Due by the end of the decade, the Cayenne uses a parallel hybrid system that will help the SUV achieve fuel economy of at least 26 US MPG. This, while retaining its off-road capabilities and and a towing capacity of 7,000 pounds...

So, 26 MPG and 7000lbs?

Where is the Tahoe Hybrid? 6000lbs? 21MPG?

They can claim whatever mpg they want. I won't believe they beat the two-mode until I see actual data.

diesel motor maybe?

chakis24 · 11-11-2007, 11:04 PM

the tahoe is a little bigger than the cayenne as well. and whos to say gm wont figure out ways to figure out how to make the tahoe more efficient in coming years?

Isn't the cayenne a crossover?

Much easier to get good mpg out of a crossover(unibody).

No Point What so ever.....

First Porsche Makes and Suv. Now they make a Hybrid Version of it? Wrong in so many ways...

Even if the Cayenne hybrid betters the Tahoe hybrid for fuel economy, the Tahoe has much more interior room. I don't believe the Cayenne even offers a third row of seats.

Can't remember the last time I saw someone towing anything with a Cayenne.

Something should be done about the Tahoe's tow rating though.

Eh, I can't remember the last time I saw someone towing anything with a Tahoe either.

Tahoe is a bigger SUV.

It can also do 75mph on battery power (and this is NiMH!).

I care about technological superiority. At 26mpg, the Tahoe would be flying off the lots. GM needs the kind of publicity--and profits--that the hybrids can bring.
