GMC Hummer EV: The built

The Hummer brand had discontinued operations back in 2009 but was revived in 2020 with Hummer EV Pickup. The EV SUV super truck is its first SUV in the last 12 years and has garnered many expectations.

GMC has an estimated maximum output of 830hp for the Hummer EV SUV, which is at least 170hp less than the Pickup’s top model. However, even then, the truck can pick up speed from 0-96kph in 3.5 seconds.

Though the battery specifications are yet to be revealed, it has been confirmed that the EV SUV will store its power in a 20-cell, doubled-stacked battery pack with 800v capacity and charging at rates of up to 300kW. This offers a range of more than 483km based on the specification.

  • Uses an 830hp, tri-motor powertrain
  • May offer a range of more than 483km
  • It gets extract mode, which raises it by approx. 152mm to clear obstacles 

Hummer EV SUV: How does it look from the outside?

Stunning, to say the least. At first sight, it does resemble Hummer H2 and Hummer H3 due to its blocky two-box silhouette, slatted front grille, and rugged styling.

However, due to the large combustion engines that make way for a powerful tri-motor set-up, the new SUV is slated to offer improved performance on and off-road.

The length of the Hummer EV SUV is 4,999mm, with a wheelbase that’s 3,218mm. 

Just like the Hummer Pick-up, the EV SUV’s basic body-on-structure has the same Infinity Roof removable panels, making it a convertible.

These Sky panels are tinted to deflect the sun while also providing panoramic views of the sky or outside landscapes.

Adaptive air suspensions, 35-37 inch off-road tires, and extensive underbody protection make both the super trucks look tough. 

Hummer EV SUV: What’s on the inside?

In the long run, many flashy interior specifications may come in handy for a longer terrain. There’s a 13.4-inch touchscreen for entertainment and a 12.3-inch digital instrument display.

Rear seats are folded flat so that they can offer up to 2,305 liters of boot space. 

The pickup model has 18 camera views on Ultravision, while the SUV has 17, including the standard HD Surround Vision. These offer real-time views of the terrain, facilitating the vision of the best line along the trail.

There are also two distinct functions: the washer function and replaceable lens protectors. There are several other valuable features, such as Crabwalk or Extend Mode.
