For some buyers, the big news about the 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid will be fuel economy. GMC achieved EPA ratings of 21 mpg city/22 mpg highway for the Yukon Hybrid two-wheel-drive model. This is impressive mileage for such a big vehicle, and the EPA numbers easily surpasses the standard Yukon's standard (and less powerful) 5.3-liter V-8, which manages 14 city/20 highway mpg. The Yukon Hybrid's mileage is so good that it nearly equals that of mid-size sedans in city driving cycles. For example, the efficient 2008 Chevy Malibu with the 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder is rated at 22 mpg city, only 1 mpg better than this full-size SUV.
