Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid
Price: $53,260
Fuel economy: 20 mpg Hwy, 20 mpg City
IntelliChoice 5 yr. savings: $3,733
Relatives: Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, GMC Yukon Hybrid

As far as most buyers will care, the Tahoe Hybrid offers all the functionality of the regular Tahoe with considerably better fuel economy. (Towing capacity is slightly less but, at 6,000 pounds, it's still hefty.)

While fuel its fuel economy benefit is minimal on the highway, on surface roads the Tahoe Hybrid really shows its stuff. Feeling a vehicle of this size moving along at low speed under electric power alone is truly impressive..

Despite a high cost premium compared to the non-hybrid version, the Tahoe Hybrid more than makes up for it fuel savings over the long haul.

NEXT: Ford Escape Hybrid
