GM’s Real SUVs Are Real Satisfying For Today’s Customers

by Chevrolet in the News on July 12, 2011

Even as General Motors successfully works to meet customer demand for high-efficiency vehicles like the Chevrolet Cruze Eco (capable of 42 mpg highway) and Chevrolet Volt (already helping drivers go more than 1,000 miles between fill ups), the company knows that for many people, there’s still no replacement for rugged full-size, full-capability sport utilities and pickups. That’s why GM continues to put so much effort into continuously improving its lineup—effort that paid off recently when three General Motors body-on-frame vehicles won their segments in the 2011 AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards.
One of the industry’s premiere benchmarks for buyer satisfaction, the annual awards rely on input directly from owners, who evaluate their vehicles across “48 separate categories that objectively measure the ownership experience,” according to George Peterson, president of AutoPacific.
The Cadillac Escalade topped the Luxury Sport Utility Vehicle segment; GMC Yukon took home the honors among Large Sport Utility Vehicles; and the Chevy Avalanche, with its versatile Midgate that can be used to either extend its cargo bed for extra hauling room or extend the size of its cabin to hold up to six passengers, won the Large Light Duty Pickup category.
And significantly, even though these vehicles were designed with a focus on functionality, they still offer notable GM fuel-efficiency technologies. Among them is Active Fuel Management—standard on all three AutoPacfic winners—which can sense when the vehicle doesn’t need the full power of its V8 engine and automatically and seamlessly deactivate four of the cylinders to reduce fuel consumption. In addition, both the Escalade and the Yukon—as well as the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups, and the Chevrolet Tahoe full-size SUV—are available with two-mode hybrid powertrains.
As just one example of what this innovative system can achieve, consider that the Yukon Hybrid can seat up to eight and tow up to 6,200 lbs., but it can also travel under electric power alone at speeds of up to 30 mph and achieve up to 20 mpg in city driving, even when equipped with four-wheel-drive—that’s the exact same urban fuel-efficiency performance as you get with a Toyota Camry V6.
The latest models of the award-winning Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Avalanche are on sale now.
