Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid Test Drives Quietly Suspicious
The test truck operates mainly in electric mode but stumbles when switching to gas power, a common trait in gas electric hybrids as software blends power. Braking feels artificial due to regenerative energy capture into a 300 volt battery, and on the road the huge hybrid Silverado attracts curious glances as it creeps behind pedestrians. Fuel economy lands at 16 mpg combined versus a 20 mpg city highway rating.
Silverado Hybrid tested with V8 and two electric motors
A closer look at the Silverado Hybrid notes base prices of 38020 for 2WD and 41170 for AWD with as tested price of 49295. The front engine eight cylinder V8 plus two 80 horsepower electric motors powers a full size pickup built in Oshawa Ontario. It rides bumpy on rough pavement yet offers comfortable steering and ample interior space with modest tire noise and noticeable V8 sounds during quick highway passing.
