Introduction
Over the past two years, General Motors has been steadily rolling out hybrid versions of its full-size trucks that feature the company’s new 2-mode hybrid technology. Hybrid versions of the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon SUVs were first to market, soon followed by the 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. Also for 2009, GM introduced the full-size 2009 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra hybrid pickups. And now, announced at the 2009 New York International Auto Show, an upscale version of the Yukon Hybrid joins the mix—the 2009 GMC Yukon Denali Hybrid. To be sold alongside the hybrid versions of the Yukon and Sierra at GMC dealerships beginning in May of 2009, the arrival of the Yukon Denali Hybrid gives the brand three full-size hybrids—an industry first, according to GM.
