2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid
|
| If the space and functionality of an SUV or Crossover is something you need, but you still want the benefits of hybrid technology, there are a number of different vehicles to consider. The Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid, with ownership costs almost 5% lower than expected, was the winner of Vincentric’s Best in America award for 2009. However, if you are strictly looking to keep your total ownership costs down, you might consider the Saturn VUE hybrid, which showed the lowest cost of ownership in this class. |
