Talk about a hybrid premium! What is so special about these vehicles that anyone would pay so much? A guy at work just picked up a GMC Acadia SLT2 4wd with a 6 sp auto that gets 22mpg highway (24 mpg for the 2wd) and will haul 7 people and tow 4,500lbs for around $30k. Where is the other money going??
A loaded out Acadia would run you more than 40k, $30k must be pretty much a base-level trim. Since you really can't directly compare trim levels and options on different vehicles, it's better to compare the hybrid Tahoes and Yukons to their non-hybrid siblings. And that's where you find them to be loaded to the gills, so if you compare the hybrids against say a LTZ Tahoe you find the hybrid premium to be only around 5-6k.
