I just went hunting in Newfoundland in June. The guide has a 3/4-ton Suburban. This is the vehicle he uses to move all his clients and all their stuff. It has to go over the terrain. It has to be reliable and durable and perform.” Making sure these vehicles perform on all levels means paying attention to the small things. “We spend a lot of time looking at visibility. We look at hand clearance, so you’re not bumping your hands on controls. We put a tremendous amount of thought and analysis into making seats that meet safety requirements but also feel comfortable and accommodating.” Building big also means building smart in order to deliver the efficiency customers demand. “Suburban 1/2-ton offers an amazing range—up to 650 miles of highway driving on a single tank.1 And our 5.3L engine and 6.0L hybrid engine have Active Fuel Management, which deactivates four cylinders when they’re not needed.2 “ Variable Valve Timing controls the valves during intake and exhaust to be more efficient, smarter. It’s just another technology for you to consume less fuel when your driving demands don’t require it. We look at brake drag and mechanical efficiency loss. We make sure the axle ratios are set properly. In a world where fuel economy matters and gas prices matter, people still understand that these are some of the most fuel-efficient large vehicles on the market for moving people, moving material and towing. We absolutely understand our customers and we owe them a vehicle that meets their requirements.” Jeff Luke group Executive Director 1 Based on EPA-estimated 15 MPG city/21 highway with the Vortec 5.3L V8 engine. 2 EPA-estimated 15 MPG city/21 highway with the 5.3L V8 engine.

You put your hands on the steering wheel—the texture is good, a nice amount of friction. You look at gauges, buttons and they’re all logically placed. You get in the back, see how easily the seats flip and fold out of the way. You try those seats, see that your family members are going to be comfortable.

TAHOE HYBRID AT A GLANCE Best-in-class fuel economy 1 Vortec 6.0L V8 with Active Fuel Management Electric Hybrid Propulsion with 300-volt Energy Storage System Electronically Variable Transmission with integral electric motors Regenerative Braking System After building a full-size SUV with fuel economy that’s better than any competitor,2 Chevy engineers weren’t content to rest on their laurels. They pushed ahead and developed the WORLD’S FIRST FULL-SIZE HYBRID3 SUV. This is a true hybrid with an EPA-ESTIMATED 20 MPG CITY AND 23 highway, offering significant fuel savings over nonhybrid competitors. The brain of the Tahoe Hybrid is a control module—the hybrid operating system—that monitors the drive system hundreds of times a second to continuously search for the most efficient hybrid system operation to propel the vehicle. In stop-and-go conditions, the hybrid operating system employs gas or electric power—or a mixture of both—and can turn the gas engine off when moving less than 30 mph. In steady cruising conditions, the 332-horsepower 6.0L V8 engine provides most of the power, with one or both of the electronically variable transmission’s (EVT) electric motors providing either additional propulsion or electrical energy used to charge the battery. When you need to tow a heavy load, the transmission shifts to one of the fixed gears and then uses the power of the V8 gas engine to provide Tahoe Hybrid shown in Silver Ice Metallic. all the punch. You can also see how the power is shifting on the navigation screen, which monitors hybrid system functions with the Power Flow diagram. Tahoe Hybrid has been engineered for efficiency. Regenerative Braking captures energy that would otherwise be expended by braking friction. By using one or both of the EVT’s tractive motors as a generator, braking energy is converted to electrical energy and is stored in the battery for future use to propel the vehicle. Lightweight aluminum in the hood, tailgate and wheels helps offset the weight of the battery. Millimeters were shaved from the chassis and tiny alterations were made to increase aerodynamic performance. Even the tires have low rolling resistance, cutting required rolling effort and optimizing fuel efficiency.3 It’s arguably the most forward-thinking full-size SUV ever built. Leave it to a member of a family with a rich past to lead the charge into the future. 1 EPA-estimated 20 MPG city/23 highway.

And that starts with backing out of the driveway. An available REAR VISION CAMERA helps you detect certain stationary objects while traveling in Reverse at low speeds. On the road, the available SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT 1 f lashes a visual warning to let you know when a vehicle has entered your blind spot. In slick conditions, STABILITRAK ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL with traction control helps you stay the course by detecting the difference between the path being steered and the direction your vehicle is actually traveling. It then uses the brakes and, if necessary, adjusts engine torque to help you keep your vehicle on track. What’s more, FOUR-WHEEL ANTILOCK BRAKES help maintain control and stability during hard braking by preventing wheel lockup. These are just some of the forward-thinking ways we help you avoid trouble on the road. During Sometimes, however, trouble finds you. And if a moderate to severe collision does happen, Tahoe and Suburban are designed to respond instantly. Sensors throughout each vehicle determine how many of the SIX STANDARD AIR BAGS,2 including head-curtain side-impact air bags, deploy. Adding to this protection, we reinforced the roof pillars and safety cage with HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL to help you feel a sense of security that’s all-encompassing. But our protective measures don’t end there. AFTER Should a collision occur, crucial information can be instantly relayed to the OnStar command center via ONSTAR AUTOMATIC CRASH RESPONSE .3 There, trained Advisors utilize GPS technology to pinpoint your exact location and request that assistance be sent right away—even if you’re unable to respond. It’s part of OnStar Directions & Connections3 which is standard for six months, because nothing is more important than your safety. 1 Before making a lane change, always check the Side Blind Zone Alert display, check the side and inside rearview mirrors, look over your shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and start the turn signal. 2 Always use safety belts and proper child restraints. Children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. See the Owner’s Manual for more information. 3 Visit onstar.com for coverage map, details and system limitations.

Chevrolet vehicles and their components are assembled or produced by different operating units of General Motors, its subsidiaries or suppliers to GM worldwide. We sometimes find it necessary to produce Chevrolet vehicles with different or differently sourced components than originally scheduled. Since some options may be unavailable when your vehicle is assembled, we suggest you verify that your vehicle includes the equipment you ordered and that, if there were changes, they are acceptable to you. ONSTAR. OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service and GPS satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function properly.

Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger air bag. See the Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information. IMPORTANT WORDS ABOUT THIS CATALOG. We have tried to make this catalog comprehensive and factual. We reserve the right, however, to make changes at any time, without notice, in prices, colors, materials, equipment, specifications, models and availability. Specifications, dimensions, measurements, ratings and other numbers in this catalog and other printed materials provided at the dealership or affixed to vehicles are approximations based upon design and engineering drawings, prototypes and laboratory tests. Your vehicle may differ due to variations in manufacture and equipment. Since some information may have been updated since the time of printing, please check with your Chevrolet dealer for complete details. Chevrolet reserves the right to lengthen or shorten the model year for any product for any reason or to start and end model years at different times. Certain vehicle features may lose their usefulness over time due to obsolescence from technological changes. Tahoe Hybrid is available at participating dealers. Unless otherwise noted, all claims based on GM Large Utility segment and latest available competitive information. Excludes other GM vehicles. SPARE TIRE INFORMATION. There is no standard jack or spare tire in the 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid. Your vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit that uses a liquid tire sealant to temporarily seal up to a one-quarter-inch puncture in the tread area of the tire. After using the tire inflator kit, it is recommended that you take the tire to an authorized retailer for inspection and repair as soon as possible, but at least within 100 miles of driving. The tire sealant cannot seal and inflate sidewall damage, punctures larger than one-quarter inch, or a tire that has unseated from the wheel. The sealant can only be used on one tire and for one time before its expiration date. FLEET ORDERS. Some standard content may be deleted on fleet orders. See dealer for details. Owner Services.
