February 13, 2008 - Marina Buick Pontiac GMC, one of the leading auto dealership in San Leandro, California, is proud to announce the launch of Yukon Two-mode Hybrid that features the world's first production 2-mode full hybrid propulsion system in an SUV, which offers an estimated 25-percent overall improvement in fuel economy.
The Yukon Hybrid is available in 2WD and 4WD configurations and a Vortec 6.0L V-8 engine with more than 300 horsepower is the standard engine. A special four-speed automatic EVT hybrid transmission is paired with the engine, enabling a maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds.
The Yukon Hybrid retains GMC's trademark grille design, but with a larger intake to accommodate the hybrid powertrain's higher airflow requirement for cooling. The fascias are tuned at the corners and air dam and the running boards are flared in front in an effort to guide airflow around the wheel openings. To maximize efficiency, the front of the GMC Yukon Hybrid is lowered 10 mm compared the non-Hybrid version, which provides additional aerodynamic benefits as well as a smoother and sleeker appearance. The hood and liftgate are made of aluminum to trim weight and the leading edges of the hood have been streamlined. For details, visit the dealership or log on to http://www.marinabuickpontiacgmc.com.
