitably modified. Meanwhile the front fascia, running boards and rear spoiler have been reconfigured for a more slippery aerodynamic profile, while the chassis rake has been altered as well. As a result, the Yukon Hybrid now has a 0.34 Cd, compared to the conventional version's 0.39 Cd.
Since the new hybrid powertrain adds about 400 pounds to the Tahoe's curb weight, there are a number of useful measures to reduce the vehicle's weight. To begin with, the hood and rear liftgate are now aluminum. The front bucket seats are thinner, though they turn out to be just as comfortable and improve rear-seat legroom by a fraction.
For the GMC Yukon, each of its two modes has a specific duty in order to deliver the best fuel economy for the situation. During low-speed, light-duty driving, the system works like a conventional single-mode hybrid, stopping the V8 whenever it can and relying on one or both electric motors.
During highway cruising, the system uses one or both electric motors to provide a power boost when necessary. Meanwhile, the V8 engine incorporates a range of fuel-saving technologies, including variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation.
The magic really lies in the transmission, which shuts off the V8 engine when it can, and then tries to keep the engine running at a constant, fuel-saving rpm the rest of the time. And the transition between the two modes is completely seamless. That science geek under the hood really knows his stuff.
