GMC releases info on the SUV many have been waiting for: the HUMMER EV SUV

About the only way GMC could revive the HUMMER brand was by making the giant vehicles EVs. Previously, GMC unveiled the Edition 1 "Supertruck" HUMMER that was a  cross between a mega truck and a Wrangler-esque off-road vehicle. But the HUMMER SUV is the one I think most folks were waiting for and the one GMC will probably sell the most of. The HUMMER SUV has the same off-road credentials that were established by the Supertruck with features like Crabwalk, a very short turning radius, long EV range, and much more. Check out the media release, video, and spec charts for more details after the "read more" jump. But the ultimate long-term success of these HUMMERs will come down to whether folks will need a vehicle this large and whether they will be willing to pay close to six figures for the privilege. The HUMMER is attractive in an "in-your-face" way and should have the luxury fitments and EV tech that this price point demands. Being different and new can only take you so far. After the NBA stars and Hollywood types buy theirs, who's really left unless you need a vehicle with these capabilities (and there are a lot of them). In fact, the Crabwalk feature is one of those items that I hope can stand up to long term wear and use, otherwise there will be a lot of broken, used HUMMERs for sale in a few years. The HUMMERs will be available early next year as 2024 models. If you want to be one of the first for the $100k+ Edition 1 models check with your local dealer soon.

Media Release:

2024 GMC HUMMER EV SUV Debuts during March Madness

Expands GMC’s all-electric supertruck lineup

GMC’s electric supertruck lineup expands with the addition of the 2024 HUMMER EV SUV making its debut during the NCAA’s Final Four in a new commercial film narrated by LeBron James. Fans can also watch the reveal and place a reservation at GMC.com/HummerEV.

The new spot focuses on the SUV’s revolutionary capability and signature HUMMER EV features that offer Extract Mode and CrabWalk¹.\

“The GMC HUMMER EVs were envisioned to be the most capable and compelling electric supertrucks ever,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president of Buick and GMC. “The new HUMMER EV SUV is the next chapter, which will offer many options for customers to tailor the truck to their lifestyles, while continuing to encourage them to forge new paths with zero emissions.”

Driven by General Motors’ next-generation Ultium Platform, the new HUMMER EV SUV launches with the exclusive Edition 1, offering customer choice to equip the vehicle for optimal driving range or maximum off-road capability. Edition 1 comes standard with 22-inch premium wheels, assist steps and floor liners.

The available Extreme Off-Road package adds 18-inch wheels and 35-inch-OD MT tires, underbody armor and rock sliders, front eLocker and virtual rear lockers, heavy-duty ball-spline half shafts, UltraVision² with underbody camera views and more.

Expected best-in-class off-road proportions will help make the new SUV maneuverable, while also making the most of the HUMMER EV’s available signature features such as CrabWalk, Extract Mode and more. The SUV’s look remains rugged and includes a new rear design with mounted full-size spare tire. Inside, a similar five-passenger layout from the pickup remains and includes a large and useful rear cargo area.

Additional highlights:

• Master of maneuverability, with a 126.7-inch wheelbase giving it expected best-in-class off-road proportions with impressive departure and breakover angles, and a tighter turning circle of only 35.4 feet (10.8 meters) with 4 Wheel Steer standard on 2X, 3X and Edition 1
• An immersive interior puts the driver at the center of every moment, including customizable, multisensory user features and an open driving experience with the standard Infinity Roof with removable Sky Panels, I-Bar and rear drop glass
• GM’s Ultium Drive System offers up to 830 horsepower and up to 11,500 lb-ft of torque (GM estimated) — enough power for super-fast 0-60-mph sprints in approximately 3.5 seconds with Watts To Freedom³
• New tactical technology via the redesigned myGMC app⁴ including Energy Assist
• Great degree of customization via My Mode, auxiliary buttons and nearly 200 accessories available at launch
• Next-gen electric, with a 20-module Ultium battery system offering up to a GM estimated 300-plus miles of range⁵ on Edition 1 (with standard equipment)

Additionally, all HUMMER EV SUV models feature the enhanced version of Super Cruise⁶, an available driver-assistance technology offering hands-free driving on more than 200,000 miles (approximately 322,000 km) of enabled roads, and a new automatic lane changing feature, where the system can determine when a lane change is optimal and initiate the maneuver, while following signaling protocols.
