INTERIOR
The interior of the 2011 Tahoe Hybrid is spacious and leather lined. Our model came with 3 rows of comfortable leather seats. The front seats are leather bucket seats with heated seats and back. The driver’s seat is 6 way power adjust with manuel passanger sear adjustments. The second row is a 60/40 split leather seat with integrated cup holders. Third row also holds 3 passengers in the same comfortable leather that everyone else gets to enjoy.
There is a tri-zone heating/ac system that gives individual controls to the driver, passenger, and a separate set for the rear also. The controls are independent for each person. Never again do you have to worry about turning up the heat in the front to try and warm the rear of the SUV up. Everyone can ride in comfort no matter what temperature they prefer.
The 2011 Tahoe has power adjustable brake and gas pedal to make your driving experience as comfortable as possible no matter what height you are.
The Tahoe tested came with the integrated Bose Premium Sound System with navigation and touch screen. There is also an included CD/DVD player with Sirius/Xm radio integrated. For the people with all of their music on a MP3 player or Smart Phone, GM has integrated a 3.5mm jack onto the front of the stereo, and an USB plug in the center console. There is Bluetooth connectivity to connect your phone for complete hands free calling while driving. The radio has a built in rear camera function for when in reverse. Your screen shows a decent view of everything behind you once the vehicle has been placed in reverse. The camera also functions well at night with clear pictures even on the darkest of nights. The camera also has a function that allows you to invert the picture you see on the screen.
The navigation system comes with turn by turn directions and an on screen map. There is also 33 moths of XM Navtraffic included. This gives you traffic conditions for any are that reports their traffic info.
There is also a screen in the Nav system that shows you the status of your hybrid system. It shows charging status, and whether you are running under battery, engine, or hybrid power.
For your rear seat passengers our Tahoe Hybrid came with the rear seat entertainment package. This not only gave our passengers a flip down TV for DVD viewing, but also includes RCA inputs for adding a Gaming system or other device to the rear TV. The package included a full function remote control and a pair of independent IF headphones. These headphones can work together listening to the same thing or can listen to two different sources at the same time.
The rear view mirror is auto dimming and includes all of your On-Star buttons. The Tahoe comes with 6 months of Onstar Directions and Connections Package.
The display on the instrument cluster has all the information you could need at your finger tips. The DIC gives you mileage, instant and average MPG, temp, tire pressure, 4 cyl or 8cyl MPG, battery state (Volts) direction, and gives you the ability to change options such as auto lock feature, anti-lockout features, and several other options.
In the 3rd row seat there is a 115 volt power outlet to plug in gaming systems or chargers that you may bring with you on your travels.
To help keep the nice black carpets clean the Tahoe tested included all weather floor mats for all 3 rows of seats.
