Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid

The Tahoe Hybrid has virtually the same truck-like body as the regular Tahoe, with a few minor modifications. It rides slightly lower to the ground, which enhances its aerodynamics. It also has a revised D-pillar and flared ends for the running boards, both of which help to reduce wind resistance, and in turn, increase efficiency. The Tahoe Hybrid also has a larger air intake up front for more effective engine cooling.

To save weight, the hood and liftgate are made of aluminum—which especially helps since the hybrid powertrain is 400 pounds heavier than the conventional gas-powered one.

Furthermore, the wheels have been outfitted with low-rolling-resistance tires, again to improve efficiency.

The Tahoe Hybrid identifies itself with special badging on the C-pillars and liftgate.
